    He will have to do that for the Heat to win, since Wade is battling "injuries."

    Today we should find out if the Pacers are legit. I have a feeling the Heat will come out guns ablazing and try to dominate from the beginning. Pacers need to play solid defense without committing a bunch of fouls, pack the paint, hit some shots and not fall too far behind. The 2nd half should be their friend. Miami needs a couple of role players to produce like they belong on an NBA team. That could be the difference.

    My gut says the Pacers will fall short because they aren't up to the moment. Hope I'm wrong.

    So who didn't give him the look before game 3? Why didn't he bench them?

    This will be a tough and interesting game.

    Can two supremely talented players who lack leadership skills and normally are soft as a baby's @ss handle adversity on the road?

    Wade scored 53 in the first two games, so I wouldn't lay this situation all on him. He sucked in game 3. I personally hope it continues.

    I won't be surprised if this is a close one, with the outcome going either way.

    I also won't be surprised if this is blowout Pacers win.

    if the stern minions keep officiating it the same way it's over for the heat. Minions surprisingly have done an awesome job by letting the pacers match bumbs and elbows.

    The fabulous divas do not like it when the invisible man is no longer fouling them.

    I love that quote from Coach Vogel. He's so young, I hope he sticks with this Pacers team and they develop into annual contenders.

    pacers only need to play solid D and stay out of foul trouble to win

    Who wins this game, guys?

    I think whoever wins the first half, wins the game.
