Hibbert has to be able to score more points if they are going to win, they should be dominating inside. I think the Pacers could have taken the series if Wade was still struggling with the injury or whatever his problem was but it looks like he's back in form the last 2 games.

he had a knee drained after game 3.

agree, gotta go inside to Hibbert, but at the same time, you can't botch a 3-1 break, or a 4-1 break or drive the lane and miss a uncontested layup.

I know, that was some brutal basketball last night. Whatever momentum the Pacers took from game 3 is gone. How do you think the Heat are going to do against the Celtics? Curious to see if Bosh plays. I think if Garnett is on top of his game the Heat will really struggle to make it past them. Still picking the Heat though at this point.

I feel like the Celtics will play Miami hard, but can't see them beating the Heat four times.

They might have a chance if they adapt Wade's strategy of shoving people on the fast break.

i'm assuming they have some sort of agreement with the clippers that they have to have more lights on or something to make it seem like a different atmosphere than a lakers game?

when games were at the forum, the crowd was always darkened...when they moved to this dump, they lit the crowd...i guess they' went back to low light at some point...honestly, until tonight i hadn't really noticed

and the clippers light their crowd to prove they actually have fans

well i just read that the league wants all of the crowds lit but grandfathered the lakers because that's how they did it at the forum

Talk about a joke that All-defensive team is. Celtics have the best defense in the league and nobody gets recognized for it. Oh well, the D will be that much more suffocating tonight.

Right. All praise due to Thibs and his defensive genius.

I was going to say, I think Chicago has the title of being the best defensive team in the 2011-2012 season.

Like Fenway said though, I credit Thibs mainly.

That's right. I forgot about that. I was disappointed Dallas didn't resign him.

Hubie Brown is unabashedly rooting for the Sixers in this game. ESPN sucks. Wish this game was on TNT.

Jerry Sloan to the Bobcats :fp:

That was just a pathetic display by Boston. They didn't deserve to win that game. Ray Allen is a total liability at both sides of the court. Nobody wants to grab boards and Bass was ice cold all game. I want to puke right now.
