    Who not to give a max deal to?

    0 pts, 3 rebs, and spots of disappearing defense.

    I'd give Kyrie Irving two max deals before giving this player one.

    Best record in the East
    We wanted home court, specifically for this.

    Pacers such a disappointment.

    George Hill: Can you believe the Spurs got Kawhi Leonard for this guy?
    Lance Stephenson: When he's not hitting shots, he's trash talking.
    Paul George: Superstar George--at least he's trying on defense, right?
    David West: About the only bright spot. Sorry, he can't do it all.
    Roy Hibbert: LOL

    Pacers bench hit or miss(largely miss): C.J. Watson, Ian Mahinmi(apparently just as impactful as the franchise center), Luis Scola, Rasual Butler(pulled him out of the retirement home--not a good look Evan Turner)

    And your bench warmers: Donald Sloan, Chris Copeland, Evan Turner, Lavoy Allen

    Hard to believe they've got absolutely nothing from Turner and Bynum.

    You probably haven't seen the entire series the first two games the refs heavily favored the Pacers, its just now evening out this and last game.

    Watching the whole game, mofo- nothing else to watch at this **** hotel I'm staying at. Nice defensive pressure on Bosh- Lance Stephenson and Roy Hibbert are certainly contributing- except for a weak-ass call on Stephenson's 2nd foul, this is all about the Pacers not named George, West and Scola not stepping up.

    Heat came out way more aggressive- anyone actually watching the game could see that. And, well, they just have better star players. James, Wade and Bosh are just better than George, West, and Stephenson- and the Pacers don't have a strong enough 5 beyond those 3 to overcome that. Unlike San Antonio- their 3 is not as good as the Heat's, but they have a much better bench, and a better coach- and that's why Miami's run will end at back-to-back rather than back-to-back-to-back.

    Well I have and still am. Have watched all 3 before this one, and you have yet to convince me.

    Do you really wanna know what makes it hard to beat Miami?

    When you are the supposed number one defensive team in the league but you are only "holding" the defending champs to .516 shooting percentage through the 1st half of this game.

    When your all star small forward, who was touted as top 5 at one point this season is averaging 18.3 PPG on 38% shooting through 3 games.

    When your best player in the series (for Indy) thinks the guy up 2-1 is showing weakness by talking noise to you as he stomps your head in.

    Yeah it's those 3 refs that are beating Indy.

    And I won't even mention that 7-2 marshmallow in the middle of Indy's offense/defense averaging 5.2 RPG for the ENTIRE playoffs...

    Whatever...

    If Indiana wants to have a shot they might want to think about going with West/Scola downlow instead of Hibbert/West

    I used to love George Hill and think that he was underrated. He's been awful for a while.

    I think the only way to stop Lebron is just to dare him to shoot all the time like Pop did last year. Dude is just on another level efficiency-wise.

    Just pray he misses jumpshots. Still by far the best player in the world.

    Is this the 2nd game Scola doesn't get significant pt in the second half? Is Indiana even tryna win anymore?

    The Pacers should be grateful to play the Miami Heat. So what if it's 5 vs 8 on the court at all times.

    Pacers are imploding at the end of the 3rd.

    3-1 heading back to Indy. Pacers aren't good enough, offensively, to come back. And they just seem to have given up.

    Absolutely- San Antonio is realistically the only team that can stop him. I would have said OKC, but after this postseason, I don't have enough confidence in Kevin Durant's ability to be dominant.

    Disagree. Him and KD are 1a and 1b. Lebron isnt doing anything rightnow that we havent seen from him before, or that KD cant do
