half a period and pacers have kept Miami from increasing the lead...which isn't really a good thing in itself.

 

[Adrenaline]

I just turned the game on. Awful foul call on Haslem.

 

[lupi]

have maintained a 12-15 lead the entire period and pacers starting to pick up frustration fouls.

can't complain too much, one of the few so far unlike the other night where almost everyone he had was bs.

 

[Slew Foot]

Do they only have one game ball? When it got beer on it, they couldnt switch it out

 

[lupi]

lol, 5th for hibbert as he tries to suplex bosh.

 

[edro]

Firing on all cylinders!

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Game over. Great finals coming up.

 

[TheVrolok]

Heat definitely turned it up a notch (apparently a notch they had misplaced for most of this series (all but game 3, if even then?)) and Indiana looks lost.

 

[HendrixFan]

Vogel needs to rest Hibbert for the rest of the 3rd, talk him through the strategy in the fourth and play him until he fouls out. Other guys need to be quicker to rotate and foul if needed.

 

[lupi]

lol, miller playing rebounder to stay in the game, that's awesome.

 

[HendrixFan]

Mike Miller is one of the best rebounding swingmen in the game. With Battier sitting it is shocking that they didn't dust off Miller sooner to help on the boards, provide size, and help stretch the D. He is still good for 10-15min a night I would think.

 

[lupi]

look at all those white jerseys around the basket everytime a ball is in the air.

 

[lupi]

up 19 with last shot of the period coming.

 

[lupi]

and George gets his fifth when lbj drives the lane as time expires.

 

[Adrenaline]

Hibbert and George with 5 fouls each. They have the 4th quarter still to play.

 

[edro]

95% FT for Miami

 

[lupi]

if you were a Miami fan now is when you'd retweet hibbert

 

[HendrixFan]

I'm guessing Wade was trying to pace himself throughout this series. Now he is playing like it is the last game of the season. He still isn't close to 100% but his contribution tonight is enough to turn a close game into a blowout. Had he played at this level throughout the series it would have ended a few games ago.

The Pacers need to switch up their D if they want to make a run. They are going to go bigger and trap the ball on the wing. Might not be enough but you can't keep doing the same thing.

 

[lupi]

green, Augustine and the white knight all on the floor...interesting.

 

[dougp]

Keeping James on the floor at this point is really stupid if one of the Pacer's feel like being trashy.

12 points in 2 minutes can easily happen. I'm comfortable with slowing possessions until the 4 minute mark.

 

[lupi]

another couple possession series like that and it will be at a 30 point differential.

And you call a time out and put him back in. Keeping the only reason you're this far ahead in the game now is asking for an injury - I watched it happen to Manu.

 

[child of wonder]

I am shocked... SHOCKED... that in game 7 both Hibbert and George were in foul trouble. SHOCKED.
