[Eastern Conference Finals] Miami vs. Indiana

The force of hm elbowing Hansbrough pushed him down you see....

 

Lebron got his ass pulled Down!

 

MVP in Flopping.

 

You just answered your own question.

Hansbrough is all the things you just said he was, and that makes him a valuable part of Indiana's bench. He's obviously not going to start over David West or Roy Hibbert, so he gets to be a spark off the bench. Maybe he'll get a FA offer when his contract runs out to get a bigger role somewhere else. He's definitely a solid player.

 

He is turning into a very good player and its all due to his hardwork and attitude. Everybody called him becoming a bust out of college but the right attitude can accomplish anything.

 

i was half-joking, but i cant say i am really enjoying this game...of course you need good defense to win, but i would rather watch a more fast-paced team...or at least more offense

but at least it looks like this game is picking up

on a scale of 1-10 how much are you enjoying this game?

and i do like the all-star game

 

Probably a 9. I hate the turnovers but I love how much each basket means and how much both teams have to work against the others defense.

It's fun to see a team play Miami hard.

 

I find it more understandable for the Reggies, Manus and even the CPs to flop. But the Lebrons, Boshes, not so much.

 

oh and as for the nfl, i am perfectly happy with how it is played now

 

Chalmers and Cole really play smothering defense on opponents' PGs.

 

a 9? fair enough, i guess i cant really handicap a game until crunch time, but i do love me some fastbreaks

 

Honestly, Hansbrough was really scrubby in the series against the Knicks.

This is the first time all playoffs that Hansbrough isn't a liability on the court.

 

I wonder if the Pacers realize they need to box out...

 

This is gonna end with the Heat winning by a few points by free throws.

Or if the Pacers miraculously win, the Heat go on to win the next four.

 

Same exact game v. Bulls. Heat made their run here to get up to 6-7 pt lead v. Bulls and then choked. Pacers must win this winnable game like the Bulls did to make it a series.

The Heat won't be this sluggish after game 1, esp. turnovers and missed FTs.

 

That was an obvious flop by Lebron James, his arm should have been pushed down instead of his whole body. I guess that is part of Miami's winning strategy.

 

Hibbert needs to speak to his teammates about someone containing Birdman Birdman.

 

Indiana is like a better version of Memphis , and they don't even have granger back yet. Is bird their GM? Whoever it is has done a phenomenal job putting this team together.

 

Miami is shooting 47%. They are missing their FTs and uncharacteristically turning the ball over. If they don't turn the ball over, they don't have a problem scoring or getting the shots that they want.

What Indiana is doing well is taking about the 3pt shot, a huge weapon for Miami. But Miami is getting great shots when it doesn't turn the ball over.

 

birdman!
