[OILFIELDTRASH]

Vogel should be fired.

Agreed...I was just excited. Pacers are legit...very good young team.

What in the fuck was Indiana thinking on that last defensive play?

Same thing as people in this thread, that Lebron isn't the best player in the game by a mile. You pay for that kind of underestimation.

30-10-10 and a GW shot and he was still getting hammered for shrinking.

"Let's clear the way for the King!"

Great move by Lebron in the clutch! Plus the Triple double. That 3 pt foul on D-wade was BS so kinda glad the heat won. There were definitely some odd coaching decisions by the Pacers head coach whom I'm not familiar with at all, but I figure he's gotta be a pretty damn good coach to get this far and still be competitive with no real star player. But no Hibbert on the floor? I don't get it.

It's on the coach too, though. He took out his rim protector the last two possessions.

My mind is still blown; did he think the Heat were going to shoot a three so they could win by two?

charles barkley defending vogel saying cbosh wouldve had clear jumper.. shaq says he can live with jumper over layup.. truth

I don't agree with the Bosh angle, but the switching of the inbounds plays is something that you don't want Hibbert involved in.

i think indiana was afraid of fouling on that last possession. hence, allowing lebron to waltz right in. they were probably expecting a bump + jumper.

Good point.

The refs weren't afraid of whistling everything tonight, even in the last couple minutes where they usually allow most anything to go.

But that's not how George played it at all.

lol yeah dat foul on Wade... that made up for all the unfair calls that the Heat got prior..

 

[lupi]

so bad, within a moment of lbj getting the ball, there is virtually no one between him and the basket, or within 6 feet of the basket. at worst he was going to have a real easy short range jumper and just about could have dunked it.

67 FTs total. Everything was called all night.

 

[Slew Foot]

Like Stern is going to let Indiana anywhere near the finals

yeah but not on that shot with that much time left on a Supastar... Stern doesnt let that happen... usually. lol

 

[HendrixFan]

But that's not how George played it at all.

Like Jordan said, you force Lebron left to make him shoot a jumper.

Oh wait...

 

[QueBert]

James is a fucking monster, game winning shot, and a sweet one at that. And a triple double, he's going to be back to back season and finals MVP in about 8 more games.

 

[dbk]

Birdman is very articulate and well spoken.. dont judge a book buy its cover! hah

 

[lupi]

no way I'd be able to be near him for any period of time though, he's just got too much going on.

 

[dbk]

Game 2... will we witness some more #Vogeling in this game?

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Lebron gets chippy with Young and Young gets T'ed up.
