the heat may have had a few flops tonight, but what else could they do? apparently it was the only way to get the refs to whistle a foul on anyone other than miami. even then, as many others have noted, it still led to a 44-28 advantage from the line for the pacers. even with the heat scoring a lot more in the paint. pacers still shot a ton of free throws, hit 57% of their 3's, and didn't turn it over much (only 10) but they finally started to miss some shots in the 2nd half. we'll see if they keep shooting closer to their averages.
You need offense to beat the Heat (like historic - ask the Mavs). Pacers have no chance in this series b/c they can't score. Even when they shot 50% they still have trouble cracking 100 points. Spurs will have a better chance.
I've seen one post for this game complaining about LeBron. And that wasn't even a serious complaint. Who exactly is hating on LeBron?
Dominate comeback by the Heat. Should be a great series. I expect the Pacers to tie it up in game four. Love to watch competitive games, keep it going because the Spurs about to sweep and sit.
Well I guess heat hater? People are complaining about the refs when the pacers shot so many more FTs.
Pacers are shooting more free throws because Miamis big men are holding and playing aggressive on Hibbert and West. Hibbert deserved at least 12 of those free throws tonight.
Paul George has more FTA than Lebron for the entire series. Just stop. And another fact: Miami has outscored the Pacers in the paint in 2 of the 3 games. In game 2, it was tied. Miami has been attacking the paint relentlessly. Hibbert gets away with murder more than half of the time.
haha Wade got mugged and a no call in the 3rd quarter at the same time as the refs were blowing every touch foul against the Heat, the Pacers are basically in the penalty within like 4 mins of the quarter start.
It sucks how Roy Hibbert is getting so much attention for being a supposed superstar when he was such a terrible player in the regular season. I had him on my fantasy team so I know first hand how disappointing his season has been. David West should be getting more of the attention with the way he demolishes the Heat down low. He's an absolute beast.
Lmao at pacertom saying "blowing game 1 is looming large" . Jesus. Miami is the team qho almost blew game 1 with that ray allen free throw miss to seal it and miami blew game two by not hitting 3sthe like they have done all year. 4-1 heat. Goodnight. Pacers. Yawn.
Quit hatin' on him taking the Robert Horry approach to a basketball career. At least Hibbert has good games... Horry had good shots. :grin:
Indiana actually gets hit to receive their calls and they attack the rim more and have 2 bigs who play in the post so yea they should have more free throws. My point was not that Indiana doesn't get free throw attempts, my point was that if you slightly touch wade, he'll get a call while Stephenson will take a beating and still no calls for him. It was only for Stephenson. I've seen Hibbert, west, and George at the line cause they get hit by the bigs pretty hard and pulled down by battier and haslem. I've also seen wade and Lebron on the line a lot.
