Preview of Game Five Indiana Pacers vs Miami Heat

The Heat and Pacers will continue their battle tomorrow night at the America Airlines Arena in beautiful Downtown Miami. The Pacers defeated the Heat 99-92,as they tied up the best of seven at two games apiece. I will not talk about the officiating but some weird calls were made in favor of both teams, but when you look at why Miami lost the game it's simple shooting 39% from the field is not going to get it done. Chris Bosh shooting 1-6 from the field and seven points is not going to get the job done. When you look at the way is which Lebron and Dwyane played yesterday it was just average a combine 13-33 from the field and that was not enough for Miami. When you look at Roy Hibbert 10-16 shooting 23 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. Lance Stephenson 9-15 shooting with 20 points and the most surprising performance was from Paul George 4-10 shooting with 12 points. Also the Pacers shot from the field 50% looking ahead to Game five the momentum has shifted towards Indiana. Miami needs to make adjustments, for example the Heat needs to involve Chris Bosh more offensively 1-6 shooting is not going to get the job done. Also, Ray Allen 2-7 shooting from three point range is not going to get the jobs done and he really needs to start knocking those down, because when he does Miami is hard to beat. The Heat need to grab more rebounds which is hard because of the Indiana Pacers front court size, but it's not an impossible task. Miami needs to start fast in the beginning of the game and not wait until mid first quarter to start playing harder. When you look at Game five of the Eastern Conference Finals, Miami can't even give Indiana the confidence that they can win again at the America Airlines Arena. How will the big three for Miami play?Will we see that evil stare of Lebron James that we witness in Game six of the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals against Boston. A lot of questions need to be answer and they will be answer tomorrow night at 8:30 pm.

The Heat silence the doubters for now,as the Heat cruised in game three

After the Heat lost game two at the America Airlines Arena 97-93,the doubters began climbing out of their caves.They started to wonder if the Indiana Pacers would be able to take the series away from Miami, but reality struck the doubters again in the face.The Heat cruised in game three of the Eastern Conference Finals 114-96,Udonis Haslem played the role of a hero hitting eight of his nine shots scoring 17 points.This caught Heat nation off guard because in game one and two, Haslem only had one field goal for three points.The Miami Heat scored 70 points in the first half against number one defense in the NBA and shooting a sizzling 54% from the field.  Lebron James was 7-17 from the field and added 22 points, also Wade had 18, Bosh 15, and Chalmers 14. The Pacers did not have a good performance by Paul George 3-10 from the field with 13 points,West 8-16 21 points, and Hibbert 4-12 20 points in a losing matter.Game four will be on Tuesday, at Bankers Life Fieldhouse tip-off set at 8:30 pm.The doubters for now are keeping silent because the Heat sent a message to them after the game three performance.

LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Miami Heat vs Indiana Pacers in Eastern Conference finals

                                                                  

The Miami Heat are only eight wins away from back to back NBA Championship.They enter the Eastern Conference Final,which begins tomorrow at the America Airlines Arena in beautiful Downtown Miami.The Heat and Pacers tipoff at 8:30 pm. These two teams are very familiar with one another, if you recall the Heat played the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals of last years playoff where the Heat won 4-2.That series had very intense moments starting off when Frank Vogel made a comment stating that the Heat are floppers, also you had Danny Granger get in Lebron James face. How about Lance Stephenson doing the choke sign after Lebron James missed a free throw and in game four had Juawn Howard confront him in pre game shoot around.We also had hard fouls including Tyler Hansbrough on Dwayne Wade,which left him bleeding. Do you think it ended there?No way! In retaliation Udonis Haslem--with his arms--slammed Hansbrough in the face, leaving him dazed.Also,who can forget in the clinching game five Dexter Pittman striking Lance Stephenson in the throat.This Eastern Conference Finals matchup should be intense and physical,but in the Heat mindset they know back to back NBA Championship is within reach.They do have to take care of the Indiana Pacers in this upcoming round.
