What happened to you indiana?

You were such a good and respected poster, but now that the Pacers are in the playoffs you have  turned into a immature, irrational, baby.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Lol at the NBA refs. Already the Pacers have gotten calls and gotten away with contact that they didn’t get away with the whole game in Miami.

I like the way the Pacers have came out though. West already making shots that he missed in the first quarter of the last game.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Personally, I agree with Nbanflguy.  I guess Indiana is just passionate about his team.  Hell, when Scola was stomped by Love, I damn near wanted Love to be suspended for 20 games! lol

[NbanflguyParticipant]

The nba is not a conspiracy. It is the Heat vs Pacers, not the Heat & Refs vs the Pacers.

[NbanflguyParticipant]

Hell, when Scola was stomped by Love, I damn near wanted Love to be suspended for 20 games! lol

ha and I didnt want Love to be suspended. We are all biased to our own teams, but that doesnt mean we have to complain about every little thing that doesnt go our way.

[Wavy BagelsParticipant]

The Pacers still have a chance to win the series, but they REALLY needed to win Game 4. They had Miami in a corner and they should’ve kept them there.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Huh?

Did you see the foul they called on Turiaf against Hibbert? That wasn’t called last game. And the contact Wade took on the layup and no call… Wade would’ve been shooting free-throws last game.

I don’t know if you’re upset and trying to take up for your buddy, but this is a new thread… New day.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Y2G

Yeah, I remember that "you flop, I stomp" saying lmao.  I actually agreed with it even though it was towards Scola.  I HATE floppers.

[HaleParticipant]

Funny example you used. Nbanflguy is a Wolves fan and made his famous "you flop, I stomp" statement from that exact play.

[Wavy BagelsParticipant]

Where’s the popcorn? I smell an ol’ fashioned debate brewin’.

[HitsterParticipant]

In any sport the home team often seems to get decisions in their favour.

Given as this is the Pacers biggest game for about 7 years, we could cut Indyball a bit of slack.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Wtf are you talking about?

So when anybody else complains about the refs, it’s no big deal. But when I call out a few inconsistencies towards both teams, I’m being immature, irrational and a baby?

I really just think you’re upset Y2G’s feelings seemed to get hurt the other day because there’s a lot more immaturity, ignorness and foolishness going on on this site besides me rooting for the Pacers during a damn thread. Smh…

[Wavy BagelsParticipant]

I kinda like the new Indy. He’s sorta like Peter Parker when he discovered the symboite and became the Venom-Spider Man. It’s a cool transition, bro. Embrace it.

[HaleParticipant]

Woah woah woah, my feelings were not hurt. To be perfectly honest I wasn’t in the best mood and just felt like calling someone out.

[NbanflguyParticipant]

I kinda like the new Indy. He’s sorta like Peter Parker when he discovered the symboite and became the Venom-Spider Man. It’s a cool transition, bro. Embrace it.

You dont embrace it. You get to the nearest church/bell tower and you rip that sh*t off before it consumes you.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

To be perfectly honest I wasn’t in the best mood and just felt like calling someone out.

And I’m the baby?

[HaleParticipant]

I never said you were one.

[Wavy BagelsParticipant]

Pacers’ 2nd unit is turning the ball over at a high rate, causing Miami to score.

[Wavy BagelsParticipant]

You dont embrace it. You get to the nearest church/bell tower and you rip that sh*t off before it consumes you.

 

Ooooohh. thems fightin’ woids.

[HaleParticipant]

The debate happened yesterday. At the end of the day we’re still going to disagree, so really no point in going back to it. 

[HitsterParticipant]

It’s maybe the shock of the first winning season for a few years and the thought that they could be very close to making the NBA Finals.

Whoever comes through the Miami-Pacers series must feel they will have a good chance against either Boston or Philly and for teams like the Pacers and Philly then the shots at NBA Finals maybe only come once during a team’s successful cycle.

Also if Spurs and Thunder have a hard series then the Eastern Conference winner could well have a good shot at the overall title.

 

[del90Participant]

Time to trade Chris Bosh lol

http://rand0mlyhiph0p.bandcamp.com

[Wavy BagelsParticipant]

Ight, but back to the game.As deep as Indiana is, the 2nd unit at times has a hard time playing efficiently, more specifically, they turn the ball over. And against a team like Miami, you just can’t afford to. They need to address this matter.

