:roll: :roll: After all that trash talk and playing every game the first 3 months of the season like it was game 7 of the Finals the Pacers might not even get home court. Meanwhile, the Heat have been coasting all season and begging the Pacers to clinch the number one seed, yet the Pacers just flat out can't do it! Guess it's gonna be 4 straight finals for Bron Bron. :bowdown: :bowdown:

HCA should be the least of Miami's concerns. The team isn't in sync at the moment and not playing their best basketball. Try to get everybody healthy by the end of the month and hope that the role players (Battier, Cole, Allen) hit their shots.

Heat aren't playing well right now, but the Pacers are playing even worse so...:confusedshrug: It will be much easier for the two time defending champs to turn things around than for a young team like Indiana who has no legit superstar.

Furthermore, the East sucks ass........this the lowest the conference has been since the early 2000's.

It's a travesty that Indiana hasn't locked up HCA yet. I mean Miami has literally played like shit all year. It seems like every player on the bench has had career low seasons. LeBron hasn't exactly had an MVP season, Wade has sat a lot of games, and Bosh has been up and down.
Meanwhile, Indiana started 16-1, had the best record in the league for a long time, and it made their #1 goal.
And yet they sit tied in the loss column.

What do you mean? All year they made it their #1 goal to get HCA while Miami has either played like shit or cruised (depending on who you talk to). Everyone said HCA would be the deciding factor. It would definitely be a psychological blow if they lost HCA to this Miami team after the way they started. Indiana has really struggled on the road. It definitely would affect the series.

This. Indiana has been hyped up for the matchup problems they pose, but the biggest threat to Miami is still San Antonio. Considering how Indiana has been playing lately and OKC's slightly underwhelming play, San Antonio is the only team right now who I would definitively favor against Miami in a 7-game series. And the fact that Miami won't have HCA against them should be concerning.

As good as SA is, I wouldn't consider them a shoe in for the Finals. Yes I think SA would definitely be the favorites and beat Miami in the Finals with HCA, but last year was the first time they made the Finals since 2007. I'll worry about them when both teams make it again.

I don't mean that Indiana don't need HCA (Indiana need it to beat Miami), I am talking about the record and acting as if the record is any indication of what will happen between Miami and Indiana in the playoff series, Indiana are a different unit when they play Miami and them slumping is not an indication of what Miami can expect.

Poor wording on my part. I meant the Raptors will be playing the Heat tomorrow on the second night of a back-to-back tomorrow. The Pacers, on the second game of a back-to-back, have to play the Spurs tomorrow. Meaning the Heat are poised and in great position to gain another game on the Pacers tomorrow.

That's where I disagree. Miami can still beat Indiana without HCA. Maybe in the beginning of the season or by All-Star break, I would have said no way, but Indiana's offense is so inconsistent and their PG is so terrible, that I can see Miami stealing a game 7 on their court. Indiana doesn't have enough offense to blow Miami out. The Spurs on the other hands, just no way Miami could win...

I know that, but the difference between the two is that Miami still has veteran experience and star players. Wade and Bosh can go off any given night, and LeBron will be LeBron. Besides George, I can't say Indiana has anyone who can as much. Miami is coming off back to back titles, 3 straight trips to the Finals with a ton of adversity. They know what it takes to win through adversity. Indiana doesn't, at least on their level. Ultimately that will be the biggest difference in the series whether it ends in 5, 6, or 7.

I see your point, but Wades health is key, you aren't giving the Pacers enough credit, David West has veteran leadership and is IMO the key for the Pacers, last years series he was the one tearing Miamis frontcourt up with his mid-range game, its all subjective, this series is going either way.

I never said Miami should win easily or anything. All I'm saying is that Indiana isn't as scary as they seemed earlier and even without HCA, I think Miami is the 2nd most experienced team behind the Spurs (besides maybe the Nets with KG and Pierce). If there is any team that could beat Indiana on the road in a game 7, it's Miami. They know what it takes to win through adversity.

To you and DaSeba: This Year's Spurs Team does look different... and I mean, the 2012 and 2013 Versions were already rock solid.
We know how close the 2013 Version was, 2012? They were killing the Thunder in G6 @ OKC in the WCF, until the Refs stepped in... otherwise they probably make the Finals again..
But in one Finals Series, anything can happen. Especially if Miami's shooters hit their shots, Oden and Beasly greatly contribute and get minutes, while Wade and LeBron go off.. thats what it will need.

Should stick to 2nd seed. Even if Bulls do get 3rd, they have a high chance of getting knocked out by the Wizards. That way, don't have to have a physical series at all still. Even if it's just one of the Bulls or Brooklyn, I don't mind. I still think the standings will stay the way they are.

Guarantee Hill's inability to bring the ball up the court versus press defense, and deer-in-head-lights behavior in clutch situations will cost the Pacers important playoff games again like last year.

I'm in favor of starting CJ because he plays the point better than Hill and he has a more consistent shot it seems...He seems to do a better job of hitting players in the right spots...The team was playing well until CJ went down...Thats a very underrated loss for the team....
I would really like Lance to be the fulltime ball handler and let Hill play off ball where he is more comfortable as a scorer....You can tell that he still doesnt' know when to run the team or when to score..so much so that he'll waste 15 seconds trying to run the set play...He doesnt' know when to break plays and as Jalen Rose said, a great PG has to know when to break the set...But he's not a great PG...he's a combo guard probably more suited to be a 6th man...I like Hill as a player, just not the role he's in...

He's definitely an off guard best suited coming off the bench. I'm not sure whose bright idea it was to try and mold him into a point guard, but it's been a whopping failure.
Good call on starting Watson and letting Stephenson run the offense.

The way the pacers are playing, if they get the #1 seed, they better pray Atlanta makes it.
I know that the Knicks have been shit all year but Amare is gonna do some borderline illegal things to some power forward in playoffs. I feel it.

Would much rather play the Knicks than the Hawks with Millsap and Horford....Amare plays zero defense and he's not running rough shot over David West anytime soon...Now Scola...........

if horford was healthy the hawks would be a top 4 seed in the east and hes not coming back for the playoff sadly or else everyone would want to avoid the hawks

Thats really unfortunate for the Hawks too....Millsap and Horford would give anybody trouble....
Assuming that you had home court advantage anyways vs the Heat, would you rather have the one seed matchups or 2 seed?

Indiana has to have the HCA, so they better get their shit together quickly. I agree that the road to the ECF is tougher for the 1st at the moment, but I have a feeling the Bulls take the Raptors' spot by the end of the regular season.
It's also more likely for Atlanta to hold on to the last spot than lose it to the Knicks, so it'll be a very easy 1st round match-up for the 1st team whereas the 7th-seeded Bobcats might be a tough out with the way Jefferson and Kemba have been playing lately.

If it stays like this? 2nd seed
Feel though Bulls will grab 3rd seed.

Can somebody post the possible matchups among top 8 as it stands right now??
I'm trying to see the Heat play againts the Wizards next week before the playoffs since these two will never faceoff in the playoff I guess:D.

I do too find it kinda funny. I almost feel bad for them though. They have gone all out and the players have even made statements and gone out of their way to back up the claim that they are Miami's rival.
But it seems like in the end, they will lose HCA and lose to Miami again.
And I'm sorry, but giving a team a hard time in the playoffs three years in a row but losing each time does not mean you are their arch rival.. it makes you more like a practice punching bag on that team's way to the Finals :oldlol:
