It was over for the Heat as soon as Bosh went down.

Think about it.

Outside of LeBron and Wade, they have nobody, nada, ziltch, nothing.

LeBrons Cavs actually had top of the line role-players, hustle guys, rebounders, and shooters. This heat team has none of the above.

Its LeBron, Wade, and a bunch of scrubs or washed up veterans, they wont go far with that. Not to mention Wade is already imploding and him and LeBron are basically the same player, they would have to score 50 each every night for them to get over 100 points.



It will be interesting to watch the fallout from Wades little outburst on the sidelines. That's the type of stuff that divides teams because he pretty much openly challenged the Coachs authority out in public for everyone to witness. It could lead to side taking. Can't say I could be any happier right now with this development. How beatiful is karma after not getting even a whiff of a suspension on that collison mugging?

what happened with Wade on the sideline?



They're showing replays of it but he pretty much got in his coach's face. Had some choice words etc. Rarely do you see that stuff in the public domain. The pro's keep it behind closed doors if anything really needs to be discussed to that extent. Ask Paul Silas. ;D

thanks, TP. That's great to hear! I hope the heat spend more time going at each other instead of at the pacers for the rest of the series.

Juwan Howard should've just signed with us.

Speaking of which, I wonder what Turiaf is thinking.

Hindsight is always 50/50 but im glad we have neither. Good riddance.

Serves them right for choosing the Heat over us.

Neither one has shown me we would be missing much.

There is no way the Heat should lose that series with a healthy Lebron and Wade. Just like there is no way the Celtics should lose to the Sixers with a healthy KG and Rondo.

When you have transcendent players like that you shouldn't lose a series to a team that has a some nice pieces

I think the Heat is in disarray ,  and I don't believe the Pacers will have much trouble finishing off that team of girls.

Me too. Im glad Celtics have Ryan Hollins on this team, even though he has the BB IQ of a raisin. You know the term deer in the headlights? Well he acts and looks just like Bambi

I'll take a gander your not exactly sold on Hollins? He certainly has his highs and lows.

But i beleive Doc keeps trotting him out there for a reason.

A lot of the stuff he does won't neccesarily show up in the stat sheet but is just as important.

He's an instigator. You can see him getting under the opponents skin.

He's high energy. Always beating his man up the court diving for loose balls. Getting his hands dirty in the trenches.

He sets pretty solid screens and plays some pretty decent help defense.

For the life of me i have no idea how he was able to avoid grabbing even one rebound last game, ill give you that. But i truly beleive he brings more to this team than either one of those guys would.

Not only could the Pacers do it, I'm starting to think I'd rather play Miami.

if they win game 4 ..i think its over for the heat

they just need one more game of great focus & discipline

you guys think the young team can get this done??!!? i'd hope so  :)
Dude, they ARE getting it done! Even if Miami still had Bosh, the Pacers are just too big and versatile for the Heat.. I just hope they extend this to at least a game6 , so we'd get a little more rest..

Oh no I totally agree, I want Hollins here. I liked his game since he was on Dallas years back. Like you said, high energy, hustle plays. Plus he's the best offensive rebounder on the team IMO

But you gotta admit, he's a comic relief lol
Like this video when he dunks on Tim Duncan. Yelling in his ear like a mad man. He's basically the high energy player we missed when Nate Robinson got traded

No he doesn't. He is just a terrible player that we are forced to play because we have no one else. Ronny Turiaf or Juwan Howard would be much better than Hollins is for us.

The fact that he was a -15, in last night's blowout is pathetic. Absolutely ridiculous and a perfect microcosm of what Hollins brings to this team.
