He is an insane athlete! To be able to elevate and move as quick as he does for someone his size is very unique!

Oh, I know. But that's all he has. And he's a very good passer, I'll give him that. But he always takes awkward shots, has bad footwork and is a poor defender. But all of this is stuff that he can and most likely will improve on. I think he got a bit too relaxed when he got CP3. It halted his development.

LeBron fouled out and all hope was lost.

The Pacers are really impressing me despite me being a Lakers fan.

The series is now tied 2-2.

If the Pacers should get eliminated now...I'm still proud that they are giving the Heat some competition.

We all knew it was going to be a good series tho anyway. I really couldn't care who wins so the outcome doesn't bother me.

What are you guys opinions on the moving screen or a push foul(announcers weren't very clear) that LeBron got to foul out? And Dwades step-back, was it a walk? My opinion the foul on the BronBron was a touchy call especially being late in the 4th. As for Wades step-back, may have been clean may not I couldn't tell but after he passed it Battier hit a 3 that would have put them within 2 if my mind serves me right....

Yeah, I couldn't catch the walk either; and Battier's 3 would have put them within 2.

I couldn't remember the last times Lebron got fouled out of a game -_-

This series could go to seven. Bosh needs to be more consistent. They need him.

Yeah, Bosh has been terrible. He's such a weakling. But people need to knock down their shots when they're open, and Wade has to stop taking those floaters of his. They're just so forced and if he isn't hot, they won't go down.

Wade takes a lot of off balanced shots that I think we could have gotten a three out of or possibly an open jumper. Much like the one he took in Game 2 he came down and shot an off balanced fadeaway bank shot from about 7ft. Seems like he is getting away from how we need him to play. He needs to penetrate and kick more often, and he definitely hasn't been doing much during the 2nd half of the season and the playoffs.
As for Bosh he needs to be more consistent shooting. He shot great in Game 3, hell the whole team did but someone we shot 39% from the field in the 1st half of Game 4.

Yes, exactly. Wade is just making it harder on himself. He usually misses a shot, then whines to the ref, then walks back on defense. I hate it when people do that. Bosh is just weak. He gets worn out trying to defend Hibbert, so he can't knock down his shots, which makes the entire Heat offense fall apart. They rely on Bosh to space the floor so there's room in the middle for LBJ and Wade.

I still think Miami's going to win, they just have to play better. It's obviously not that simple, considering that the Pacers is a great defensive team, but Miami has a far superior offense. To pull a Stephen A. Smith quote, "they have to get it done!".

Straight up! And the shot I was talking about in my last post was the one he took late in the 4th with less than a minute left that would have gave us control of the ball game, that's why it pissed me off so much... It might help if we were constantly rotating our big men in and out for so they don't get winded beating and banging, but the down side is it would be hard for them to get in a groove of the game offensively, but if it limited on the Pacers points in the paint and if we can get LBJ, Wade, Chalmers, Battier, Allen, and Cole to convert offensively we might get something goin.

I know exactly what shot you're talking about. I was about to turn off the game after I saw him do it.

I don't expect all of them to contribute all at once, but they at least need to knock down timely shots, especially Allen, given how much of a liability he is on defense. It would be nice to have Cole from the Bulls series back again. It was absurd how well he played xD But I'm seriously disappointed in Rio. He does so many stupid things, and he fouls at the worst of times, always letting people get an and1. He improved his passing this year, but other than that, he hasn't been any good. But he has his moments when he can get buckets, like last night.

Superman Lebron tonight, lead his team in Pts, reb and assist lol

But the unsung hero imo was Cole, he made the crucial plays(blocks&steals) that enabled the heat to pull away :D

I beg to differ! :O UD was the shit tonight! He's such a great complimentary piece when his shot is going down.

yup but it was obvious to me that Haslem had a great game, cole on the other hand is almost a non factor if you just look at the score sheets lol

heat needs to end it at 6, a game 7 could be a disaster. -_-

Ah, I get your point :)

Will be quite difficult though, considering this was game 5 :(
