2012 NBA Playoffs

[Spilling Green Dye]

Indiana just blew this game.  All they had to do was pound it down low to either Hibbert or West in the post and they'd either score there or get an open 3-pointer.  It would also have prevented some of the Miami fast breaks.  Terrible Indiana offense.

Indiana under-utilize David West in my opinion....I'd much rather him get some more of the shots that granger and muppets like barbosa and hill take...west can shoot the orange from mid range and work in the post...Why not use him?

I haven't liked their offense all season long. I don't think much of their coach.

Indiana did blow this.

But the refs helped. All of Indiana's key players were in foul trouple the whole game because of their BS. It's a joke. Just because one team has more talent than the other, doesn't mean they deserve more calls. It's pathetic. Embarrassing. Ridiculous. NBA needs an entire regime change/overhaul to fix the mess that is this league.

Worst part about it, is we (who are considered one of the ref's favorites by many other fans in the league) are going to get the same treatment if we make it by the Sixers.

That LeBron fellow sure does suck in the 4th, huh?

Of course, when you're playing 8 vs 5

The only Miami Heat player in foul trouble was Mario Chalmers.

The multiple Pacer players in foul trouble were Roy Hibbert, Paul George, and George Hill who are some of the Pacers better players. I find this to be a bit one sided when LeBron and Wade combine for just two fouls..  

[Neurotic Guy]

That may have been Indiana's best chance to avoid a sweep. I hope Indy can take 1 at home, but I wouldn't bet on it.

He looked good in the ECSF too. Miami is a frontrunning team. They're wasn't pressure on them today.

The calls might have slightly favored the Heat, but the way the teams played certainly factored into this. Indiana settled for jumpshots while the Heat drove inside and drew contact.

Wouldn't you if you knew that if someone even touched you you'd get the foul call?

Miami Big 3 played 99 minutes combined and had 2 fouls
Rest of Miami team played 140 minutes and has 20 fouls.

Indiana is a horrible team, they cant even beat the Heat with Bosh out.

They are going to get swept, just a bad team in general, this is why nobody takes them seriously.

Yea just ridiculous and it wasn't until the late 3rd or darn near 4th until LeBron or Wade were whistled for a foul

besides the foul discrepency, I think Indianas yough really is what killed them in the end. When Miami went on that run they lost their composure and went away from what was working...getting the ball to hibbert/West in the post.

theres the difference between teh celtics and pacers...look at last night.
