I've noticed, in the 4th of game 2 and OT in game 1, there was significantly less ref talk.

 

[blackphoenix623]

I think bron was trying to involve his teammates too much at the end

 

[durantula]

We have to watch Memphis/San Antonio tomorrow

What do you mean? that series is great

 

[universityblue]

after watching the replay of lebron down the stretch, it's cleveland all over again

Because they let them play

Word. It is not as if he has been flawless in clutch situations since he entered the league.

What MORE CAN THE MAN DO? It is not like he is surrounded by two all stars and a bunch of good role players. He needs more help.

He shut down George and also shut down Hibbert TWO TIMES. You see that? TWO TIMES in the 4th! What more can he do? He also shut down West when he guarded him a couple times. Shut down Stevenson with his intimidation. He even guarded hill and shut him down. He basically guarded the whole Indiana team and shut them down? Yet Indiana still won. Dude needs more help.

 

[Peep Game]

David West is a pretty good NBA player.

 

[unclerukus]

Sure did and you see the results 

 

[leclutchjames]

Good game. Thought Indiana would hold the lead through the 2nd half.

Born did have two costly turnovers, the 1st was lucky tho, David west just had the smarts to have his hands up. 2nd he didn't have anywhere to go.

Game shouldn't fall on him but maybe Game three he will come out focused like that Boston Game 6. Role players weren't hitting a lot of shots, also thought Mike Miller would get more PT

 

[illest35]

Dont worry lebron fans, those espn "facts" dont show turnovers in the last 24 seconds, you guys are fine!

U know good and well they dont wanna hear that

i hate when NBA fans can't appreciate games

It's going to be tough regardless. I tried to tell you this. This is just a bad matchup for Miami. The Heat are a 3 point shooting team. They feed off those 3s. The Pacers don't give up many 3s. Did you watch the Knicks series? 

There's open 3s that aren't going in that battier and ray usually hit that there just not hitting. And Miami is nothing like the Knicks nobody on the Knicks really drives and gets to the basket as much as wade and lebron do. Don't say melo cause he doesn't. felton and jr drive but there mostly shooters also. But like I said earlier west wasn't hitting his jumper like unsaid he wouldn't tonight. I got it going 6 tho.

 

[acbboyz84]

Where is Lebron triple double at? Oh wait. It has no effect on the game.

The triple double. One of the most overrated stat in NBA.

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Those weren't even bad passes. Normally ones Bron makes. West is a heady player with long arms apparently.

 

[tyonenine]

Lebron has two all stars that haven't played like Allstars and role players that aren't fulfilling their role.

Very Talented Youth vs Champ Caliber Vets

Good series IMO

Please tell Kobe to stop throwing up bricks for game winners.

Who is better:

Kobe-less Lakers 

or

Lebron-less Heat

 

[lawdog1]

The Clippers drafted Al-Farouq Aminu over Paul George. Yes, I'm still mad about it and probably will keep mentioning it until the Pacers are out of the playoffs.

 

[big j 33]

Sure, if George doesn't blow his assignment then it could be 0-2... but if Ray would have hit his game clinching free throw in regulation, they would have won anyway.


Great defensive plays by West and bad mistakes by Lebron at the end. Great series so far.

We can play the if game all day. If the refs didn't slant the calls, Rays free throw doesn't matter because the Pacers would have been out in front. The calls made the game closer than it should have been.

Well if you're just going to blame the refs, then you'll always be right

 

[awwsome]

Excited to see the Heat get tested again in the Playoffs like last year

 

[illest35]

most overrated?

Any triple double shows great impact on a game.

Sure it doesn't show that you made 2 turnovers for the last 2 possessions of the game
