Yes. And the Spurs did a fantastic job to nearly beat the Heat. Pop is the best coach in the league.

I doubt anyone extends the Heat to 7 games in this year's playoffs. The Heat do tend to lose focus at times, but they have won every time they needed to for the past few years.

Dude it is about 90% full. Probably sold out and 90% or so actual attendance.

Heat in 5 with Lebron this year. Unless the Pacers have home court. Then Heat in 6.

No Lebron, Pacers probably win in 6 or 7.

Personally, I do not believe any team forces a game 7 against the Heat this year.

Heat might get pissed the frick off and decide to sweep the Pacers also. Just depends on whether Indy runs their mouth any or not.

On what basis? I'm not saying that won't happen or anything, just want to know why you believe that. Remember how they won like 27 in a row last spring and everybody thought they'd sweep through? Genuinely curious.

Here is the thing about the Heat and Pacers series last year when they met in the ECFs...

After every Indy win, the Heat won the next game by a lot, all double digit wins. The Heat sorta saw the Pacers, knew they beat them without Bosh the year before and sorta chuckled. Then whenever Indy won, the Heat became mildly annoyed and went ahead and put a good beating on them. Average margin of victory by the Heat after each Indy win was nearly 18 points. That included an 18 point win in Indy and a total arse kicking in Game 7.

This year, the Pacers are getting sorta uppity and yapping about themselves actually being a rival and legit threat to the Heat ( ). Which means instead of getting mildly annoyed at the cute little underdog Pacers, the Heat might actually get relatively motivated and go ahead a lay a beatdown on them, just because they can.

See my last post.

I give all the credit in the world to the Spurs and Pop for last year's finals. Pop really is the best coach in the NBA and it isn't even close. He did one HELL of a job in the finals last year. I don't think he can duplicate it again this year, but IMO the Spurs w/ Pop are the only team that MIGHT be able to force a game 7 against the Heat.

I don't know Oden's final stats but I thought he looked good, especially on the glass.

5 points and 5 boards in 13 minutes which is a bit more than 1/3rd of a normal starters time.

So about 13 points and 13 boards on 50% shooting if he played the starter norm of about 35 minutes of a 48 minute game.

You realize the heat just beat 5 western conference playoff teams... On the road... IN A ROW

The Heat have owned the western conference this year.
