I don't get all the hate for Stephenson aside from his flagrant on Cole. Yes he's been a douchebag, but he has been to Lebron, which I thought the OC overwhelmingly didn't care for anyways. Not only that, but he's the only one playing worth a shit for Indiana. Without him we'd be watching PG and Hibbert maybe combine for 15 points and lose by 50.

I don't mind him at all. Touching Bron's face was over the line, but everything else is fine with me.

I just want to see something exciting in this series lol

I have loved it. I just didnt like the smacking of the face. Thats uncalled for.

But, if he has to do that to get himself fired up and play this well, I wish all 12 guys for Indiana did it.

This is embarrassing, yet completely expected.

Disappointing effort from Indy, just didn't seem to have the energy or legs to compete.

Also too many mental lapses, from a normally disciplined and well coached team it's disappointing.

Paul George 0-6 with 1 point.
Hibbert two rebounds and a field goal (Mario Chalmers has two rebounds, too)

I have no idea what will happen when Miami plays San Antonio (arguably the first challenge they'll have faced all post-season) but I'm turning this game off. Good riddance, Indiana.

Outside of Lance, no one is even moving. West is providing offense, but he and Hibbert are a joke on defense and rebounding. Lance is getting blown by, but at least he is out there playing with intensity. Paul George is a ghost. Hill is just terrible and needs to be the back-up PG next year.

They have the legs and energy, they just quit after the Heats first 10-0 run...

They look slow to me, not making the extra efforts they normally do. Maybe they blew their wad in game 5 trying to hold off Miami.

You clearly didnt watch them this year. They are the dumbest team in basketball. They turn it over at an alarming rate (especially considering they dont fast break at all), and just make retarded passes.

They definitely need to upgrade at pg in the off season, but you can't really blame George Hill because he's not really a PG.

Right, but this isnt the first time the last 3 months. They have quit on a few games, and this is what it looks like. Atlanta regular season at home when they lost by 30 comes to mind.

This was the reason I never thought they were a serious threat to Miami, they have the other parts to compete with Miami but the Heat thrive off turnovers. SA is the only team that can beat Miami in a seven game series, I've said it before and I'll keep saying it, OKC has no chance if they make it.

Yeah I remember that game, have they tuned out Vogel? Is it time for a change? Larry Bird will make some changes imo this summer.

I dont blame him, he just sucks lol.

He isnt a SG either, cause he cant shoot. He is just a solid role player, but he cant be a starter on this team if they want to compete next season.

Im also not sure what they can do with Hibbert. That contract looks terrible. Shouldve saved that money for Lance. PG, Lance and West is a solid group of 3. Add a more active/athletic C and an upgrade at PG and you have a better team then this year, despite losing Hibbert and Hill.

Paul George is a tremendous all around talent and player but he lets the game come to him too much, he needs to step up and be the man for this team to ever go anywhere. He can't be Lebron and pick and choose when to shoot/score because he's not that good. Doesn't have that killer in him yet.

I dont know if they have turned on/tuned out Vogel, but I might have lol. Dude is WAY to stubborn. You gotta make adjustments in the playoffs, and he doesnt, and it kills them year in year out. I think he is a bright young mind, but they might not be able to wait around for him to learn how to coach a team in the playoffs.

Also, I hate his slow down game. The Pacers are actually a better team when they get out and run a bit, but he has them slowing it down. Their offense is ok, but they take SO long to get into it, they fight the shot clock too much. Thats on Vogel.

I agree, he can help a team off the bench in score first type role but was never really a starting pg. Hibbert has always been overrated imo, he feasts on smaller front lines but struggles big time when he is put in pick and roll and has to move his feet away from the basket. His footwork is very average as well, don't know what his contract is like but he is very overvalued.

Very true. Also, imo, on Vogel. You know PG is like that, so run some isos for him early and MAKE him be a scorer and playmaker.

Also, this is PGs 2nd true playoff run (and last years was really, really good), I wouldnt count him out yet. I think it will come. This year seems to have a funny feel to it...you just know something will come out in the offseason and explain the 180 this team has done.
