James: 10-21(29 pts) Wade & Bosh: 4-19(15 pts) Heat starters(other than James): 7-29 Pacers outrebound the Heat 53-33
Paul George made the pivotal play of the game with that top of the key 3 in the 4th quarter. That was the epitome of a key shot.
No charge area for drives that start outside the post-up box. If you're a defender, you can draw a charge there on a player posting up, but not a player driving from the outside. The only defense you can do is jump straight up vs a drive for the no-call. The idea is that if you take the charge from in the box, it will be a block call bc you're causing the driver to fall. If you jump straight up, your bodies are allowed to collide in the air as long as you maintain verticality. Yao would defend like this, but the refs screwed him a lot and kept calling blocking fouls.
Again, I don't think the Pacers were going to collapse if LBJ was sent to the line or if it was a no call. Pacers looked like they kept responding to any Heat run even when Miller got hot.
Wade and Bosh shouldn't need to show up for game 7. They haven't shown up for the past 2 series. It's going to be Lebron v. the Pacers in game 7. It's all up to Lebron.
somebody needs to desperately step up for the heat in game 7. heat got thoroughly outplayed and bron had no help. pacers have been competitive @ miami too. game 1 was GIVEN away by the pacers imo. then they won game 2 in miami. and even game 5, the pacers outplayed the heat for three quarters. unfortunately for them, that third was where bron went nuts and took over which was too much to make up. he can do it again, but that's the sort of effort they'll need. im glad for a game 7 tho. more bball till the finals. and a game 7 no less. watching these sorta games where all you want is a good/close game is so much less stressful than watching rox games.
That's because Heat weren't challenged / on the brink of elimination before the Indy series. LeBron will need help for game 7. Otherwise, they're done.
Any one else still think wade is better than harden? The dude is playing like a 40 year old at the YMCA.