[NbanflguyParticipant]

Ooooohh. thems fightin’ woids.

No I am just looking out for him.

I dont what him to turn into this:

[delfamParticipant]

 WALK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KayjayParticipant]

Ref: "But it looks so pretty"

That was most def a walk. 

[Wavy BagelsParticipant]

Mike Miller is on fire. This is scary.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Lmao I guess. It’s whatever.

I think there’s a lot of sensitivity going on on this site lately. Since I’ve joined this site, I’ve talked straight ball and always posted exactly what I think. It will continue. IF you don’t like it, just hit thumbs down.

 

 

[NiceWithTheRockParticipant]

Paul George is playing scared. He was responsible for 3 TO already for not  being aggressive with the ball. He should assert himself more when he gets his chance to make something happen.

[Malik-UniversalParticipant]

would i get negged if i said i felt hibbert is kinda overrated

[For_Never_EverParticipant]

 Hahaha, The crowd was chanting he’s a flopper. 

[KayjayParticipant]

could get out of control for Indiana real soon. They shot 59%, and Miami is not only still in the game, Lebron hasn’t even really got going yet. 

[raybeasParticipant]

his vagina falling out of bounds after blowing that layup.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Big third quarter coming up for both teams. The team that has won the third quarter in all games has won the game.

[For_Never_EverParticipant]

 Lebron missed the shot and was embarrassed. Then decided I’m going to pretend I broke my leg, no way I would just miss. LBJ is a little child.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

The Pacers aren’t playing good basketball.

The lack of a great ball handler, passer and decision maker hurts this team.

[NiceWithTheRockParticipant]

Why does there always have to be some ulterior motive when LBJ and Wade do anything? Maybe Lebron was actually shaken from falling after running and jumping at full speed… sheesh

[KayjayParticipant]

Some of yall need to find more things to fill out your day. People get shaken up on plays, why clown him? You act as if he raped somebody. 

[For_Never_EverParticipant]

 Then there are people that will back them no matter what. The whole half time show team also all said and thought he faked it too.

[NiceWithTheRockParticipant]

Oh, the halftime crew said he faked it? They know everything so it must be true right?

[Raef LaFrentzParticipant]

^And everything you see on TV is the truth.

[For_Never_EverParticipant]

Do you seriously want me to answer you ? Whatever I say will be wrong if I’m not being a fanboy.

[llperez]

damn, miami owned that third quarter. Pacers got to leave it all out there in the 4th

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

As I’ve said before, when Haslem, Miller, Jones, Chalmers, and Battier are knocking down their jumpshots, they’re unbeatable.

Miller and Chalmers are a combined 8-9 from downtown.

[Raef LaFrentzParticipant]

True. But Indiana is playing well when they don’t turn it over.. They need a big fourth to pull this one off.

[For_Never_EverParticipant]

 I wrote the crowd is chanting flopper. I got negged twice. So was the tv lying or did you two take offense to that ?

[Malik-UniversalParticipant]

 ^it happens to everyone man

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

LMFAO at Vogul getting upset because LeBron talks a bit of trash.  Vogul called out the entire Heat team and Granger has had the whole fake tough-guy image yet Vogul wants LeBron to get a tech for a quick word.

 Sad…

[NiceWithTheRockParticipant]

You wrote that Lebron faked being hurt because he was  embarassed. I already let it go and I didn’t neg you. What does "is the tv lying mean"? just because you saw it on tv doesn’t make it true.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

I LOVED that trap on D. Wade.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Pretty clear foul there.  I really hope Indiana comes back, I love seeing a good ol’ fight to the death.

[KayjayParticipant]

Play smart, they can win this game. You can beat Miami with good passing to outside shooters. Miami does not close out on shooters all that well. 

[llperez]

why is lebron yelling at battier on that play? Hes telling battier to be in the corner, but shane was wide open at the perfect angle and james just threw it out of bounds and acted like it was shanes fault.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Getting a true point guard should be the #1 priority for the Pacers this summer.

 

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Is David West the only Pacer out there that doesn’t want to lose?

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Yea, David West is the only guy who’s playing with a sense of urgency.

[Charlie SheenParticipant]

Indiana had this they made too many crucial mistakes at the wrong time 

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Only a few players can make a play like that.  A select few.

