The greatest player in the world had only 7 points, Indy was at home, and the Pacers barely won. Heat will crush them in Game 6.

Basketball doesn't work like that. By that token, you'd have to remove Lewis' six 3's as well.

Cheat in 6 cause pacers are a bunch of wimps

True. True.
Just can't see the Heat losing 3 in row.  By the same token, absolutely no faith in the world these Pacers could win 3 in a row.

pacers will fold like a cheap tent if this goes 7. the mentality of this team won't handle the pressure.

if by some miracle they were able to win this series they will get swept by the Spurs.

I'm not sure what you mean.

I think what he means is that there is no way in heck Lewis will hit six threes (or more than or two) again. Even though Lebron was useless, Lewis played out of his mind - they evened each other out.

You are right that the Pacers still do have to go to Miami - and that could be the real problem.

In as much as the messiah seemed to be bizarrely officiated by actual basketball rules last night...There must have been a directive that this was to go to a 6th game.  Must've been very confusing to the messiah.  Too bad it'll be back to normal tomorrow.

Sad part is he doesn't need the help.  He would adjust and be even better.

I think HEAT wins next game the NBA has stretched out the series enough.

Thank you for the clarification.

And maybe (probably) Lewis won't hit a lot of threes again, but I think his Game 5 performance plays into my point: With all those things going Indy's way (home game, George's big night, LeBron disappearing), they still almost found a way to lose a game that probably shouldn't have been that close.

As for LeBron, I can't imagine him getting into foul trouble for a second consecutive game ... which means, in my view, the Heat win going away.

I also can't believe that the largest group of voters in this poll are those who think that this lackadaisical Pacers team can pull off three straight wins against the Heat.
