Indiana - Miami Series Thread.

[nuraman00]

Tied 2 all.

[nuraman00]

This is a good game. 61-62, late in 3rd.

[IowaSacKing93]

Game 2.

[IowaSacKing93]

Nice job being aggressive Hibbert. 2-0 Indiana

[IowaSacKing93]

Again Big Hib! 4-0 Indiana.

[IowaSacKing93]

Hey, what do you know, another whiteout in Miami.

[IowaSacKing93]

Wow, Granger is slower than I thought. And then he finished with a lame layin attempt. Got fouled though. 6-2 Indiana. Miami is sucking a little, not in any kind of rhythm.

[IowaSacKing93]

Hibbert controlling the offensive rebound, drawing a foul. Now hit your free throws Roy.

9-4 Indiana.

[IowaSacKing93]

LeBron hitting a typical LeBron 1st quarter shot. 9-6 Indiana.

[IowaSacKing93]

Tied 2 all.

This is not a proper introduction to a thread. Where is your passion?

[IowaSacKing93]

I don't like the pace of this game so far. Too many weird plays/shots. Not enough consistency.

[IowaSacKing93]

George Hill has had a couple of nice passes inside. Neither time was Indiana able to finish at the hoop.

12-9 Indiana

[IowaSacKing93]

Nice, Hill drives inside and sneaks in for the layup. Hill is playing well.

16-9 Indiana

[IowaSacKing93]

This is a pretty big lineup for Indiana. Hill and George in the backcourt.

Then Hibbert, Granger, West.

[IowaSacKing93]

Shane Battier checks in and gets stuffed by Hibbert.

Lebron to Turiaf for the easy jam!

16-13 Indiana

[IowaSacKing93]

Miami has awoken.

Indiana just needs to stay calm and not let Miami take over this game in transition. Then it will get ugly fast

Come on Pacers, prove nuraman00 wrong. Win this game in the half court

[IowaSacKing93]

Bosh is out indefeinitely?

23-19 Miami, early 2nd.

[IowaSacKing93]

Look alive Indiana! Stop sucking.

[IowaSacKing93]

This doesn't feel like a night game. It's still day out here, only 6:45. It feels more like a day game.

28-21 Miami.

[IowaSacKing93]

Hill hits a 3.

33-31 Miami

[IowaSacKing93]

The first 3 of the series for Miami. A long one from Battier.

36-33 Miami, another low scoring playoff game :(

[IowaSacKing93]

Game has gone stale (like old Hy-vee hot dog buns)

48-46, Indiana.

Granger hits a nice jumper .50-46.

[IowaSacKing93]

Granger again. 52-46

3:45 left in the 3rd.

I'm happy that Indiana is in the game, it's just not that good of a game. I wish both teams were playing at their bests.

[IowaSacKing93]

Granger again. Why couldn't he play like this during fantasy season?

[IowaSacKing93]

Wade with a flagrant foul.

[IowaSacKing93]

When I'm here no one posts -.- when im not here no one else posts

im starting to not like you guys

I thought it was your turn.....my bad

[nuraman00]

Hey IowaSacKing93 (http://kingsforum.net/live/member.php?9-IowaSacKing93), Sir Harry (http://kingsforum.net/live/member.php?1-Sir-Harry). Just got home. Will start watching this game now, and if it turns into a blowout, will fast forward and switch to the Clippers-Spurs game.

[nuraman00]

Again Big Hib! 4-0 Indiana.

Do you like that nickname?

[nuraman00]

I don't like the pace of this game so far. Too many weird plays/shots. Not enough consistency.

LOL. I had the same problem with Indiana in the 1st round, and it appears Miami has been prone to that during this season too.

[nuraman00]

Bosh is out indefeinitely?

23-19 Miami, early 2nd.

Yeah. I doubt Bosh returns for the playoffs, unless it's during the NBA Finals.

[nuraman00]

]Game has gone stale (like old Hy-vee hot dog buns)[/B]

48-46, Indiana.

Granger hits a nice jumper .50-46.

Do Hy-vee hot dog buns contain hot dog weiners like the one Lloyd Braun ate, on Seinfeld? (I can't find a good picture or movie clip).

