On the last play, all Tyler Hansborough did was switch Chris Bosh for Ray Allen. Roy Hibbert could have easily done that and would have caused a realll quick jump shot for Bosh or a tougher layup for Lebron. No shooter was hot for Miami, just a strange decision.
Miami = stupid as fuck for fouling on a desperation 3 pointer. Indy = stupid as fuck for taking out Hibbert during that play that Lebron went straight at the rim near the end of regulation. Lebron = sick! That game winner couldn't have been done better. Some jaw dropping action last night at the end of OT. Those refs sucked. George also made a sick 3 near the end of regulation to tie it. Good game. Indy is forcing the Heat to play their game of slow grinding, and the Heat still came away with a victory. I wish the Knicks could have found scoring from anyone besides Melo.
I hate Miami but Indiana doesn't deserve to be here to begin with. with 2.4 seconds left none of their jump shooters were going to get a clean look off of the inbound, so why guard the passer? Double LeBron and force them to inbound it to anyone but him. I know Wade can drive, but LeBron is the best player in the world. the first priority of the play should have been setting a defense that prevented him from getting the ball.
Everyone is giving Shit to Vogel for taking out Hibbert. I think not enough blame is being given towards George. He clearly overplayed LBJ, but the play was not supposed to be a direct layup. I do think Hibbert should have been on the floor, but not guarding Bosh, but rather the in bounder.
Battier and Norris Cole (who is taking a lot of Chalmers' minutes) were pretty dirty in Game 1. I don't get why the NBA can't just alternate nights with the series. Instead we continue to get bizarre lengthy breaks. SA/MEM three days off.
http://espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/201...-grizzlies-fined-violating-anti-flopping-rule MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The NBA has fined Memphis Grizzlies guard Tony Allen $5,000 for violating the league's anti-flopping rule during Game 2 of the Western Conference finals against the San Antonio Spurs.
Seeing Vogel say if the Heat put 5 three point shooters on the floor, he has to pull Hibbert is probably making Mike Woodson bang his head against his desk. Not a straightforward tactic, but the Heat negated Hibbert by going small. Will be interesting to see if the Pacers try to go to zone. Still requires a lot of laterally movement for Hibbert and not just waiting in the paint
Off course Mike Miller would hit that three... He played so well at the end of the regular season that he deserve some playoff minutes... Spo is a fucking idiot for going with Battier for this long...
What a great game... Awesome sequence between George's Dunk and Lebron's 3 and the handslap b/w them... This 4th quarter is going to be a good one...
Wade delivers another cheap shot a flying forearm to the head, no foul might be the two dirtiest teams in the NBA right here
Only person who can try is Lebron...Bosh is too soft... I take it Vogel will keep Hibbert in for this final minute...:lol:
Huge play by Wade disrupting that possession after the Lebron turnover... HERE WE GO! Lebron 3 at the buzzer. Go to Indy up 2-0.