[llperez]

hill and collison are solid at pg. But the pacers are playing two superstars in wade and lebron and there best players are granger and west. Its gonna be hard to win it all without a great talent to lead the way.

[Raef LaFrentzParticipant]

It ain’t over yet..

[NiceWithTheRockParticipant]

Indy is fighting hard, you gotta love it. Way too many turnovers though.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

LeBron James, Derrick Rose… Who else? Maybe Russell Westbrook.

[KayjayParticipant]

Like I said, Miami does not close out on shooters. Btw that was a no-call when Wade was clearly hit. I’m js the calls are going both ways it looks like. 

[For_Never_EverParticipant]

The turnover’s killed them over 20 in a single game.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

IndianaBasketball

Those were actually the only three players I had in mind lmao

[KayjayParticipant]

On the other hand, I’m pretty sure we’ll have a selective memory of when Lebron scored here in the 4th to keep the Pacers at bay.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Credit the Heat’s defense, but the Pacers have handled the ball just terrible. Sloppy ball handling and passing.

I agree with you Llperez. When you have a superstar that can get his own offense in isolations… That’s just tough to beat.

That’s why I think the Pacers need a superstar at the point. Too bad Deron Williams is considering the Pacers.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Never did I think the Pacers would be able to hang against the Heat.  Not at all, I saw this being a 5 game series with the Heat thoroughly dominating their wins.  

This series really said a lot about both teams.  The resiliency of the Miami Heat and the ability to play short-handed and beat very good and deep teams even while down.

The Pacers proved to everyone that they were a force to be wreckened with.  The league is going to have to be aware of how good this Pacer team is next season.

 

[For_Never_EverParticipant]

The Pacer should go for Rondo. The Celtics have been shopping him and will continue to do so after the season.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

LeBron got some good buckets in the 4th, but let’s be real here… D. Wade was phenomenal. He was tonight what LeBron was in game four… Even better from just a offensive/scoring standpoint.

[B-ball fanParticipant]

 Pacers’ fans were classy.  "Thank you Pacers" was a good way to close an impressive season, even if they did fall short.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

I like what the Pacers have going forward.

Bird has a big decision to make on Roy Hibbert this summer. How much money will he command? He’s not worth big money to me.

I also think it’s time to move Danny Granger. Paul George needs to work on his mid-range game and his passing/ball handling, but I think it’s time to move him to his natural position.

The Pacers battled the Bulls last year and pushed the Heat this year, yes without Chris Bosh, but still… Good experience.

[TheDagger40Participant]

Really impressed by D Wade’s phenomenal performance tonight. The best part about it was him not crying for fouls or anything, all of it was just him balling. Gosh those floaters a gorgeous.

[HitsterParticipant]

If anyone of us had said the Pacers would be 3rd seeds out West and make Conference Semis at the start of the season, they may have been laughed off the board. But when losing to the Heat is almost seen as a disappointment it shows how far the Pacers have come. This was with their main off season signing David West averaging well below career numbers.

Don’t forget that in the last 3 games, Leron went for 98 points and D-Wade for 99 points so any team would struggle to have won a game against them in that form.

I was interested to see Indyball suggesting that the roster could be changed, personally I apart from maybe looking for a PG upgrade, I cannot really see how the Pacers could upgrade the good team they already have. Especially after seeral years of rebuilding they have got back into contention so would want to stay there and with David West only having another year on his deal then any future moves may revolve around him.

Roy Hibbert’s deal will be innteresting to follow, I’d be looking at what say Maark Gasol got last year $57 million over 4 years as a good ballpark figure but someone might of course offer him a larger deal which the Pacers then have to consider whether to match. Also could he maybe look for the one 5 year deal that the Pacers could offer but they may want to hold that back for the future maybe Paul George.

 

 

 

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

@Hitster

 

I really like the current roster, but if it takes moving Danny Granger to bring back a stud at point guard… I’m all for it. I’d even be open to moving Danny Granger to bring back a stud shooting guard who can create his own offense off of the dribble.

 

I think it was Jon Barry who said it… The Pacers will never beat the Heat without a star caliber type of player.

 

But like I said… The Pacers had a good season and I really like what they have going forward. I was one of those fans who stuck with the team even during all of the bad years and it feels good to finally see the team rellevant again.