[nuraman00]

I have posted when you weren't here, see those other threads.

[nuraman00]

Indiana committed a ton of turnovers in the 4th, but Miami didn't make their shots either.

Still, I don't think Indiana will play much better at home, I just don't think they have the type of game that translates better home or road. They could be close games still.

[IowaSacKing93]

Didnt see the first half of the game. Saw the 3rd and half of the 4th quarter at the gym, and then listened in the car.

Miami flat out missed their jump shots in the 2nd half. Chalmers was getting stuff at the rim, and Miami looked decent in transition, but other than that, offense was very stale in the 2nd half.

Hibbert was huge inside too. When he was able to stay in the middle of the paint, he was able to block shots or get misses to go up from Miami. There were a few times that Chalmers made the Indiana D look silly.

Indiana had good ball movement in the 4th quarter. I especially liked Hibbert's ability to find an open man on the other side of the floor (George Hill i think) for an open 3. Hibbert had some nice post shots too, and a really nice hook towards the end of the game. Reminded me of San Antonio's offense a little bit.

The bottomline is: Wade and Lebron (in the 2nd half) didn't show up. Who are you going to turn to other than these two late in the game? Anthony, Haslem, Turiaf? Miami has a problem. I know give both teams a 50% chance of winning the series.

Didn't see the game, didn't feel like watching a game on delay that turned into a blowout.

From the sounds of it, Hibbert played the way some experts dreamed of, when they broke down this series. They said Indiana would have a major advantage in the frontcourt.

I wish Bosh was healthy, just because I would want to watch the frontcourt matchup at full strength.

[IowaSacKing93]

LeBron almost got into it with Danny Granger after the Pacers forward pulled his jersey back on a breakaway. LeBron missed the following free throw, which prompted Pacers reserve Lance Stephenson to give LeBron the choke signal. That kind of night for Miami.

LOL!

Remember when Cousins gave the choke signal to the Warriors? Radmanovic then ended up hitting the OT forcing 3, and the Warriors won.

[Einz]

I would trade Evans for Paul George in a heartbeat

[nuraman00]

Ok, I watched the 2nd and 3rd quarter.

IMO, Miami was playing too fast on offense. They just took the first jump shot they could find, rather than trying to get a better shot.

And Hibbert ran the floor better than I expected.

[IowaSacKing93]

ESPN Poll asks what team you're rooting for to win the Miami-Indiana series. 74% of the country says Indiana and 51% of the state of Florida says Indiana. LOL

LOL, could be Magic fans.

[nuraman00]

Let's go Roy Hibbert and LeBron James.

[PackfanMatt_12]

if you could take any player from the Pacers and put them on the Kings who would you take

Hey PackfanMatt_12 (http://kingsforum.net/live/member.php?7-PackfanMatt_12)! You're watching and posting today.

I would do Paul George, just because I think the Kings need a lot of help at guard. I think George has the potential to be a good ball handler and scorer. He's not playing that well in the playoffs, but he had some monster games in the regular season.

It's a bit of a gamble, but I would try it.

i'd have to agree. Like his versatility, his youth

[PackfanMatt_12]

hope to see you in the MLB Gamethread nuraman. Definitely have some things to talk about including 3 games i am going to within the next month

[nuraman00]

Yeah I still read through and post some thoughts, I just haven't watched much lately because of the NBA playoffs. When the amount of games slow down, during the NBA Finals, I'll probably watch again.

I listened to part of the game yesterday, Vogelsong sounded great.

[nuraman00]

Paul George with a spinning pull-up.

[PackfanMatt_12]

tune into Giants game now. BRIAN WILSON

[nuraman00]

Granger is involved in a lot of weird incidents in this series. A lot of mini-tussles.

[nuraman00]

tune into Giants game now. BRIAN WILSON

WTF ok.

[nuraman00]

I missed it, I only see Lincecum now.

[PackfanMatt_12]

I missed it, I only see Lincecum now.

my bad I meant he is in the booth. I love WIlson in the booth lol my bad

[nuraman00]

my bad I meant he is in the booth. I love WIlson in the booth lol my bad

It's all good. I'm sure he's a good interview too, as he normally is.

