Re: Pacers/Heat Postgame Thread 2/1/13

I think this team was built to go up against Miami. They've been the target the whole time.

In other news, at some point we've got to be in Miami's heads, right? Has this already happened?

We're absolutely in their heads. According to Grady's twitter Wade and Lebron were talking to the refs about Lance's trash talk at the half.

My favorite thing about our match ups with the Heat is they absolutely can not stop TYLER. How many teams can you say that about?

Watching games on ESPN remind me how much I'm glad we don't get too many nationally televised games...

Man, I miss Chris Denari's voice lol #LeaguePassUserProblems

Re: Pacers/Heat Postgame Thread 2/1/13

We've appear to have taken step one toward making a legitimate claim to being deep playoff contenders (ECF/NBAF), which is to dominate your home floor.

However, I think the true legitimacy comes by complementing that with decent road success, and we haven't quite taken that step yet. We are not necessarily that far off, so it could happen. Maybe it doesn't even really coalesce until the playoffs.

But, if and whenever it happens, that's the only thing the will have me truly confident we are legit contenders.

Best game of the year, IMHO.

Had an answer for everything. They just grinded the entire time, slowly building up the lead. Maimi's weakness is that they are SOFT. Every player not named LeBron is soft as charmin. They can't handle smashmouth. They can easily be outworked.

Last year was a pretty fun year, this year is shaping up to be really special. I'm not saying a title, I'm not saying an ECF. But whatever happens, this team is gonna fight til death. I'm not sure any other team can really match that, besides the Bulls. Gonna be fun to watch it play out.

This is why the NBA is so great. The long story lines.

Re: Pacers/Heat Postgame Thread 2/1/13

Lance continues to show why he is a special talent. With his recent success I just hope he can embrace the 6th man role and truely be great at it.

David West knew what he had to do tonight. No one on miami can deal with his strength and nobody has the length to change his shot. I hope this is a message to the HEAT that the pacers are coming to knock you off.

I bet Lebron knows who Lance is now!

Re: Pacers/Heat Postgame Thread 2/1/13

As to this game itself, I say that there is nothing more satisfying than beating those prima donna, LeWade led pricks. Just sensational. Well played all the way around. Even better than the last Heat whipping if that's possible.

I'm with Since. I was in section 2 row 32 with maybe six Pacer fans in the entire section and it was great to have Miami fans quiet the entire time. One of my favorite games of the past few years and I haven't missed one. We controlled the game. Fantastic.

Are we 3-0 on National Television?

Beat the Knicks on TNT, won at Memphis on MLK day, and of course beating Miami tonight on ESPN.

Oh we lost to the Nets on NBATV idk if that counts.

Either way great team win. Contributions from a variety of players was awesome. I hate to bring up a complaint after an awesome game like this, but Hill and Stephenson dribble the ball waaaaay too much. Get the ball to the front court!

Re: Pacers/Heat Postgame Thread 2/1/13

Wish we could prepare and execute every game like we were playing the heat...guys we have a real chance at something special this year and beyond (if we can keep the team intact) I know it's only one regular season game but damn don't it feel great!

[McKeyFan]

I know we won handily and all, but i think espn should show another ten replays of the Wade to Lebron alleyoop. Oh, and did we win?

Re: Pacers/Heat Postgame Thread 2/1/13

I'd love to see postgame media feeds. Anybody know if the interviews are being broadcast anywhere?

Found it, too late.
