[...] Tonight, in the Fieldhouse, the Indiana Pacers face elimination at the hands of the Miami Heat. Just a few days ago, the Pacers were perfectly positioned to take control of the series, and really, move onto the Eastern Conference Finals. On a day where nothing short of greatness from LeBron James and Dwayne Wade could change the direction of their season, the Miami duo delivered. Two days later in Miami, the Heat rolled, and the Pacers basically rolled over. [...]

What is the difference between this being a fan blog or school? You are unintelligent and come off dumb. Even all your points are way off. Did you ever attend school? Did you ever play basketball?

@dwain
Two things, Granger will not be shooting lay ups on lebron, especially not while limping. West = sprained knee, not ankle. Do you even know what the work grammer means? Wow, learn how to write.

You might be one of the dumbest people i know. Go Pacers!

u know things always seem bleakest before the dawn, and the suns coming up over BankersLife Fieldhouse next. Pacers blew game 5 we had some of everything, trying too hard, deer in the headlights, brutality by the zebras and the Heat, injury and a stinkin game plan. is it time to lay down and die? HELL NO!!! i can easily see the Pacers takin game 6 and throwing it bac to Miami where anything can happen in game 7. it has been a long fun ride this year and if we get beat we get beat, if the refs beat us then the whole country will see that for what it is and more people will drop pro ball forever…because there is really no point in watching if it is all fixed…
the Pacers need to get back to fundemental basketball, the stuff that got them where they are, rebounding, good solid passing and run some real plays. Hell if Danny is hurting he can still limp to the basket for a layup(if someone can pull their head out their azz long enough to pass it to him), his 3 point shooting hasn’t exactly been stellar of late anyway. David West having a great game is critical, if his ankle is really hurt we may be screwed. Paul George and Roy and Hill need to step up and have career games…peeps this is a learning experience for these young guys, they are feeling their way through what a second round series can be like, what being pushed to the brink is all about. i see them learning all the way through this and i still think they can win it. Miami is full of themselves, the punished this team and they think our guys are going to curl up and die in game 6, time to see what Miami is really made of, to show them for the pusses that they really are and Indy is just the team to deliver that blow(figuratively speaking). i don’t wanna see thug ball out there from our guys, we are better than that and i seriously don’t think the Pacers have played dirty up to this point, Miami has and the country has seen it for what it is and those sorts of things have a way of working themselves out in a fairly called series…GO PACERS!!!

They have been soft, we aren’t who got us here and smash mouth is dead unless its Tyler accidentally killing a guy time to time. We can’t do anything on them down low despite no Bosh while they are running a lay up drill on us. Worst thing to happen to us was Foster not being around the team, Lou had some good dunks and a few nice blocks but he isn’t Jeff Foster and this team needs a Jeff Foster for toughness, more leadership and a guy who will make the smartest play 99% of the time.

[...] Bird said we went soft- Maybe he is trying to rally us for Game 6, but the comment is kind of vague… [...]
