- Sabonis out (plantar fasciitis) - Warren also battling plantar fasciitis Those are 2 key players. One is an All-Star, the other one has been playing like one in the bubble. It's hard not to take Heat in 5 or 6 games.
The 3 best Pacers players (Sabonis, Oladipo, Warren) all were either not in the game, had to leave the game or had to deal with nagging injuries. Hard not to see the Heat in 4.
Reminds me of JVG clowning Caris LeVert in the game one of Raptors/Nets. He was mic'd up and paraphrasing said "This is gonna be a long series man." Nah, these are both gonna be short series.
Goran went from one of the most "disposable" Miami players last summer to 6th man of the year candidate. Nunn has been starting in his place (even WInslow would if he didn't get traded) and is a ROTY finalist. Come playoff time? Nunn doesn't see a minute of play while Goran jumps straight into starting 5, averaging over 20 pts per game. Now Miami fans are hoping they can retain him for something like MLE. Damn fans, some are so short sighet. Happy Goran showed up when it mattered!
