Indy's lack of shooters is going to consistently doom them until they get some.

Miami just looks like the better team. Indy has a load of talent but a distinct lack of testicular fortitude. They also badly need outside shooting as others have said. Miami vs Spurs rematch is what it looks like.

Too bad the Pacers are reluctant to pay the l-tax. As it is they need just a couple of role players to patch things like 3pt and a better fit at PG.

I usually roll my eyes when conspiracy theorists start talking about the officiating, but some of those LeBron fouls tonight were ridiculous. Some those calls lend a least smidgeon of credence that the NBA called in the fix to prolong the series.

Or maybe the referees were sensitive to George's comments and tried to overcompensate.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

It is easy for refs to get swayed by the home crowd.

That Miami team isn't nearly as good without that LeBron guy.

The pacers are going to get smashed in the next game. The fact they only just won at home with LeBron soo quiet equals trouble ahead for them

Lebron scored what, 7? And Indy still barely won because Miami's 3 bounced out? Yeah I'm sticking with a Heat prediction here.

Did you guys see Lance Stephenson blowing in Lebron's ear? I saw this funny image at SpursTalk:

Who you guys got tonight? I think the Heat will take care of business and send the Pacers home.

Barring a miracle, Heat finish the series off tonight.

The Heat take it tonight. The pacers will lead for most of the game then the heat will come back late and win. Plus if the heat win, my friend owes me 10 bucks.

Heat really taking care of business. The halftime score isn't even close. Pacers look like they just want to go home.

Side note: Lance Stephenson is really getting on my nerves. He's needling Lebron over and over, poking him in the face, stepping onto him, pushing and shoving him, etc. It's totally unprofessional and unsportsmanlike. He's a free agent this offseason. If I were a team, there's no way I would risk big money on a knucklehead like this guy.

I can't believe some of you want us to sign Lance Stephenson this summer.

He's been a complete tool this series, but I still want him. His antics don't bother me, his flopping does though.

What about when he threw his girlfriend down a flight of stairs and then stomped on her head?

I wonder if he sometimes starts chanting to himself "Lance, Lance, Lance" on the locker room... :lol:

I didn't expect the Pacers going down so miserable. After a 9-2 start, the beating has gone from bad to worse to sore on the eyes.
