2013 NBA Playoffs

Pacers deserve to lose if that's the shot they're gonna give LeBron with 3 seconds left.

Huge huge mistake by Vogel taking out Hibbert TWICE

Both layups!

[CelticSooner]

why oh why oh why do coaches play to the heats strength ? no one can play heat ball better than the heat. you keep your rim protector in the game and make them hit a jump shot not a freakin warm up lay up. back back times. im freakin like the c's just lost

Yes!

All these coaches continue to let Miami dictate the matchups. Good luck beating them that way.

How do you not square LBJ up George? You come out shading him to one side and basically show him the way to the hoop. Again Hibbert not out there. Terrible coaching decision and just horrible focus and execution by George.

[celtic -_- pride]

WOW!

What a very convinient time to lapse on D.

The Hero got beat off the dribble.

ah im trying to not let this ruin george's great game but man you need to make lebron into a jump shooter. gah ill still buy his jersey for the heart he showed out here.

I don't think Hibbert would have effected that drive anyways. Miami had the floor well spaced out. No way Hibbert could hang around near the hoop. And if he did, he would've left a wide open three point shooter. Either way Indiana was giving up a high percentage shot.

Nah, you give up the three if it allows you to cut off the layup attempt.  Much more difficult play to accomplish in 2 seconds - drive, kick, catch, shoot.  A lot needs to happen.

They just let LeBron dive to the hoop for an uncontested layup.  Inexcusable.

Steve Kerr made a great point that if Hibbert was on the floor it could have gave Bosh an open jump shot, which he's on fire.

LeBron's first step made the difference, nothing Indy can do about that. I think Paul George got beat because he committed too much and LeBron just made a very good play.

Frank Vogel cost his team the win tonight.  That was one of the dumbest coaching blunders I've seen in some time.

and that says a lot considering we watched Doc for years now.

LOL TP

I agree with that, but I'd have put Hibbert on the inbounder, which perhaps with his height and length, makes the Heat throw the pass further away from their basket then what we just saw.

That is not clutch, Lebron. Even someone like Norris Cole can make that.

[WeMadeIt17]

really indy? They gave up 3 wide open layups. One to wade near the end of the 4th. Two to Lebron at the end of OT. Basketball God's got them back for the bad call on wade though.

I don't think Norris Cole will have the presence of mind to recognize that Paul George over committed on defense...

I understand that it was an easy layup, but LeBron's recognition and fast reacting to what the defense gave him was superb, something I think Norris Cole might not be able to do.

That was the fastest hero to zero I've seen in an NBA game.

He will learn from experience. I just hope this mistake in his learning process doesn't cost them the series.

[celtic -_- pride]

losses like these bring such bad qualities out of me haha. i need to say some hateful ish. time to go to 2k put it on easy and ball on lbj to make me feel better

[Kiorrik]

Well, so much for the Heat losing a series this year.
