Heat coast through in 6 with the series never even looking all that close.

I'm hoping the Pacers get motivated for being in the ECF and make this a series. Probably not going to happen though.

Hoping for multiple fist fights and suspensions

Heat in 4. I have no faith in Indiana making this series competitive.

Pacers gotta win today if they want to make this a series. Element of surprise will be big here. Come out and jump on them early.

Hey, someone found the pre-all-star-break Pacers and told them to show up for the first 6 minutes of today's game.

They have got to keep exploiting Lebron in the post against West. Even when it hasn't worked out for the Pacers, Lebron looks awkward and out of position, and he's not doing a lot on the other end.

I see the good pacers came to play today. I hope they can take out the heat

Heck of a half by the Pacers.

It is only a 15 point game, but it feels like the Heat should be down by 30. They're getting dominated but somehow still hanging in.

I can't stand having to see Ray Allensr stupid smug face every time he makes a three. Also, take the damn gum out of your mouth.

If pacers blow this game, this is going 4.
I think they are that mentally fragile.

That quarter just showed how little depth the Pacers have. Though to be fair, it was Lebron out there taking advantage of their backups.

This. Can't stand RA. I wish Bowen still played just to annoy this ass hole.

It's hard for any player to be likable when at every juncture of the game he looks at everyone like he's going to murder them in their sleep.

I'm still convinced the Pacers will choke this game away somehow.

They win this game, but they will lose series.

This ass-whooping is sure to wake Miami up.

This.

At least the Pacers will force this series to go 5. Can't let the Heat have too much rest before the Spurs beat OKC.

Also, don't underestimate the Pacers' hate for the Heat. They also have a little thing called home court advantage. Heat win series, but Pacers make 'em work for it.

Maybe, maybe not. Hope the heat lost it all anyways.

Anybody who watched the game want to comment on the FTA disparity? Were the refs terrible or were the Heat settling for jumpers all day?

Pacers were being very aggressive, constantly driving to basket. Miami played sloppy, lazy defense and kept playing passing lanes for breakaways instead of just staying home.

On offense, Miami kept shooting midrange fadeaways and Bosh kept bricking 3's. Miami shied away from driving to the basket a lot when Hibbert was already in good defensive position.

Winning this series means everything to the Pacers. They hate the heat.

Yeah, Indiana would throw a parade just for winning the ECF. But that won't happen anyway.

If the Pacers somehow pulled this series off...

Heat in 5. They win game 2 by 15 plus.

Well, Indiana proved me completely wrong in game 1. I'm still skeptical if they can keep it up

The Pacers just woke up the angry bear enjoying its nap through the East playoffs. Miami probably won't blow out Indiana every game, but they probably will take a 3-1 lead and then close it out at home in game 6.

Hopefully Wade will blow out his knee and Allen will tear his achilles. That's about what the Pacers would need to happen to win. Too bad OKC has had all the bad injury luck the past couple years, cause it's teams like Miami that would be much more deserving of that fate.

I think this is anyone's series. Miami isn't the team of last year.

Neither are the pacers.

I don't know if the pacers poked a bear or not. I do know they can't win the series without winning some games.

Heat will probably be a different team next time on the court. But the pacers had to win one of these games.

Pacers in 6! I'm calling it.

The team hasn't been playing well as of late obviously but they are much deeper than last year with Evans and Scola (Granger was injured). Miami, not so much.