I thought this was like Willis Reed or something. :)

Actually, a better comparison would have been Baron Davis in the 2003 series against Philly. He had been injured the prior game, and left the game. No one thought he would play.

The Hornets had a closed practice.

Then he suited up the next game, much to everyone's surprise.

Caron Butler also did something similar this year, with his surprising return from injury.

[nuraman00]

Haslem is bleeding like he is in a slasher movie.

[nuraman00]

Hubie said Indiana is like a chameleon. They can be whatever they want to be. Post team, 3-point shooting team.

That was evident with Granger and Paul George hitting 3's, then Hibbert with a jumper.

James to Haslem for a jumper!
Granger for 3!
Hibbert with a jumper!

[bloatedmaniac]

Miami is starting the game out real well tonight.

[bloatedmaniac]

Granger with his 3rd 3. Only one on the team doing much atm.

[IowaSacKing93]

Amundson misses both FT's.

Barbosa hits a jumper. Indiana hanging in, 23-18.

[IowaSacKing93]

Barbosa with a runner!

23-20.

[IowaSacKing93]

Miami shot surprisingly well from deep. 4/5. Lead by 6 after 1.

[nuraman00]

We have a 3 person game thread!

[bloatedmaniac]

Haslem got away with a clear flagrant 2.

[bloatedmaniac]

Nice deke moves down low by West.

[bloatedmaniac]

Nice swat by Anthony to stop the fast break

[nuraman00]

Nice deke moves down low by West.

What happened, was this offense or defense? If defense, did he swat someone like Mutombo?

[bloatedmaniac]

Hibbert with a 3!! Take notes Evans

[nuraman00]

Haslem makes a shot, then runs down on defense with his mouthpiece hanging out.

How do players do that, aren't they conscious of their mouth piece?

I was always annoyed that Jordan would play with his gum, when running on defense. Stop playing with your gum and focus on the court, lol.

[bloatedmaniac]

What happened, was this offense or defense? If defense, did he swat someone like Mutombo?

On offense, he pump faked Anthony twice then banked it in down low.

[nuraman00]

On offense, he pump faked Anthony twice then banked it in down low.

So "deke moves" wasn't a reference to Mutombo then, but just to the series of fakes?

[nuraman00]

Barbosa fouls Wade on a post-up.

I don't like Wade posting up, he's not a good enough shooter.

[nuraman00]

Indiana is falling asleep on offense. They're not trying very hard to get a good shot.

[bloatedmaniac]

Granger looks out of it with his ankle injury. indy won't win without him.

[bloatedmaniac]

Wade with the crazy circus shot for the and1 chance

[nuraman00]

Miami running away with it.

[nuraman00]

Indiana is just turning it over now.

[nuraman00]

Mike Miller lost his shoe, he then played 4 possessions with one shoe only, until Miami called a timeout.

Indiana didn't score.

[bloatedmaniac]

Indy down by 19. Well Indy gave it a good run, but their season is done. This game is over,a nd I doubt they'll win Thursday.

[nuraman00]

I feel like Indiana doesn't read situations that well on offense.

[IowaSacKing93]

Dexter Pittman is a bitch

[Sir Harry]

He should get the same as Artest...or close
....not that it matters to Miami

Miami wouldn't miss his 4 minutes per game

[nuraman00]

83-78, about 9 minutes left in 4th.

[bloatedmaniac]

This is a good game. 61-62, late in 3rd.

Not really a good game anymore half way through the 4th!

[bloatedmaniac]

Indiana needs to channel its inner Larry Bird in the next couple minutes or its the end of the season for them.

[nuraman00]

Wade with incredible drive after incredible drive.

[nuraman00]

[bloatedmaniac]

Hey he stopped a fast break there!

[nuraman00]

Hey he stopped a fast break there!

So when the Kings turn it over, can I say "Hey he stopped a fast break there!"?

[bloatedmaniac]

Its a step up! Typically they turn it over and allow a fast break dunk. Baby steps!

[nuraman00]

I'm still mad about the Houston game in 2010-2011, where I kept on seeing 4 on 0 fastbreaks, for Houston.

[DCKingsFan]

Dang... I didn't like the outcome of this series.
