Bull$hit...just def breakdown handed it to him. I'm here in Indy...they are going to be ALL OVER VOGEL!!
Why take Hibbert out? The possession b4 Miami was confused...take Hibbert out and Lebron immediately drives in for a layup. That the bad one cause 45 sec left or something...no need to take him out. 2.2 seconds maybe cause you trap Lebron and make him shoot a bad 3 or pass it.Comment -
Indy fk'd up and prob wont recover but anyone with half a brain knows any "greatest team ever talk" bull$%8t with the HEat is completely stupid. They're good but nothing special to any other year
Take that back...Hibbert was taken out with 10 sec. left in regulation...99-99...thats when LeBron walked in the first time. Makes no senseComment -
I doubt it... I never thought I'd say it but Spoelstra is head and shoulders above Vogel. That guy is a very poor coach.
Spo made several adjustments tonight that were special. Even on the last play to end the half, Spo drew up a play to get Ray Allen a good look at the rim. It was smart. Vogel hanging on to that clipboard looks like he just got off the retard bus.

James saved WadeComment -
vogel was dumb as fukk. you make the 3 point shooters beat you with 2 seconds left on the clock. it was such an easy read on the play when he spread 3 guys to the corners. laughable shit right there. indy should have won.Comment -
that was an amazing gameComment -
Im gonna have nightmares of that penetrating layup tonight. Vogel is most definitely a dumb fukk.Comment -
I disagree....Vogel is pretty good but I don't understand tonite w/Hibbert? 10 sec left..he pulls HIbbert and of course Lebron walks right in. Overall though...Vogel CRUSHED Mike Woodson last series...Woodson couldn't even figure out Jason Kidd is done. That is poor but VOgel helped blow the game tonite for sureComment -
They continue to beat teams at their own game, even with that prayer falling away luck 3 by Paul George and that non call and 1 for lebron, then the bogus 3 call on wade, the Pacers played almost perfect, and the Heat still managed to win this game.
And since you mentioned them not being special compared to any other year...
Miami went 66-16 this year in the regular season.
The Heat won 27 straight this year and are 48-4 in their last 52 games.
but yeah you're right, nothing to see here.Comment -
I get why Hibbert isnt in w/2.2 left....you're supposed to trap the ball and Lebron either shoots a tough 3 or passes to someone for an outside shot....Hibbert isnt going to help there.
I think it was West that fk'd up...he went behind James to get to Battier the inbounder but fk that...double James and give Battier the 25 fterComment -
You put Hibbert in the middle of the key and have him block anything/anyone that drives to the hole. If Bosh gets open for a 3, so be it. You live with that. You don't live with Lebron getting 2 straight layups. If Hibbert was in there, Lebron would not have driven to the hole. Having Hibbert in there at least puts it in guys head that he's going to block you at the rim... Vogel was very poor tonight.

Guess you're a kid and dont remember how great the NBA used to be. Boston/LA would have 6-7 HOFers on the court....122-118 kind of games. Bird would shoot 50%, 90% fts, 40% 3s, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists. Hell LeBron bricked both fts this game...Bird prob do that once a year maybe
Jordan put up 63 on one of those great Boston teams in the playoffs...they still won easy.
Birds Celts, Magics Lakers, or Jordans Bulls
CRUSH THESE CLOWNS 4-0 or 4-1 easyComment -
how did Norris not recover the ball on that scamble to the ground lol. was he following the script & MIA
wasn't suppose to cover 2nd H?Comment -
Obviously he's good to be coaching in the league and getting to the ECF but he showed some flaws tonight probably from inexperience. Another mistake he made in the 2nd to last possession was calling a timeout allowing Miami to get Allen out of the game on defense. I also thought he blew it last year when they clearly had Miami on their heels. He doesn't make enough in game adjustments for my taste. Spo is becoming a great 2nd half in game coach. He sees what the opposing team is doing and finds ways of taking it away. I really thought he was overrated but he's really impressed me the last 2 years.

I dont get the Hibbert take out either but how many teams this year have stayed together and came back when Miami uses all that speed on defense and makes a run. Miami went from down 5 at half to up 5 immediately...Hill couldn't handle the ball. Most teams are down 15 right after that..game over. Another thing about Indy...only West is over 27 years old...still very young team. This might not be their year but it could be soon. George always waits til the 4th to take over too....when he grows up and realizes he is a top 5 NBA talent (6'10", fast w/court vision, and can compete in dunk or 3 pt contest) then this team will really take off.Comment -
well if you think about it it was a GREAT setup play by spolstra cause even if george defends him well and let him get by him the worst shot he gets there is from the free throw line.Comment -
I honestly don't think Hibbert in there would have made a difference. LeBron still gets to the rim off the initial play, and he is not missing with full steam ahead. Only difference I think is it might be an and 1Comment -
Pacers proved they can keep up with the Heat. It's going to be an amazing series.Comment
