Heat vs Pacers, Game 1

George was great.

It was a great game.

If this series goes deep there will be injuries. Just has to be.

Agreed speed, look at the picture on ESPN, Hansborough is in the corner? WTF?

I would rather let Bosh beat me with a jumper if they double James, or worst case send Lebron to the line.

...and Hansborough was nowhere near the final layup.

I still don't understand why George didn't foul the moment LeBron spun past him. The key was completely open. Not a soul standing in there. A definite layup. LeBron is not exactly Mark Price from the foul line. Foul him, no?

Well they are not terrible, they are an OPINION.

Hibbert blocks shots, pretty sure that he would contest it, not stand at the rim..Who does that apart from Shawn Bradley? lol.

Seriously if you would give up a three or a mid range over a layup, then we will never agree.

Opinions mate : )

"I would say we would probably have him in next time," Vogel said.

AND Paul George is major clutch!! This should be noted.

3 pointer to force overtime, and then 3 foul shots at the death, the man has ice in his veins!

To bad no one will remember thanks to Vogel.

They are terrible? ok sorry Mr P.Jackson.

Okay, with 2.2 seconds left, why would you guard the inbounds, and NOT double Lebron?

And what height was in to block the layup or shot?
Hansborough who is the same height as lebron? Nice move, of course he was licking his chops and going to the hole. Or someone 15 cm taller who can block shots?

Cannot believe you would give up a certain layup, or a 50/50 jumpshot.

Really, you would take a defender away from the rim IN CASE he takes a jump shot?

Terrible coaching, force him to take the jumpshot, if you lose on a jumper ok, if you lose on a layup??? It is bad coaching.

Make the other team play into your hands, force him to take the contested shot and live with the result, if he is too good, so be it. But take a big man out and defend the perimeter???

Why cahenge your lineup to suit what they have on the floor, make them adjust I think..
Anyway seems like it will be good to watch.

^ Yep.

So many questions about Vogel down the stretch.

Hibbert's benching on those last 2 layups by LeBron. The lack of instruction to foul LBJ once he spun past George on the final play. Having said that, the players should have been aware that a foul would have been a smart thing to do then as well.

Even as a Heat fan, I would've loved to have seen the Pacers take Game 1 and homecourt.

Sorry for triple post but apparently Vogel benched Hibbert on that last play. WTF!!

Poor coaching decision there IMO.

He messed around and got a triple double as well.

No idea will be watching the replay tonigh. Damn. Looks like a great game apart from the result ;)

3 foul shots, fouled on a three, then they gave up a lay up to Lebron on the buzzer I believe.

OT!
