    Lebron's tats remind me of Aliens: Colonial Marines. He's very patriotic I guess.

    He defers it to LeBron and Wade. And rightfully so.

    In now way is Harden built like Wade. Wade is a bulkier version of lanky Westbrook. Harden has much shorter legs a big trunk torsoe.

    bosh quicker than almost anyone at his position but he keeps chucking broke ass jumpers. sometimes you got to put the all on the floor and just take it to the hole.

    his defense has been trash as well.

    I think it's unrealistic to expect Indy to score more than 90+ consistently.

    and Lebron hasn't gotten loose yet.

    This series is pretty much over. Indy had to win 2 at home.

    Indiana has the basketball skill to beat Miami, of that I have NO doubt. Paul George, Lance Stephenson and David West can match up with their big 3 (IMO).

    But their mental game is shaky at best. Where was PG tonight on a game where you HAVE to win. For those games you show up and he didn't. And in the 2nd half Stephenson disappeared.

    That will be their downfall this series. The team worked all season for home court and tonight when you have to defend it they just stopped in the 2nd half (PG the whole game).

    Dude has been TRASH. You would think when your shot isn't going or offense in general, you would try to get double digit rebounds.

    But Indy outrebounded Miami by 10 on the offensive boards.

    Lebron D him up.

    Lebron went off of him in the 4th, but they doubled him hard off the pick and roll every time.

    The Pacers just don't have that shot creator.

    He's an all-star player, but the cheerleaders pumping him up as the "next Kobe Bryant." Do people not realize how good Kobe was in year 4 (age 21) or age 23...Paul George is not even on Carmelo's level, now or then.

    word.

    i can take shots not falling but he doesn't effect the game on another level other than scoring.

    how many times is he gonna get outplayed by the opposing teams pf?

    Pretty much, as weird as this sounds they played good enough to beat Miami and would've won against Atlanta and pitiful Washington. Again, the Pacers are playing a much better team with actual superstar players.

    Wish ESPN would stop referring to the Miami Heat as the big 3.

    Pacers blew a great opportunity to go 2 up...that 4th Quarter was all Miami.

    *fixed* ... They really need to get a true center in the off-season. He's a natural power forward.
