2012 Conf. Semis: (2) Heat Vs. (3) Pacers

[NovU]

If these were the Magic with Howard, I would be super concerned. With the Pacers, I am still concerned though. During regular season the Heat weren't much of a team without Bosh. Size issues.

[Nick]

I'll take Heat in 7 now that i know about Bosh.

Heat wont win the finals without Bosh. That really sucks for the Heat. And i was actually hoping they could win it this year.

The Finals begin in like a month, I'm sure he'll be back by that time.

He'll probably be back in time to send the Celtics home, and will probably be close to 100% when they face the Thunder in the Finals.

[NovU]

Let's not forget that the Heat were mere .500 team without Bosh during regular season. Nothing is guaranteed, even this series.

[Andrew]

The Heat are falling apart in the second half of Game 2. Still plenty of time left, though.

[SkyLine03LT]

They're back in the game. Let's Go HEAT!!!

[AreaOfEffect]

damn lebron!! what a choker!

[Andrew]

Pacers take it. Great resolve down the stretch, the Heat looked like they were ready to take over when they took the lead briefly.

Typical recovery time for his injury is 4-6 weeks... apparently it's something that just needs time to heal, and it's something that can be reinjured easily.

To be honest i think the Heat are up against it now. They'll need a miracle to win it this year. I'm thinking of putting money on the Thunder or Celtics now.

[Radioman]

Great Game by the Pacers.

[NovU]

I was so bz all day long and missed the game. What happened?

[hova-]

Wow, except LeBron and Wade, no Heat has the potential to go off for double digits scoring. I don't like injuries to affect the game, but I think not having Bosh is a huge blow to this team which is not stacked at all.

[SkyLine03LT]

I hate the fact that the Heat bench ain't bringing it this year again. I mean 6 points in 2nd half by players other than LeBron and D Wade... Terrible. If this keeps on the Heat are losing again, with Bosh or without.

[JBoom_LALALAND]

Without Bosh .. it seems like the Heat are a bunch of idiotic people ... the bench guys are retarded. LeBron criticized because of coaching decisions ... huh ...

The bench of the heat is performng the Laker Bench .,.. unproductive ...

[shadowgrin]

Even with Bosh the Heat are weak to win it all. They need a decent bench. They haven't learned from last year's Finals.

[Andrew]

Even without Bosh, I have to believe the Heat are a better team than yesterday's performance would indicate. That was still a very winnable game but nobody came through in crunch time. LeBron was scoreless in the last 4:30 and missed those two free throws, Wade missed some easy ones and no one else stepped up to make some shots. That can't all be pinned on Bosh's absence, though perhaps this will result in Bosh getting a little more credit and stifle the "Big Two"/"Big Two and a Half" talk somewhat.

[benji]

Well, that was a bit of a disaster.

They had Chalmers step up to provide a third 20 point scorer and Wade took the night off instead.

[Dc311]

The Pacers spit in their faces tonight.Where is all the hype?

[JoeJames]

This year we gonna see another NBA Finals between a potencial dinasty team (OKC) vs. a "Loser" (no a contender team, but that have look in their series) team (Pacers/Celtics and their DinoFive/Sixers)

Just like the another look out

[NovU]

fuck the hell happened...

[shadowgrin]

Heat got bored.

[Dc311]

I think it is a bit too early to call OKC a "dynasty".Oh wait,you put "potential dynasty".Let me rephrase that.I think it is a bit too early to call OKC a "potential dynasty".Weren't the heat suppose to be a dynasty?

[Nick]

Heat are fucked. They aint winning it this year. I feel bad for lebron who's gotta deal with another year of not winning a title. He'll cop all the blame somehow.

Those annoying memes are gonna be around for even longer.

[Andrew]

Those annoying memes are gonna be around for even longer.

We have our own to run into the ground yet.





The second being somewhat fitting given the circumstances.

I still believe the Heat are better than this, even without Bosh. If Wade gets his average, if Battier knocks down a few open threes instead of going 0/6 from long range and 0/7 overall, they at least eke out a victory in this one. It is starting to look a bit grim though.
