[PR9]

There was little talk inside the Indiana Pacers' locker room late Saturday about their victory over the Milwaukee Bucks 20 minutes earlier in the Bradley Center.The Pacers had already turned their attention to their next opponent, to whom they felt they had given away a game about two weeks ago in South Florida.Indiana hopes it can finally beat the Miami Heat for the first time in six tries tonight at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

"All we said after the game was that we have to beat Miami; we can't get swept by them," center Roy Hibbert said. "We're definitely thinking about it. It's in the back of our minds that we have to come out stronger than we did the first two times."The Pacers were embarrassed by the Heat in their first two meetings this season, losing by an average of 25 points.But they went to Miami on March 10 and were 90 seconds from beating them -- until the Pacers suddenly looked inexperienced and LeBron James and Dwyane Wade played like two of the league's best players.Dahntay Jones turned the ball over, leading to a dunk for James, then committed a foul as James made the shot and the free throw.

The Heat sent the game into overtime when Danny Granger went to help on a drive to the basket by Wade, leaving James wide open in the corner to make the tying 3-pointer.The Heat won 93-91 on an off-balance jumper by Wade with a tenth of a second left."The first two times we played them, we were tentative; the last time we played them extremely hard," Hibbert said. "So this is our last go-round before we may have to see them in the playoffs."The Pacers, currently the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference, have shown they can beat teams above them in the standings. Miami is the nagging thorn that continues to poke the Pacers.

The Heat, Oklahoma City and San Antonio are the only teams with better records that the Pacers haven't beaten this season. The Pacers have yet to play the Spurs (Saturday) and Thunder (April 6).James has been unstoppable against the Pacers -- and every other team -- this season. He averaged 27.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 3.3 steals in the three games against Indiana."We know we can play with anybody in the league, and we had a couple of efforts that, for whatever reason, we played poor basketball in the first two games against Miami," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "We played to our potential in the third game. And when we play to our potential, we can beat anyone anywhere, and we showed that in that game. We just didn't close the game out."Veteran David West said the Pacers can't go into tonight's game thinking about the previous meeting because the Heat are too good to not be prepared."You have to forget about it," he said. "You can't linger on it.

It's going to take a complete effort, solid game from start to finish. I thought when we were down in Miami, we didn't allow them to go on one of them big runs where they're stopping you and scoring at the same time. It's going to take a rock-solid effort."

Line just moved to Heat -3.5 with people pounding the Heat all day.

They are trying to fool us but we can see right through it.

[Speedy88]

If the Books actually liked MIA, this line would have been at -5 this morning. It's just late money on the Heat right before tip. I got Pacers +3.5 for this game, lets go.

[PR9]

yup, they are throwing the late line move trying to get sharps on the Heat after they were out working their 9-to-5's all day..

why the move so late just 40 minutes prior to tipoff ? The Heat have been pounded all night last night, all morning, and all day. They had many hours to move the line, yet nothing.

Now that the books got that Heat money they are trying to fool the late ones, and trying to fool the few who are on Indy tempting them to hedge some of their bets (that's why they moved it 40 minutes before tipoff allowing you enough time to hedge, and enough time to panic - yet not enough time to really think things through)

sneaky books but your one step ahead

[Gamblin'Machi]

There is no such thing as easy money when betting against the Heat

[GoBlue77]

on it as well my friend.

also LOVE pistons tonight.

[PR9]

And they just moved it to -4 ..

making you more scared (unless someone is out for Indy that I don't know about, that could be the only reason)

[eyesickk]

My book has it at +4

[BernardMadoff]

Indy as unreliable as any team.

[Speedy88]

Got them at +4.5 and +3.5.

[PR9]

Indy as unreliable as any team.

My bets have already been placed.

Dont forget about in-game bets boys. Nothing is final if things don't look too sweet at certain points early on . Most of my bets lately have been in-game after tipoff.

[GoBlue77]

HUGE night for me!!!!

pacers and pistons baby!!!

why would anyone take the heat after what pr9 posted about the pacers wanting this game SOO bad. seriously...
