good call on the Pacers +7.5 in game 2, I made about 3grand off of that one
but no tip for game 3? “consider” the Pacers? seems like a safe way of saying you’re not sure. Take the under? i think both teams are way overdue for some good shooting, i think it will be over by a wide margin.

If Lin and Rubio hadn’t gone down with injuries this season I may have gotten fired from my job!

When a player plays that many minutes all season long to keep his team good because they are complete garbage when not on the floor.

On the other hand the Pacers had ONE player average over 30 minutes this season (granger). Are boys are fresh and sticking with my original pick of Pacers in 6.

@poot – I hope you had league pass or something because you wouldn’t have gotten to see the Pacers play too often if not

Thu, 17 May 2012 14:24:54 +0000 http://www.eightpointsnineseconds.com/?p=13823#comment-13390 I think fatigue matters a lot. The margins are so slim in the league in general and in the playoff particularly, that a little fatigue can make the difference between human play and superhuman. D-Wade missed a late layup in game 2. That might have been fatigue at play. Also, I think Vogel is back-handedly pointing out not that LBJ and D-Wade could play forever but that they will have to play forever in order to win out. Late in the season when the Rose-less Bulls were humiliating the Heat in OT, I recall Sir Charles declaring that LBJ and D-Wade were tired. They have to carry that team day-in and day-out. The Pacers have to capitalize more when one of the big two is sitting. That’s what will get them back up and on the floor.

The combination of a shortened regular season, the extra burden of guarding people equally or stronger than you, and playing nearly every minute equals late game fatigue, which equals shaky free throws and short jumpers…but that would never happen to Lebron….oh wait. That is not a slam on Lebron, but it is a slam on Spoelstra. Wade and Lebron can beat the Pacers, but I do not know if they can do it 3 out of the next 5 games. First meaningless prediction: Pacers in six.

The list includes Nuggets, Spurs, Twolves (prior to Rubio injury,) Pacers, Thunder, Grizzlies, NY (with Lin,) Utah. People are shocked to hear Lakers (Kobe, championships) and Clippers (Cp3, Blake) are not on the list. teams like Miami at the bottom. like first their is a big space on the list. then Miami. everything i need to see from their games will be on sportscenter (anything that is not is truly painful to watch.)
I like teams that play good team basketball. Where the effort of one player inspires the others. Where there is true desire, intensity, yet balance and execution of strategy. As the year has gone on, Pacers have become my favorite because they have stuck with their identity and are winning. Well Spurs are good too, and OKC, but they are both loaded with studs.

Very fun to check this site and get some good reading in. Liked this article, especially liked the other article about defending the perimeter 3 ball and nullifying the role players. Hope you make it out to the hoosier state to see this stuff in person before the series is over.
