Copeland hits a 3. Gets put on the bench right after

Kidd gets burnt. Pablo stays on the bench.
 
The Heat started a fellow named Dexter Pittman last year.

I'm not worried one iota about these Pacers.

700


What about Bron at the 4?. Gasol gets a lot of my respect.. so does Tony..

Bron would get eaten alive by Z-Bo, that wouldnt work.
 
Indiana's 2013 Playoffs offense isn't better than Chicago's 2013 Playoffs offense?

I truly believe you don't watch the Pacers then. Paul George, Hill, and Lance have all grown leaps and bounds offensively.

You're basically over crediting Nate and Marco. Bulls went major stretches without Rose, Deng, Hinrich. Hibbert and West are better offensively than Noah and Boozer, although it's close. Nate, Marco, and Butler are not better offensively than Hill, Lance, and George.

You know nothing, Jon Snow.
 
You need offense to be at Miami four times. The idea that physical play gives them a 'tough' series is fun and all, but it'll never be enough. This goes for Chicago, Indiana or Memphis.

One of the biggest myths of the last couple years is that the Heat struggle with "physical teams" with good bigs.
 
On Carmelo before these playoffs:

His 17-37 postseason record entering the playoffs was the worst in NBA history among players with at least 50 playoff games. And yes, he was knocked out of the first round in eight of his first nine playoff appearances .

...And so it continues.  41.5% career shooting in playoffs.  39.1% this year.  NT Knicks fans falling over themselves to assign blame to anyone but the best player and "leader".

"But he has the best 1 on 1 skillset in the NBA!"
 
Dade: In general, the Chicago and Indiana type teams stay competitive because of team defense, strong front court play, heart, and hustle.

Once again, both seem to lack a true #1 scorer with Rose and Granger out.

Would like to see Memphis challenge the Heat, but it's still Miami's title to lose. Anything else would be a disappointment.
 
When is Memphis going to realize that Gasol is a better offensive player than Z-Bo?

He should be getting more shots
 
The only people that didn't for see this coming was Kncks fans.

Woodson gonna Woodson.

Melo gonna melo, get you a bunch of buckets on a bunch of shots but not make the team better.

How is this on Melo though?


Nobody on his team has produced offensively all series. He can't make shots for them too.
 
Both Gasol brothers (in their primes) can be charged with being too unselfish.

Just because you're a good passer doesn't mean that's the best option in every offensive situation.
 
The knick played into my trap so hard this year, I wanted the knick and pacers to be number 2 and 3 so that the heat wouldnt have to play both of them in a play off run. I knew the pacers would beat the knicks tho.

I want the knicks out the play offs so that Laker fans have no more teams to root for in the playoffs. its seems like all of a sudden laker fans turned to knick fans quickly after the 1st rnd exit by the lakers.

Because he makes his teammates worse, not better.  

Also he's shooting 9-22 tonight and 39% for the series, so he's taking shots away from players who would have even an average level of scoring efficiency.  While averaging 1.8 assists.  Yeah, that's terrible for the guy who's supposed to be moving the team upwards.

But because he has 20+ points you can deflect blame if you want to.
