So great to see the Heat lose, pure joy. And yes the Pacers easily could be up 2-0. Now if the Pacers win game 3, there should be serious doubt creeping into Lebrons fragile psyche!!!!!

Calm down the series is only 1-1 and based on what happened last year, people who want to see the Heat lose should only get excited if the Pacers win BOTH games in Indy instead of just one. Because I seriously don't believe the heat would win 3 in a row in that situation.

The Heat may split in Indy, but the Pacers have shown they are not afraid of playing in Miami. At all.
And I say again, if the Pacers win game 3, thats a psychological blow. Game 4 would be a must win, back against the wall game for Miami.

I'm starting to think that if the Pacers can win the next 3 games, the Heat might not have any chance to win this series if history is an indicator. Go Memphis!

Wrong, the series is best 5 out of 9 and the last two games are in Miami

I believe it's going 7 games after watching the first two games.

So I expect to see the Spurs in the NBA Finals this year.

Who's "we"?
Who do "we" consider a GREAT coach?

Must.Stop.Scratching.

Most NBA fans who post on here consider Popovich a Great coach because of what he accomplished between 1999 and 2007. But his teams have been collapsing like hell in the postseason since 2007.

Name a coach in that time period and even until now besides Phil Jackson that has been more successful than Popovich.

There was a clear deterioration of talent on those teams, and injury. This years team is better, so Pop looks better. If they win this year then he's right behind Jackson (probably is anyway) in this generation. You don't have to win every year to be a great coach.
