NBA: Playoff Time

Hopefully its boston..that could be a good series. Philly would get destroyed by miami..bad match up.
The Sixers match up better than Boston does. Boston would get run out of the gym, especially without Avery Bradley. Jrue Holiday is better than Chalmers, and as shown by the game last night can actually take over a game unlike Rondo who just wants to pass the ball. Evan Turner could actually defend Wade, unlike Ray Allen. Andre Iguodala can actually defend Lebron unlike Paul Pierce. Lavoy Allen can defend Chris Bosh.
Both teams will likely get swept, especially if Bosh is back, but the Sixers can at least run with the Heat.
Be prepared for a terribly officiated game tonight. Not only is the league's worst ref doing this game (Davis) you have to imagine they were given orders to crack down on the hard fouls. I think there's going to be a ton of free throws tonight.
I think that's the problem. They will try and run with them, but the Heat are at their best when they get out and run.
Boston will try and make it a half-court game, taking Miami out of their element. I think Boston would have a better chance of making it a series because of their style of play.
I think you're right, and I think that heavily favors the Heat. They've been much better at attacking the rim than Indy has. Granger falls in love with the three point line even when he's healthy; playing on one leg (if he plays at all) isn't going to help that mentality.
Having said that, I hope the Pacers come out and put up a fight tonight, even if they end up losing. It pisses me off how they simply folded in Games 4 and 5.
Except none of that happened any of the 4 times they played. Wade didn't play 2 of them, but all 3 put up huge numbers against philly. And holiday got outscored by Chalmers in each of the 4 games.
Disagree with everything but the sixers would get swept. No one played miami worse than philly during the season. They had no chance..it wasn't a matter of just not hitting shots. They got swept easily. And then I watched boston beat miami 3 times in april. And these were playoff atmosphere games late in the season.. that "its just regular season" argument doesn't apply for every game. Both teams wanted it.
Edit:Just saw you list sixers as your team. Ignore everything I just said. Go sixers!(if they get there) I'll be cheering for them

I was talking about physically running with them. It would be painful to watch Ray Allen and Paul Pierce chase Wade and Lebron. Collins would call a timeout every time the pace got too frantic, and Philly would also play half court.
Regular season doesn't matter at all. Philly beat Chicago with Rose and loss to Chicago without Rose in the regular season.
Last year Philly lead every game, but game 2, by at least 10 against Miami in the playoffs. They played Miami tougher than Boston did.
David West single handily lost this game for the Pacers. Forcing dumb shots, hogging the ball, throwing the ball away, and getting technical fouls for bonehead reasons. I have not once been impressed by him this whole series. Overrated big time.
They need a go to scorer. Their depth is pretty good but I think they need to trade some of that to get a star.
