lol. this series is over. Wtf just happened? A layup?

Miami is gonna win but this series will be a battle. No doubt.

Frank Vogel is crazy stupid for not playing Hibbert on defense.

If only Indiana had a 7 footer on the bench

I don't want to see a battle. I want to see the Heat lose. Pacers get over 70 points from West/Hibbert/George and still lose. Heat hadn't played in a week. This is the game the underdog has to get to have any chance.

He almost should get fired for that, so dumb.

Even with Hibbert on the bench, that was just awful by Indiana. Gotta make Lebron shoot that off balance. Ridiculous. Play off him a bit even.

 

Only saw the 2nd half and beyond but they have to be able to do quick reviews on disputed out of bounds calls. There were 3 I saw that went to the Heat that should have went to the Pacers. This is the playoffs. Especially in a close game.

There are 2.2 seconds left. You have to run a double team at him. Hell use the inbounds defender to run at him to try to keep him from catching the ball first, but then immediately double teaming. All you have to do is kill 2.2 seconds. Embarrassingly bad.

Exactly - no reason not to double team him - Wade was out for Christ's sake.

Can't let Norris Cole beat you!

And at the end of the day, if he can get a pass of to one of their shooters, and they beat you... Fine. But you HAVE to throw everything at LeBron.

Yep...and the worst possible scenario for Indy happened, they gave up an uncontested layup to the best finisher in basketball, SMH.

Why did they not go into a zone defense in that situation? Guard the hoop.

Mavs are shopping the #13 and trying to clear cap space.

 

Rip + $1M (Buyout) + Teague for #13 and Vince Carter?

 

As long as the Mavs made the pick for the Bulls then made the trade after (Similar to the Bulls "drafting" Kevin Seraphin), it would be legal.

 

Try to walk away with something like Shabazz and Dieng in the first round and a rookie PG in the 2nd. I know I'm a Mizzou student but I feel Flip Pressey would be a good pick as he can get to the rim, distribute the ball, and defend with his big downsides being he is short and can't shoot for s*** (though still probably better than Teague).

 

Roll with this:

 

PG: Rose/Hinrich/Pressey

SG: Butler/Carter

SF: Deng/Shabazz

PF: Boozer/Taj/Thomas

C : Noah/Dieng/Nazr

All I can think of is that someone missed an assignment. No coach made that play call.

A coach did decide he wanted Tyler Hansbrough on the court in a defensive situation instead of Roy Hibbert.

How much does Vinsanity have left on his deal?

I doubt Vince has the mindset to fit into Thibs system. Pass.

Pressey supposedly looked really bad at a workout yesterday. As for Shabazz, I'd rather have Caldwell-Pope. Shabazz reminds me so much of Xavier Henry.

I took that Mavericks' post as code for "we'll give you #13 for your pick in a draft that we don't hate".

I like Caldwell-Pope, I hope he falls to the Bulls.

I really wanted Hardaway to fall to the Bulls but his stock is rapidly rising.

I see a hybrid of Nick Young and Xavier Henry. A wing who can score, but provides nothing else.

 

It's very disappointing that just 3 years ago, this guy was going to be the next Kobe, killer instinct and winning attitude and all. Now he probably won't even be a starter in the league.

Maybe he will still, but it's a matter of being in the right situation. He is honestly the guy that, as a very inexperienced fan, intrigues me the most. I could see him becoming a big time scoring threat, a backup type who eventually falls to 11th or 12th man territory, or he could fall completely out of the league.
