2011-12 NBA Playoffs LD

Losing G2 (crumpling in G2) was a BIG negative. They needed that. Now they're in far worse shape.

OKC can put the final nail in the coffin tonight.

If Miami loses to Indiana they will never hear the end of it and rightfully so. Bosh or no Bosh, the Heat are superior to the Pacers and are losing the series because they are playing like shit. In game 3 Mario fucking Chalmers was their best player. LeBron played good but when you are a 3 time MVP and the most talented player in the NBA, "good" doesn't cut it. D Wade was absolutely atrocious and the bench was once again awful.

 

[PlayTheGame]

lol the bench is always awful, but I agree. no excuse to lose to the Pacers.

gotta say though, the trouble they're having with the Pacers doesn't bode well for them long-term. it makes them look very mortal. OKC and the Spurs are looking better.

 

[Mr Mikey Mike]

Wow Okc got hosed at the end of the game. You can't call the game as close as the refs were calling it throughout the second half and then not blow the whistle when durant is getting held by artest and then
when durant goes down when Okc is down one with about 13 seconds left. Shame on espn for not even acknowledging that even Van Gundy seemed shock that there wasn't a foul.

 

[jmt225]

I agree... there was clear bias against OKC last night from the officiating. Pathetic.

 

[PlayTheGame]

home court generally does get it

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

I know I shouldn't laugh but all these 4chan Pau Gasol threads are hilarious. I bet Bynum is the most pissed off person in that Lakers locker room.

 

[Mr Mikey Mike]

Thunder up 3-1 and should close out at home Monday. Gotta give credit to the spurs no one's talking about them and they've won like 18 straight dating back to regular season. If Spurs get past okc in west finals then they will win title don't take anyone in east can beat them not even heat with bosh.

 

[INDYjon22]

And we're all of 5 minutes into the pregame show and the Pacers have already been disrespected by these fucking morons. God I hate analysts and everyone besides the Pacers right now.

 

[PlayTheGame]

how?

 

[PlayTheGame]

LMAO anyone else see LeBron pretending to read The Hunger Games?

 

[INDYjon22]

They don't own up to the Pacers playing better basketball, all they talk about is Wade and his coaches drama. It's like the Pacers aren't even the 5th best team in the NBA. It's sickening how much attention the Heat get, and no one gives the Pacers props for playing better basketball and not backing down.

 

[PlayTheGame]

they're just trying to appeal to what most people want to hear about. most people want to hear about the heat losing than about the pacers winning.

 

[INDYjon22]

I suppose I can concede that, it's just incredibly frustrating as a lifelong Pacers fan to hear nothing about them after all of the hard work the organization, Larry Bird, and the teams has done to get to this point.

 

[PlayTheGame]

yeah I understand. Larry Bird's doing a phenomenal job. I'm rooting for the Pacers

 

[INDYjon22]

And the Pacers are off and running

 

[PlayTheGame]

embarrassing start for the heat

 

[PlayTheGame]

pacers couldn't hold on. LBJ and wade dominated. I can't believe the pacers let their small lineup go for so long.

oh, and the crowd was absolutely DEAD for a playoff game. c'mon.

 

[Slyfox696]

It'll be funny how so few in the mainstream media will recognize LeBron James' amazing stat line from today.

 

[Mr Mikey Mike]

James and Wade owned combing for 70 and Haslem stepped up big in the fourth. I think indy had to have this game to win the series now I think mia takes it in 6.

 

[Owen 3:16 says I just stole your Slammy!!]

The Pacers started out strong but the Heat came back. Im still proud of my Pacers anyway.

 

[Megatron]

Lebrons 40/18/9 is the first time that has happened in the past 25 years of playoff games. Amazing.

 

[Slyfox696]

Lebrons 40/18/9 is the first time that has happened in the past 25 years of playoff games. Amazing.

I was hoping he'd get 40/20/10...aside from being a great stat mathematically, that would have been a game for the ages.

 

[PlayTheGame]

clips gone, let's see if the lakers can hold on tonight

 

[Mr Mikey Mike]

Well the lakers are done as expected. I expect them to make a lot of changes in the offseason seeing how this is the second time in back to back to years where they're eliminated in the second round. Kobe showed up no one else really did Bynum was awful with only 10 and 4 while Gasol had a bad shooting night. Wouldn't surprise me if their both gone next season. Looking forward to okc vs san antonio should be a great series although im picking Sa to take the series in 6.
