No comments on this thread for tonights game? I guess Hibbert's shitty play was the main thing keeping things alive in here.

[Andrew]

Maybe so. It's probably not the most exciting matchup of the remaining series for most people, so without the Hibbert jokes, there's probably not much to say at this point except to expect Heat/Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Andrew, I'm honestly not kissing your ass here but I have to respect how you carry yourself as an admin/owner of the site. I have been on other forums/blogs where the admins are condescending and constantly try to broadcast their superiority without any provocation. We all know that people like that are actually insecure but you don't feel the need to do that.

Maybe Hibbert's tryin to silence the "critics"

Years of experience. Appreciate it!

He hasn't done too bad a job of that in the past couple of games.

Andrew, I'm disappointed in you, son. You completely ignored the fact that I gave you an all exclusive training on how to run a forum smoothly while remaining humble doing so.

Agreeable. At least It carries some truth. LoLz


The Pacers are just a better team. I particularly didn't like how Wall disappeared like LBJ against the Mavericks in the past. Especially in the fourth, in crunch time, he was absolutely non existent even though ball always went through him. Hope this experience improves him as a player.

Just waiting for this serires to be over because the conclusion is already known after what the Pacers did in game 3.

[Kevin]

Pacers gonna finish the series tomorrow

Pacers gonna finish the series tomorrow

That is the dream.

[Kevin]

Guess Wizards still wants to play

[Andrew]

Embarrassing effort for the Pacers. Hibbert's regressed to the poor form he was showing earlier on, no one's doing a whole lot except George and West. Meanwhile, huge game from Gortat.

[Kevin]

Indiana is just so depressing to watch when Hibbert and the other guys dont produce and its just always George

[NovU]

LoL @ the surprising outcome.

The Pacers weren't really that spectacular playoffs team in last couple seasons either (in exception of Heat series). But I thought they'd be better this year with #1 seed. The series is still the Pacers' to lose tho.

It seems like Pacers trying to make the Wizards "outlose" the series.

[[Q]]

The wizards have had the upper hand for most of the series. They blew a huge lead and wall couldn't see in the game before that and the wizards lost a very close game 2. I would be surprised if this doesn't go 7 games

I have to agree. First thing that comes to my mind when thinking about Paul George is "inconsitency". He's not even close to be anything like LeBron. Even when having an off night LBJ's stats look way better.
I hope the Pacers can bounce back but I think they have no chances beating the Heat in a 7 game series. Even if they somehow could work the wonder of beating Miami, they wouldn't win a finals series against any remaining teams inthe West..

[NovU]

Kinda agreed with you guys but I think the Pacers are good enough to beat the regressed Heat with homecourt advantage. The Heat are underwhelming this season with LBJ running the show lonely but the Pacers regardless their problems, improved over last two seasons. Their chance against the Heat this season is as good as any other years we saw.

But I don't like the Pacers' chance against the Spurs neither the Thunder if it ever comes to that. Kawhi is a monster himself and matches up well against Paul George. Durant is 10x better than George. Hibbert can't do much against their bigs either. I think the Pacers will get smothered by Western teams.

[Kevin]

I think they'll even put Adams vs Hibbert if Thunder vs Pacers came true

[johnwest1985]

Pacers playing good D !! seem to get it together... is it in time ??

man that Washington crowd sucks... so strange to see the contrast in atmosphere in arenas.. the crowd should support this team that sursprised the country... or ?!?

[NovU]

Crowd sucks but it's the team that make them so. I hate this Wizards at the moment. It's the same bad Wizards from game 3. No energy, no rotation, poor shot selection, no ball movement, mental collapse everywhere. This nine point deficit feels like twenty down.

EDIT: Well... it's over. It's MIA vs IND for the ECF. Lamrock around to make the thread?

[Kevin]

Congratulations to Indiana and David West. What a game for him

[Andrew]

Indiana prevails once again after a scare early on in the series, but they better be ready if they want to have any chance in the Conference Finals. The door is going to be left open to turn things around against teams like the Hawks and Wizards; those opportunities won't be there against the Heat. Earlier on in the season, I'd be more inclined to pick them to dethrone Miami, but as it stands, I'm not sure they're in the right shape to do it.

Meanwhile, congrats to the Wizards on their best season in years. They might have a promising future, if everyone stays healthy, Beal continues to develop and Wall continues to play at an All-Star level.

[johnwest1985]

also excited about Beal...
