Postgame thread: Miami

It could have been far, far worse.

All in all, a respectable effort.

Such a disappointing game to lose. Would have been a huge W for us.

Re: Postgame thread: Miami

I love this team. Bench came in and dominated their's. Did you guys see that pass from Paul George to Tyler Hansbrough in transition for the monster dunk? How about the buzzer-beating jumper by Hansbrough followed by him yelling at the crowd and giving Roy Hibbert the best chest bump he could handle?

Better yet, when Roy Hibbert stood up to Erick Dampier. Blood, guts, and heart.

We didn't come out with the win, but I now feel like we can take anyone on and beat anyone on any given night. Coach Vogel has given our guys ridiculous confidence and it's going to show up in the post season. We are going to make the Playoffs.

Next year the Murph/Dunleavy era/curse will be over, we'll have a new draft pick, and Roy and Paul George are going to be improved. I can see the light!

Re: Postgame thread: Miami

I clearly thought it was over after the first quarter, but like the true fan i am, i stayed glued to the TV and watched them erase that lead. I hope they can take it out on Detroit

Re: Postgame thread: Miami

Pacers looked very tired in the fourth quarter. I think the comeback took a lot out of them. The emotional frenzy just wasn't there. In the 4th the Heat were able to get the game into a halfcourt game.

But it was a real NBA game tonight, something the Pacers really haven't played in for sometime - several years

[Really?]

Re: Postgame thread: Miami

what happened to collison, i didnt get to see the game but from the statline it looked like he as off?

Re: Postgame thread: Miami

One thing I don't understand is why many of you hate certain players. I've never felt that way. I mean i want to beat them, but never hate

Re: Postgame thread: Miami

Despite the loss, this is the proudest I've been of this team in years. They responded like absolute warriors after that awful first quarter. You've gotta love the passion this team played with tonight. Oh, and this Frank Vogel guy can ****ing coach.

Re: Postgame thread: Miami

Time to start Paul George.

Re: Postgame thread: Miami

Don't know if any one else saw the NBATV post game interview with LeBron James...but he pretty much said the Pacers come back had nothing to do with the Pacers effort but the Heat letting up due to relaxing after such a big quarter.

I don't often see people whining about "crab dribble" traveling and what they consider uncalled fouls when they are relaxed, but whatever...maybe they're just big into the whole whining thing.

[Really?]

Re: Postgame thread: Miami

one thing I did like from the small amount of the game that I saw was the crowd...

Man that brought back the days of the old Pacers when the place used to be packed... I really hope that we make the playoffs this year... I have forgot how the feeling at a Pacers game could be until tonight...

Beautiful

To me, he just looked nervous.

I'm thinking it might have been the biggest game of his career, so far. And he just didn't deliver. The jitters got the best of him.

He missed badly, something he rarely does. He failed to finish on drives, and as that developed he started forcing things which just made it worse.

Hopefully, he'll snap right back.

Re: Postgame thread: Miami

We fought hard and made it a great game to watch for the sold out crowd.

It gave them the impression of how dangerous this team is and that we're a good team again that's heading to the playoffs.

I have a feeling we're going to see a lot more energized home crowds going forward.

From how it sounded, there were way more Pacers fans.
