Title: Pacers or Heat?
Post by: frozena pizza on June 03, 2013, 09:00:08 AM
This is a tough one for me.  I always like to see Wade succeed, but like most fans outside of Miami, I am tired of the Heat and LeBron.  I really like the Pacers though - hard-nosed, defensive minded group of players who understand their role and play with a chip on their shoulder.

At this point, reluctantly, LBJ has earned my respect (he's thrilled).  His supporting cast is hard to watch.   Too much theater, not enough production.

I'm with the Pacers.

Well if wade got more opportunities this series would be over by now right?

"We have to do a better job of getting opportunities for me and Chris to succeed," Wade said.

Does he not remember the maybe 5 layups he missed last game?  Wade looks old out there, i think his body has had enough, time to hang em up or become a role player coming off the bench.

Miami.

You think the NBA is going to allow a San Antonio-Indiana Finals?

Heat.

It is impossible to root for a team that has 2x Hansbrough's and a Hibbert

Picked the Pacers, although my heart is with Wade and the Heat. Pacers are exposing Heat big time. Bosh is very weak inside, Ray Allen is washed up and cannot play D, and Otule/Hibbert is dominant inside.

Even though I am rooting for the Heat, part of me would be fine with the Pacers winning.  I can't stand the Pacers, I would just like the "NBA won't let the Heat lose" talk to go away for one year.

Of course even if the Heat win 145-65 tonight, it will still be due to the conspiracy!

I don't think he is quite there yet, but he definitely needs a few months off to let those knees get to feeling better.

Anybody remember when the Bucks were playing the Sixers in the Eastern Conference Finals in 2001 and they showed Stern in the crowd actually cheering for Philly (it was a game late in the series, game 5, 6, or 7)?

Indiana for sure.  I can't wait until the "super team" disbands.

Heat all the way.  I can't imagine how boring a Spurs Pacers NBA finals would be.  LeBron and the boys will get it done tonight, they haven't lost consecutive games since January or something ridiculous like that.

Well, here's a reason to cheer on the Pacers to win (or at least keep it close) .... Floyd Mayweather laid $5.9 million on the Heat (-7).

I'm rooting for the Pacers, unless DWade can take the game over and win it for Miami.  That's the only thing that could get me behind the Heat.

I am primarily  rooting for LBJ, and therefore the Heat.

LBJ? Not sure the "King" wants to be associated a guy who didn't even run for re-election.

Wow, you seem pretty quick to throw the first shovel of dirt on Wade's career. Did you see the regular season he had?

Who, then, would be Too Tan Tommy's poster child?

Neither will Butler, Matthews, Crowder, et al., but they are still pretty effective for promoting the quality of MU's program.

They differentiate by work ethic. I presume they behave off the court as well. I do not underestimate the importance of the latter.

Right, and Oladipo and Zeller appear to be hard working good guys as well.

Butler has potential if he develops a "killer instinct"!
