Miami -7 (game 2)

[BigDofBA]

I feel like a massive overreaction is happening after game 1.

It looks like everyone on his site is on the Pacers.

What normally happens when a dog is this trendy on the road against the defending champs?

[oldscho0led]

Public and the forum all over Pacers. No play for me.

[ashulga]

Mia is the play. I hope more people play Indiana and we get better line but I doubt it. Miami by dd easily

[BigDofBA]

Miami is the better team. It's not a lock they cover 7 but I think they will.

Everyone here will consider this a square play despite the fact that I'm in the minority.

Back the Pacers at home. Not here. GL.

[t-wizzle]

Idk what normally happens?

[MP123]

Ur 1 of the best NBA cappers on this forum, u know what ur doin n I gotta respect u 4 that but I gotta disagree w u, everywhere I look in sbr I see Miami will DESTROY the pacers today... I think ima hafto go on the pacers n over again

[BigDofBA]

It's not a lock by any means. I just feel like Miami is the right side.

I wouldn't argue with people that take the Pacers either. I understand the logic, I just don't agree with it.

The Pacers can look great one game and score 64 points the next.

Game 1 was the Pacers game to win. Miami should be awake now.

GL.

This is typical game two. Nets blow out bulls game one, everyone jumps and nets and bulls win. Spurs blow out Memphis game one, majority jump on spurs and Memphis covers. Indiana beats New York in game one, everyone backs them with big +6 pt spread game two and Knicks blow them out. This is no different, I would be shocked if Mia doesn't win by dd
Sometimes you cap, and other times you make spot plays. This is a spot play.

You guys make sense....public usually doesn't know wtf they're doing. I still like Indy again though. One team is still underrated and one is overrated. Wade is a shell of what he used to be...although very smart on the court. Allen is almost Kidd-level washed up and Birdman won't go 7-7 or whatever again. Indy should get better guard play from Hill/Stephenson as well. As long as Hill is fully recovered from the concussion anyway? I stupidly argued with many bettors yesterday on here about Paul George. 60% of the public still thinks he's average or so. Better numbers than Jordan or Pippen had at 23 but whatever. This team is still underrated. Finally its Indys game 7...nobody is beating the Miami LeBrons 4 out of 5.

[Mr Handicapable]

A few more thoughts/numbers

Indy is now 9-4 ats in the playoffs

Miami was up 22-4 or something on Chicago in their closeout game and let that squad of misfits, amputees, and hospital patients almost put it into OT. They let off the gas against a desperate team in other words...I see Indy being more desperate tonite but not a big play by any means.

[MP123]

I gotta disagree with u there, the only reason the pacers had a letdown in game 2 is because they're still a very young inexperienced team n they smelled blood n didn't go for the kill... They were happy w splitting 1 of 2 in New York in games 1 & 2... And Atlanta and New York MUCH tougher to beat in their homecourt... Not saying Miami isnt, but honestly the pacers match up well against all 3 teams, but call me crazy i think they matchup best vs the heat, and call me crazy again but I like them for the series

[Pick'nParlays]

Mp123 you crazy

Miami ML

[ashulga]

New York was one man show whole series. And even that one man was M.i.A for half the series and they still covered twice at home by dd. I believe Indiana will have hard time getting past 80 tonight and Miami will be in the 90s. Indianas weakness is its bench only two players scored and handsborough is not getting 10/6 again. So u have to rely on 3 of ur starters combing for 72 Pts again? Will not happen. And you can tell George hill is not himself yet. Miami bench will actually have much better performance this game, and Lebron is never in foul trouble and that took his aggressiveness away last game

[Speedy88]

SBR doesn't control who wins or loses, but I do agree that it is scary when all of SBR is on a dog.

Then again, wasn't SBR always on GS as a dog against Denver/SA and they covered pretty much every game as a dog in both series.

[GoBlue77]

bottom line. who is more motivated, i'd think the guys that got knee'd and punched in the nuts and are pissed off imo. yes indy has proved to be jeckyl and hyde on the road but i would be stunned if they didnt cover 8 tonight.

Birdman isn't going 7 for 7 either. You are right about Hill but Indy seems to think he'll bounce back. Indy still has a big inside advantage and should have a decent ft advantage again. Hibbert has been doing a good job going straight up and their backup is a 7 ft'er too. George just turned 23 and needs to amp up his aggressiveness early....scores half his pts or more in the 4Q all the time. You make sense though...not a big play for me as Indys bench is weak offensively like you said.

[Speedy88]

How the refs call fouls on Hibbert will be huge.

I really hate to be this bitter here but... are you Mr handicapable or mentally handicaped?

Jordan at 23: 29.8 PER. 33.4, 4.7 and 4.1. 2.6 steals and 1.4 blocks. 3 TOV 48.4 EFG%
George at 23: 16.8 PER (lol). 17.4 7.6 and 4.1. . 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks. 2.9 TOV. 49.1 EFG%

Are you joking with the better numbers thing?

[STAY STRONG]

in it to win it

[SportsTerminator]

Indiana BARELY loses game 1, and now they're underdogs by 7.5... C'mon sharps... I like Miami as the play! Vegas is in the money making business!

how about "Miami BARELY won game 1 ...." ?

[bubblebuttluv]

Really the only angle I can think of is "the court rust" angle. Remember the Heat have only lost one game this postseason and it was a game 1 after having like a week off. Granted the Pacers are a good bit better IMO then the Bulls team that played in this post-season (an injured, sick, Rose-less Bulls team), but the Heat still beat the Pacers game 1 even if it was by a point at the buzzer. The Heat will never ever ever give you 100% effort, but we already know this. So if the Heat survived their game one against the Pacers after having a week off, I think the Heat will win the second game at home as well.

[Mr Handicapable]

Try again on Jordan

turned 23 during the 85-86 season

He avg. 22.7 ppg, 3.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists, only 16.7% on threes

[JM92]

He was injured for most of the season, played 25 minutes a game. His PER was still 27.5. Seriously dude, don't go that way.I love Paul and I think he will solidify himself as an all star here on out, even if he won't become a top 5 player in the Nba. But do not try and compare him with Michael Jordan. That's just offensive.

[Walulu]

Echo JM92, it's offensive. No comparison.

Same with Gs vs spurs gm1 and 2. Gs won str8 up gm2

[rentongfb]

I have this logic. If the game goes close it will be for Indiana's advantage since they will grow their confidence more and more. They have a decent chance of winning the game if it stays close till the late 4q.
However they are vulnerable to lose momentum when the second units are on the field. They might lose some advantage in 2nd and 3rd quarters which might lead them to lose the game in dd.
so I took two bets; Indy ml and heat -10

[Speedy88]

BigD why do you say everyone on SBR is on Indiana. Just look at this thread, plenty of Miami love.

[hotelis]

for the conspiracy enthuasiasts - if the refs are on it, it should end +7.5 right?

[Pikachu]

Miami heat looked very vulnerable in Chi-Mi game 1, and Nate Robinson looked like the best player on the planet. Look at what happened to the bulls and Nate Robinson in game 2. Not saying the Pacers and Paul are at Bulls and Nate level, but I expected to see DD win by Heat.

Live was down to -2.5

This is what happens when Miamis small unit runs laps around their bigs they get frustrated

[Mr Handicapable]

If you call a Tech foul then call it right away. LeBaby has to argue and talk $H%t for 10 seconds and then they T the other guy...BS
