    Yeah, well Harden had a booty in his face before games, you hear him complain?

    Scola is not utilized properly in the pacers system. Nothing but high screen picks and outside jumpers. I have yet to see Scola in the post...

    People shouldn't be allowed to use 2006 to idolize Dwayne Wade. Even casual fans know the finals were jacked.

    The hidden forces at play in the NBA make it very difficult to compare players if we're only relying on team success. We have to rely on personal accolades.

    Sure, he flopped. But he didn't get the call, the foul was called on him.

    Many Heat flops were just as bad, and they DID draw an undeserved foul.

    No. I mean an excuse for his poor play before that.
    Sure you got a concussion at the end. Did you have a concussion at the beginning of the game too Paul?

    This guy is not the third best player in the league.
    Harden >>>> George.

    Totally agree with this in isolation. However, it's a bit dodgy that Lance drew a fine while plays like this one didn't:

    My fault. Felt the game was over then.

    And that's not good that George went back in even if the MDs didn't diagnose it as a concussion right away. George explained the symptoms post-game and you can't let a player play with that.

    The NBA is the worst officiated league in all of sports.

    Yep. This one is fine-worthy. People say LeBron has been dogged too much by fans and media. But it's flops like this that makes him good company with guys like Chris Paul.

    Off to Miami.

    I fully expect 4 of the 5 Pacers starters to foul out, a Pacers coach or two to be ejected, and I expect that Larry Bird will get seated next to the skank trash who flipped off Noah.

    Then after halftime...

    Well why don't you tell us since you seem to think you know

    Or maybe Miami is just the better team which is why they're so heavily favored to win the series

    Pacers working so hard to get HCA and a stronger bench this season. They failed in the second one! Did so much and found very little improvement at the end. Otherwise they would be killing Heats for sure. Now they are having 50% chance to win. But most experts and fans think they will be over in 6 games! Let's see.

    When will Bosh learn that the "Moreyball analytics" approach is not championship basketball.

    I pray that Bosh was joking on some of those quotes.
