The Heat looked horrible. The Pacers are a tough team but I don't think they have as much raw talent as the Heat do. Game 4 should be interesting.

The Pacers are a much more solid, all around team as opposed to the Heat who have 3 great players (and Bosh is out, so 2 right now) and a good player in Chalmers, and then the hull of veterans and rookies. In a physical series, odds are in the favor of the Pacers due to health - force one of the stars to beat you, and rely on the other players and your odds skyrocket. The question is if it can be sustained - I think it can, especially after watching Wade go off on Spoelestra tonight. There's a reason I chose the Pacers in my selection.
 
Have always liked Lebron but D-wade had really turned into a punk the past couple years. Also I don't like "super teams" like the yankees and duke/UNC/UK. Anyways, rooting for the pacers 😀 and hoping for OKC to win it all because I hate the Spurs and always will.

This.
 
I love that LeBron passes the ball to Wade, who misses a contested layup at the end of game 2, and LeBron gets killed for it.....and then when Wade had a 5pt game in game 3, it's "LeBron and Wade" choking....

Wade is having an awful series, period..

My only fear in all of this is that the Celtics get to and/or win the finals- I hate that team

you can't possibly hate them more then Miami. It is just not possible. in any case the Spurs will win the finals this year.
 
It's a crying shame that we can't have the Thunder and the Spurs meet in the Finals; they're far and away the best two teams in the league right now, and it's not even close. Both of them could beat any team in the East in 5 games. Normally Chicago or Miami would be legit threats, but the injuries have destroyed both of them.

Well, good luck then, I am a die hard Spurs fan and will laugh at you when we beat OKC, did you watch Spurs play in that last few games? I really respect OKC but they dont stand a chance against the invincible machinery that Spurs is!

Reminds me of 07 when Spurs and Phoenix met in the finals, its was kind of the NBA finals as whoever wins would be playing Cavs and Lebaby James, its was a done deal, Western champions will be NBA champions!!

I have a strong feeling that Lebaby will have his hopes crushed by Spurs once again in the finals!!! Go Spurs Go!!!

Skip Bayless: Lebron's loser aura infected Dwayne Wade 😀
 
3rd quarter of Boston/Philly game was ugly as hell. 4th quarter has been a back and forth nailbiting slugfest. Both teams are playing their asses off. Philly has dominated the offensive boards and 2nd chance points.
 
Andre coming up HUGE. I was watching this game early, it was brutal. Boston was up like 14-2 and 25-10. Even in, I think, the 3rd quarter, I looked in and it was 50-33.

After the last game, I thought that was all they wrote. Now I turn it back on after the Phils games and the Sixers are answering the call.

Amazing.
 
How weird would it be to have a Philly vs Indy ECF? That would probably be one of the lowest viewed ECF's in a long time.
 
Did anyone see Doug Collins's post game presser? Hilarious, he had his grandkids out there with them and was doing his best to keep them under control and answer questions at the same time.

At the end of it he said something about wanting Lavoy Allen to 'not give a shit for just one day' and the ESPN sensors failed to bleep it out. Good stuff.
