Steve Kerr will fall over dead before he compliments the Pacers.
It's all the Heat D that the Pacers are shooting a terrible %; but it's because the Heat are just missing shots that they are shooting a bad %.
Give it a rest Steve. The Pacers play good D too.

These announcers are sucking Miami's collective dick. Its like a 6-7 point game and theyre talking about how great Miamis D is(even had a damn highlight package of the defensive plays) and how fast they are blah blah blah. But Miami is just "missing shots" no mention of Indianas D. Stupid

Yes. It's fucking annoying. Miami is not sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than Indiana like he wants everyone to think.Midstate01;1172276 wrote:You mad?
The Pacers play really good D. They are a big part of Miami's shooting struggles.

Also that pick that MVP Joel Anthony set was the exact same thing Hansbrough did earlier and got called for it.

One of my pet peeves in basketball is when guys are at half court-ish and have 1-2 seconds left in a half/quarter and they don't shoot it.
I get that it has like a 1/40 chance of going in, but what do you have to lose? Who gives a shit about your shooting % in the playoffs.

Yeah, Indiana plays some of the best defense in the league. Problem in this series will be that Miami has guys who can beat good D more often than Indianas guy can.

True. But Miami is like 90% straight iso for Wade or Bron. And good team defense makes it very hard for that to be effective over and over in the long term. They need to make sure they dont get out in transition and keep wade from doing his usual 10 points per game of cherry pickingLaley23;1172285 wrote:Yeah, Indiana plays some of the best defense in the league.

Agreed. I think if Indiana can be within 2 possession in the last 4-5 minutes they can steal any number of games. They had a shot in game one, then let Miami get fast break points. Keep it within 5 midway through the 4th, play defense and execute on offense. Then it comes down to who makes shots.Hb31187;1172290 wrote:True. But Miami is like 90% straight iso for Wade or Bron.

lol at Shaq thinking great centers need to get 28 and 15.
Hey Shaq you were one of the greatest centers of all time, you got 23 and 11.

It's only happened 12 times and only 4 players have done it as pure centers.

I mean I get what he is saying because there are very few GOOD pure centers in the game today, but 28/15 would be unreal.

So no one has done what Shaq expects Roy Hibbert (large, but a good center not great) to do since the early 70s. Lulz.
