GT: 2024 HUGE Playoff Implications: 44-34 Pacers vs. 43-34 Heat for 6th Seed

[ArbitraryWater]

Whoever wins goes a game up and the tiebreaker and will pretty much have the 6th seed locked up with a chance to go higher. Loser is stuck in 7th seed play-in with Philly.

[ArbitraryWater]

3 hours to tip off

[ArbitraryWater]

Heat down 9, 3 mins left first quarter

[Nowoco]

Anyone watching Rockets-Mavs? Gonna be a close finish.

I have no idea what I want at this point.

Mavs win and theyre close to the 4th seed as the Clips are losing.

But if they lose, theyre very close to being the 6th seed, which is even better than the 4th actually.

[Nowoco]

Omg what a shot from Dante Exum.

[ArbitraryWater]

Mavs are stupid.

They do not want this game.

They should 100% lose this.

You spoke waaay too soon. :lol

[ArbitraryWater]

You spoke waaay too soon. :lol

What do you mean?


I want them to lose this and they arent.

Theyre idiots.

[ArbitraryWater]

Heat cut it to 12, then swiftly got caught by b2b 3s from Siakam and Turner... ouch.

[tpols]

What do you mean?

You're an IDIOT.

Mavs aren't bowing down to anybody. No throwing games.

Thats cool and all but thats just stupid when you can practically decide between playing the Clips or OKC first round.

[ArbitraryWater]

Heat cut it to 11, 6 minutes left 3rd quarter.

[ArbitraryWater]

9 point game with 5 mins left in the 3rd, Butler sitting on 21, he knows this is big.

[RRR3]

Absolutely need to win this. Rozier needs to hit his shots man. He’s been better lately tho

There are still games left. Denver could very possibly slip to 3rd by the time it’s over, and if the Mavs had lost theyd only be a game away from the play in themselves, which puts the post season in jeopardy altogether.

It’s just not a risk you take in this position. They dont need to run from the Clippers.

Dude look at the schedules.


I looked at all of this.

Its very clear Denver will be first.

They have a home game coming up against the Tims.

Clips is gonna be another uphill battle. OKC or Tims would be right up their alley.

[ArbitraryWater]

Not a good close to the quarter for Miami.


Down 13 entering the 4th, biggest quarter of their season.

Yup.

Playing scared at this point makes no sense.

[ArbitraryWater]

Heat cut it to 10 again, but I think thats too much against the Pacers on their floor.

7 now with 5:19 left.

[ArbitraryWater]

Heat down 4 have the ball! Timeout


Pacers throwing up 3s every trip down, hideous, hope they lose

[ArbitraryWater]

Pacers bullshitting themselves to a W on that weak ass call


Refs need to stop deciding games

[ArbitraryWater]

Pacers should foul here but I really wanna see the Heat get a 3 off, and then ideally OT

[RRR3]

What a horrible way to lose. **** this team sometimes

[ArbitraryWater]

Turner went in the same time as love did, can refs just stay out of it in these moments?

Just once?

But it was a dumb inbound/play to begin with. Herro should have chucked it up knowing he will get fouled.

[beasted]

NBA admitted refs failure on 2 critical calls down the stretch.
