2014 Playoffs: (1) Indiana vs. (2) Miami

[NovU]

Screw refs. And Shaq.

EDIT: I take back what I said about the refs. But not the Shaq part.

Miami Heat Confident They Have The Right Officiating To Triumph Over Pacers

EDIT: Great game. Outcome was never a question.

EDIT: Bad Hibbert showing up. 0 points and 4 rebounds so far, going into 4th.

Pacers needed the Playoffs to start in February. Disappointing effort, one that pretty much sums up their postseason.

[dare]

heat in 5. i figure the pacers can get their shit together for 1 game

Next time I going to bet on a series I will consult you first. All hail the prophet Sauru

WTF happened to Hibbert? Oh well, this might be over..

[NovU]

I hope they stop interviewing LBJ at the end. He sounds so bored and makes me bored.

Didn't expect Bosh to have such a great game. But I guess it was due.

[JoeJames]

Just a little rally in the last minutes by the Pacers, but the Heat finally finished the job.

Maybe this is over, but the Heat shouldn´t be overconfident (just like in that mini rally) and put an end to the series

[Stress Fracture]

This is turning out like the 2011 ECF. And you know this is a poor outing from the Pacers when the Heat got so many offensive rebounds.

I tend to agree. Aince the Allstar brake/ Granger for Turner deal the Pacers have lost their focus. What's even worse is that the Heat did not even play their best basketball so far. Last year's Pacers cold have won against this year's Heat...

[Patr1ck]

They look like they forgot how to play together. They seem to be relying on talent. That makes the ecf look likea poorcontest.

from ESPN

Roy Hibbert said coach Frank Vogel's game plan was a reason why he went scoreless in the Indiana Pacers' Game 4 loss to the Miami Heat on Monday.

Hibbert took just four shots, missing them all, and was in foul trouble in the Heat's 102-90 victory.

It was the fourth time in the playoffs and the sixth time in his last 21 games Hibbert did not score a point. He did have five rebounds and a shot block.


"The game plan really wasn't to utilize me as much; I'm just trying to be effective as I can," Hibbert said. "Would I like a little bit more touches early on? Yeah. But that's how the cookie crumbles sometimes."

If the Pacers plan was truely not to use Hibbert they're dumb and will have most likely an new head coach next season...

[Kevin]

If thats Vogel's plan then.....FIRE HIM!

[Stress Fracture]

Not utilizing your strength is just plain moronic.

[Patr1ck]

Yeah, really. Who can consistently contest his shots?

[Kevin]

Yeah, really. Who can consistently contest his shots?

Oden.

[YaoKnowWhat_I_Ming]

Game 1 was cute...

[Andrew]

Vogel's inability to make adjustments on the fly or game-to-game may very well cost him his job after the series is done. I can't imagine Larry Bird is very pleased with the way things are going down.

[Kevin]

I guess if they get eliminated in the next game, its bye bye Vogel.

Why would I thank you for a stupid video like that one?

[Kevin]

An old man rapping waiting for LeBron to go to Cleveland

[Andrew]

Meanwhile, that's an ugly half of basketball.

[Kevin]

Miami's role players coming up big in this game.

[JoeJames]

And now what, "the referees are helping the Pacers giving LeBron shitty fouls and he's out with his 5th foul" and even with that the Pacers can't be good on the floor?! ohhh Lord

[Kevin]

Holy mother of god... its tied

[JoeJames]

Finally the Pacers are playing

If they don't win this game with that kind of "help" turn off and let's go
