NBA Playoffs – Indiana Pacers Getting Closer, Miami Heat Falling Apart
The Miami Heat had no big men to help out Dwyane Wade and Goran Dragic, and so their fall outside the playoff picture continues with a 112-89 loss to the Indiana Pacers, rejuvenated by the return of Paul George, which might actually be enough to push them into the postseason.

NBA Playoffs – Indiana Pacers Play Dirty, Miami Heat Miss Opportunity
In a game 5 with wild momentum shifts, an incredible shooting performance from Paul George and an astonishingly bad one from LeBron James when he was actually on the floor, the Indiana Pacers managed to beat the Miami Heat 93-90 and stay alive in the Eastern Conference Finals, heading for a road game with the Heat leading 3-2 in the series.

NBA Playoffs – Heat vs Pacers Game 5 Predictions
The Indiana Pacers have been able to survive elimination once in these playoffs, but the challenge against the Miami Heat, going into game 5 with a 3-1 lead, is completely different. Paul George and Lance Stephenson seem too busy trash talking while their head coach Frank Vogel seems to be clueless as to how to adjust to what the defending NBA champions are doing, as LeBron James seemed to take his game to a whole other level in their most recent win.

NBA Playoffs – Paul George Making Excuses, LeBron James Still Isn’t Impressed
Losers make excuses, winners make adjustments. That’s an actual saying, and clearly Paul George, contradicting himself all throughout the press conference coming after the Indiana Pacers lost to the Miami Heat in game 4 of the Eastern conference, hasn’t heard of it. I’m not sure LeBron James has either, but his coach probably has, and it was quite clear he wasn’t impressed with another player from the inferior team (so far) trying to engage in some sort of trash talk.

NBA Playoffs – LeBron James Shouldn’t Care About What Lance Stephenson Says
They say bullies act a certain ways because of huge inferiority issues. Trash talkers might do the same in order to hide certain weaknesses of their own, which is exactly why LeBron James shouldn’t pay no mind to Lance Stephenson trying to use cheap tricks in a series between the Indiana Pacers and the Miami Heat.

NBA Playoffs – Miami Heat Made Adjustments, Indiana Pacers Did Nothing
Making adjustments is the name of the game in the NBA playoffs, and the Miami Heat combined that factor that comes with good coaching and experience to the ability of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade to convert in the most important of moments, leading the Miami Heat to a 87-83 road win in game of the Eastern conference finals, making it a 1-1 series against the Indiana Pacers, who clearly regressed in comparison to their first game, looking quite lost and sheepish in the closing minutes.

NBA Playoffs – Heat vs Pacers Game 2 Predictions
The Miami Heat have entered a game 2 of a playoff series down a game during the Big Three era, always managing to erase that early loss. This time, without home court advantage and some clear inferiority against the once again confident Indiana Pacers, there’s a greater feel of desperation to it all, although it’s impossible to predict which Roy Hibbert will show up, and when the next LeBron James explosion is due.

NBA Playoffs – Indiana Pacers Close to Perfect, Miami Heat Have to Improve
Things couldn’t have gone any better for the Indiana Pacers in game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals, beating the Miami Heat 107-96 to take the 1-0 lead with Paul George, Roy Hibbert and David West leading the way, while the Miami Heat didn’t get anyone to show besides LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.
-
NBA Playoffs – Heat vs Pacers Game 1 Predictions
A repeat of the Eastern Conference finals from last season was expected, but the momentum and situation for both the Miami Heat and the Indiana Pacers, who have home court advantage, is a bit different than most assumed it would be. As game 1 approaches, the defending NBA champions will probably look to be more than just LeBron James and four other guys, while the challengers will be hoping Roy Hibbert wakes up on his good side.

Heat vs Pacers – Here we go Again
For the third straight year, the Indiana Pacers and the Miami Heat will play each other in the NBA playoffs. For the first time, the Pacers have home court advantage, hoping that their inconsistent ways of pulling through, exemplified better with Roy Hibbert than anyone else, will be enough, finally, to find an answer to a problem no team has been able to solve in series for more than two years: Stopping LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh from moving forward.
