Ibaka return for game 3 rumors

cue up Bill Simmons' insinuating PEDs are the reason for the dramatic recovery.

 

[DesiPower]

This is very good news for Spurs, an injured Ibaka will not be 100% and will through their game off and create chaos. Not to mention hurt the ego of Westborrk and other players. Pop is gonna take full advantage of that. Cant wait to see them go down 3-0

I expect the pacers to bounce back tonight and have an excellent game, with a chance to win it. This team is a head case, and I think the time off will have been good for them to evaluate what they did last game and approach this one much better, start to finish.

absolutely horrendous 1st quarter by miami, and shortly into the third they take the lead.

 

[QueBert]

Foul situation could make this game very interesting

 

[HendrixFan]

The Pacers aren't built to stop jump shots.

 

[lupi]

One of the few games the miami shooters have been hot, and they've been scorching indy since mid way through the second.

4th quarter ggs

just watched LeBron pretty much force a pass to Ray Allen but it doesn't matter because Allen is just not missing the 3 ball now, game over pretty much

 

[lupi]

2 minutes left, down by 15 and just turned over the ball "this one is starting to slip away from indiana" wtf.

The shot charts show Miami has some of the best shooters from various spots on the floor in the league. To be fair, like SA, that is in part built off of great offense that generates open looks. Overall that puts them in a position to play the Pacers similar to how Atlanta did, stretch them out and expose their lack of footspeed defensively.

 

[bunnyfubbles]

lol, yeah, the game was over when Allen hit his 3rd 3 and the heat were up "only" 8 at that point

Agreed.

When the Heat are hitting near 60% on threes, or Ray Allen is 4-4 on threes, nobody is beating them. They have been generating open looks all series long, and only lost game one because they missed 15 wide open threes.

 

[jcuadrado]

Pacers mentally just not good enough to handle the Heat. LeBron is the real MVP. Ray Allen shoots daggers. Dwayne Wade isn't done just yet. That is all.

 

[dbk]

Hibbert?!?! WTF... once Miami went small Vogel just said F it lol

They don't seem to be mentally good enough to handle their own team, which looks like a chemistry disaster. I'm not seeing a lot of leadership out of paul george, not in terms of talking to his teammates. They have a huge center that can't impose his will against much smaller guys. I wouldn't be surprised if hibbert is diagnosed with a blood cancer or two broken foot at the end of the season - he's playing that weak.

Which could explain why his gf slept with Paul George.

Letsgo spurs!! Ibaka's back!! O_shit

 

[jcuadrado]

chirp.... guess the Spurs struggle when they play a team with some defense, Ibaka factor?

Oh, Lebron let you off cock-sucking duty tonight?

What a weird game, though Ibaka certainly makes the Thunder more competitive if he can continue to play at this level.

- Ginobli was scorching hot - why did he play so little in the 2nd half?
- Green is disappointing when he doesn't get completely clean looks
- How long can the Thunder go with their two biggest scorers shooting so poorly. Even this game they shot at 42% which I'd normally think would lead to a decisive Spurs win
- Thunder really out-hustled the Spurs, especially on the boards
- Did Parker have an off game or did he get tired? I wonder if their age is going to hurt them against the heat again

Spurs played like they did in Portland when they lost.

Ouch. I take it gf wasn't invited on the boat during the 2nd round, lol.

 

[smackababy]

Spurs looked really shitty tonight. Ibaka played well, but can he keep it up? I like Adams more and more every game I see him. And, I think Kawhi needs to drive more; he always looks great when he does.

 

[jcuadrado]

Should be interesting to see how LeBron reacts to Stephenson's stupid comments....from his past actions he will go about his usual business and kick some ass. The media blew the trash talking way out of proportion though.... we will see....
