A sleep walking Miami team losses by 15. This team was actually trying from the start of the game. They're just outmatched at pretty much every position other than 1.

Yep, and if Lebron can't get over his ego in playing the post more then the whole series would favor Miami more. Shit, the guy is a natural 6'8" and 260lbs ball player and isn't using that size to his advantage. It's also really frustrating when he is always on the perimeter and attempting 3 pointers which is feast or fathom with him.

Well... the Pacers were planning to distract Birdman by putting a little kid on the court, but I guess they settled for dunking over the guy.

LeBron doesn't attempt a lot of 3s. And it's famine.

That's amazing that you found a picture of this fan, who probably showed up in the 2nd quarter and left with 5 minutes left to play.

Gotta give respect to road teams for coming out and winning game 2 after losing such a tough game 1. Golden State did it as well last round. That shows the belief and toughness they have.

Yeah...I'm not exactly sure what more LeBron can do for this group. He pretty much did it all tonight in incredible fashion and it wasn't enough. Unless Chris Bosh gains 50 pounds in two days and grows some balls on the defensive end, the Heat are simply going to be in tough at 4/5 due to the size differential.

To win this series, I think Wade is going to have to get back to being the best #2 guy in the sport. That will allow them to overcome the matchup problems. He just may not be capable of it anymore.

It becomes a series when someone wins on the road.... ohh wait, it already happened.

Bosh has shown up for the most part he averages 16pts a game and 7 rebounds which is what he pretty much what he did last night. The other night he only had 2 rebounds. Wade is hurt so unless his knee gets better he is doing what he can. The difference is that Battier, Chalmers, Allen, and Mike Miller don't have their usual wide open 3's.

-King- 05-25-2013 08:55 AM

Mike Miller is such a bitch. Came in for one play. Made the three and limped off the court like he tore every ligament in his body. I understand he has injury issues but that was just ridiculous.

Uhhh.... Wade was pulling off all kinds of incredible shit, wasn't he?

This has less to do with what Miami's doing wrong, and more to do with what the Pacers are doing right.

Larry Bird has built a ****ing impressive team. Paul George has found himself. David West is cold these days but he's a tough talent in the trenches. And they have a 7'3" behemoth who plays like a throwback with modern athleticism. Good point guard play, and some pretty good talent coming off the bench...

The Pacers need to get some more reliable play from the guard position, and a deeper bench, and they're championship ready.

As it stands now, they're probably built to go toe-to-toe with the Spurs or Grizzlies, and cause enough matchup shit with the Heat to bother them enough for six games. But the Heat are just too much right now. They've got a deep bench, two of the best five players in the league, and enough passable talent in the trenches to hold the Pacers off.

Heat have a deep bench? Wut? 2 of the best 5 players in the NBA? WUT?!

Yeah, Wade's top 5 talent when healthy. Even now he's probably still Top 10.

The Heat have a bench with Ray Allen, Shane Battier, Haslem, Rashard Lewis, and Cole.

They need a guy who can handle the ball. George Hill has really struggled in the series. Credit to Cole / Chalmers for that.
