2012 NBA Playoffs

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.

It was painful to watch Indiana blow this huge opportunity.  With Bosh out the Heat were relying on Joel Anthony and the horrible Turiaf for their inside presence.  West and Hibbert should have been able to dominate but the Heat somehow actually outrebounded Indiana.  The Pacers kept standing around on offense with Granger and Hill jacking up 3 pointers.

To see Miami make zero 3 pointers and lose their only big man scoring threat yet still shut down Indiana was impressive.

Granger needs to step up. Period.

Pacers went cold and the Heat got a lot of whistles, don't get me wrong, Lebron and Wade made shots but Wade had a play where he literally jumped in the air and had no idea where he was going with the ball and then his feet hit the ground before he had totally got rid of the ball and it ended up being free throws for Lebron, the refs are afraid to blow the whistle on Wade and Lebron at the end of the games which gives Miami a huge advantage.

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..  

Watching carefully the first game, does not seem to be a "sweep series" scenario. So, if Pacers wil be more agresive, is not be easy for MIAMI to get the series.

Here's to hoping the Thunder destroy the Lakers to make up for my evening...

Kind of ignorant... No offense to anyone

[BostonArizona]

Can anyone honestly like Ron Artest? He's such a literal scumbag.

The officials make it impossible to try and defend Bynum... Ibaka and Perkins each getting quick calls as soon as they try and defend him.

[Adelaide Celt]

Come on Thunder, beat those insufferable pricks.

[Adelaide Celt]

OKC should just rest Perk for the rest of the game. They know they're the better team here. 30+ lead with plenty of time left still in the 3rd.

With Bosh hurt I don't think anyone can beat OKC besides SA. Don't think Boston could keep up, but I do think Boston could beat SA.

Love seeing the Lakers get thrashed. They will be lucky to win a game in this series.

Stick a fork in the Lakers.

They are done.

down 33 points end of 3rd quarter, ouch!

I will say one good thing that came out of tonight is that the Lakers are getting blown out. Lakers fans are nervous and blaming people left and right. I haven't heard one Laker fan tonight about the Celtics.
OKC looks really dangerous and I can see them taking it all this year.

I thoroughly enjoyed the ass whooping the Lakers took tonight!
