NBA 2011-2012 Thread - Page 43

Does Indiana have any chance vs Miami? I feel like Roy Hilbert has a huge edge vs the Miami bigs, only problem is he never demands the ball, this guy should be posting up like 20x per game (not gonna happen), there is no one on the heat who can stop him, James and Battier gonna shut down granger, wade gonna shut down paul george, series feels already over

they were 1-3 vs them this year with an overtime loss which had no business going to OT with how big of a lead they had. i think indiana can get 2 wins in this series most of the time so it should be interesting

4-0.

roy hibbert is one of 3 true centers available in the nba, but their best player d.granger isn't truly all-star calibur player and is overrated. he might be SLIGHTLY better than lamar odum, and 0 chance to win with a lamar odum being you best player on your team

4-0? They blew them out this year in Indiana, and last year they won in Miami as well. I can't believe you can callout granger like that too when it's the entire team that contributes to offense and not just granger. Indiana is deeper than Miami and what you have to keep in mind is when it comes to beating Miami it has everything to do with limiting Lebron, but with indiana it's not necessarily just stopping granger when they have multiple options on the offensive end. I would say the coaching slightly favors Indiana but not by much either. 7:1 odds on Indiana winning this series isn't completely outrageous of an idea to bet on

if kobe scores a lot of points tonight and commentators start comparing it to jordan's famous flu game that's going to be the ultimate tilt

cmon denver, u can doooooooooooooo it !

i like this thought but i must be too much of a miami fan because i think (hope?) it's gonna be fast like knicks series.

It won't be a fast series though. A lot of people will say it will be a quick 4-0, b/c the pacers haven't had good results vs the knicks in the regular season in the past two years, and the knicks just got beaten pretty badly by the heat. Transitive property is just the most foolish way to analyze competitive sports and it's still prevalent everywhere. Indiana is deep enough and has solid bigs. Granger, Hibbert, West, all of these guys coupled with all of the guards is enough to give miami a slugfest. Indiana will own the boards this series and I am confident they will also hold home court for at least two games

why do you mention pacers-knicks regular season games last 2 years when knicks have changed alot. Obviously Indiana is deep and with players like george, hill, hansbrough etc are good and decent but at the moment it looks like miami is mentally so ready that the outcome is another quick series.

I wish i was wrong, more awesome games for us viewers.

I think Indiana will do quite well. If Miami is weak, it's because they are too small, compared to Hibbert/West esp. with Bosh playing the 5 sometimes. I guess Lebron will crush Granger, but Wade v Tony Allen (3rd? defensive player oty) is not a terrible matchup, plus Indiana is def deeper. Should be interesting series

Tony Allen doesn't play for Indiana but Memphis.

damn i always mix those memphis and indiana, esp. Granger and Gay

so in the post-game interview of the OKC stomping world peace made reference to having a podcast, plzzz plz plz be true.

world peace was a guest on one of the hip hop stations on sirius radio roughly a year ago. he played one of his tracks lolol

if indiana can't win tomorrow theyre toast

why would anyone but kobe take the last shot, god damn.

totally robbed out of a "BIG" moment

I fucking hate this San Antonio team so much... they are really good, but I hate them collectively and individually, cept Leonard is a boss

lol yes they are boring, but have u seen such a professional, class act?

they are the most deserving team imo, and turly shows how much they can achieve by leaving their ego's at the door and aspiring with such a pure intensity for greatness.

while the rest of the nba are living paycheck to paycheck and doing stupid things the s.a spurs are all writing their own legacies writing history.

random q, when did tim duncan win his first championship?

oh man, bosh out, miami cant score - who woulda thought they needed him so bad

OKC vs SA is gonna be sick!
