Heat vs Pacers! The official ECF series thread!

I was just saying that Charles Barkley is a Chuck artist.

 

Where does Craig Sager shop for those ugly ass duds?

 

Yeah but if Miami would have been down 1-0 then they would have reacted differently. I have always been a believer that the previous game's final result effects how you play the next game.

 

Mr. Rags.

 

I'm absolutely convinced King Speed is his personal clothes shopper.

 

PG you gonna do anything this game?

 

There ya go.

 

Wish we had George Hill.

 

Stephenson has a little JR Rider in his game.

 

Well this game sucks. I turned it off. Wipeouts on.

 

People way too quick to anoint PG as the next superstar.

 

One thing bothered me; that all the announcers seemed to be saying that Wade had no intention when he slammed his elbow into Stephenson's head in the previous game. What I saw was Stephenson backing up in a straight line and Wade comes running at him, launches into the air, leading with his elbow into Stephenson's head. How does that happen accidentally?

 

....and, if you've ever been to the south, it's pronounced "Co-Cola 600".

 

Wade has been teacher's pet since he was a rookie.

 

So did no one watch this game?

Figured this thread would be several pages long with comments after watching it... at least concerning the "shot clock violation." That might be the worst/most important missed call of the season thus far, and it's definitely one that adds gasoline to the "NBA is fixed" fire. Thank God the Pacers pulled it out, but if they hadn't that'd, probably be the main topic of discussion in the sports world until game five.

Not surprisingly, Joey Crawford was reffing the game...

Anyway, from watching this series, the "Big Three" looks like a "Big One and a Half." Bosh has prematurely become more of a pick-and-pop shooter in the Garnett model, but without the Garnett defense and rebounding. As far as Wade goes, maybe it's the knee, but he's not himself. I heard Nate Robinson talking about him the other day, saying that most guys have figured his moves out, and he just really needs to play with more energy out there, because he half-asses it out there nowadays (paraphrasing).

 

Joey Crawford always has to make himself the most important person on the court, it is super annoying. If you were talking about the Hibbert missed shot that Tyler Hansborough was putting back up when the shot clock violation was called The pacers announcers were talking about how it was a missed call but that it wasn't a reviewable play. I haven't' seen the replay but it doesn't seem like a huge thing, even though it led to the heat going on a pretty nice run, just a missed call which happens all the time in games.
The Pacers announcers weren't to happy with the officials, seemed to think they were whistle happy, but did acknowledge that both sides were getting very "interesting" calls.

 

That'd be the play... it was was pretty egregious. It's not even like the ball "skimmed" the rim, it straight up clanked it in the right corner. You could've been sitting in the upper bowl and seen that one. I think Reggie Miller even called it the worst missed "24 second" call he's seen. The call was not only that bad, but it was really pivotal time in the game for Indiana in controlling the momentum.

 

Crooked Crawford is a crook.

 

Refs ruined a great game at the end there. Surprised at how average Miami looks. Bron has to get near a triple double for them to win it seems like, because no one else is stepping up. Ray Allen's shot is way off right now.
