What are the odds that Indiana could give them trouble...maybe push it to 6 or seven games or even pull the upset? I haven't really followed Indiana this year but they must be pretty solid to be the 3 seed.

In the regular season Miami won 3 of 4

118-83
105-90
93-91 (OT)

then Indiana won 105-90 at the end of March

They'll need to continue to dominate the interior

I've been saying for a while that I think the Pacers would give anyone trouble.

I think they're a team who plays up/down to their competition.

I think they'd get one game in Indiana.

Miami in 5 sounds about right.

At least the Pacers got better and better when they played the Heat.

I hope it's a great series.

some lopsided games for the most part.

Indiana is going to play them closer. Heat in 6, but lots of close games.

Hibbert and West would have to play out of their minds.....I can see West doing it, but as for Hibbert? doubt it.

Hibbert protecting the rim could be huge.

Does anybody know how the series will go if the heat win tomorrow?

Any projections on the date for Games 3 and 4?

I'm anxious to see how raucous Indiana's home court can get for this series. They weren't impressive at all for Orlando.

If they had an OKC or Portland-like crowd I think they have the talent and size to push Miami to a very tough 6 if not 7.

I thought New York matched up better (pre-Shumpert, Stoudemire, and Davis injuries) than Indy does.

I wouldn't be surprised with a 6 games series, but I don't see them stretching it to 7.

What difference does that make? They've been in front of loud crowds before.

The Heat have absolutely no excuse not to win the Title this year. The Pacers shouldn't take more than a game from the Heat and whoever wins the other semifinal match-up shouldn't take more than a game either.

The Celtics took 3 of 4 from Miami this year. Granted, 1 of those games was when both teams essentially sat everyone at the end of the year, but Boston gives Miami trouble.

Rondo will need to have pretty much a triple double every night for the Celtics to have a legit chance to pull it off. Garnett is going to stop Bosh, but Allen and Pierce are going to need to play out of their minds to stop their matchups in Wade and LeBron.

Well good thing it's not a 3 on 3 series.

It will take the Heat a total of 15 games to get to the finals.

Just like they did last year, and got beat in 5 games.
