In the end I think Miami pulls this out. Lebron will go off and there is no way Ster/ESPN/Nike allows an Indiana/San Antonio finals. That would post the lowest ratings in sports history and allt he NBA cares about is the $$$ and keeping the frontrunners happy.
especially considering the nba is sponsored by adidas and not nike.
Pacers 92-91. Lebron misses a shot off the back rim at the buzzer. The pressure of winning championships finally breaks the Heat's back. The series-ending miss cements Lebron's legacy. After the season Wade is traded. The "big 3" era ends in a huge disappointment.

One title and one finals appearance isn't exactly nothing but I guess it would be a bit of a disappointment should Riley decide to break up the team if they fall short tonight.
If that happens I'm sure ESPN, the LeBron fan boys and bandwagon jumpers will somehow find a way to blame Cleveland fans and Dan Gilbert.
the powers that be will miami to win.
expect some bs calls.
if you so much as breathe on lebron tonight, it'll be a foul.
4 players ejected, at least.
should be fun.
Yes, my prediction was without Stern being on line-one. If he is on line-one, then there is no chance the Pacers win. In fact, I'd say it could be a Lakers-Kings type of catastrophe. And if this happens, I will no longer be an NBA fan. It would cement everything I have been trying to put in the back of my mind for a very long time.

Compared to what they said "....not six, not seven"? I would say it is.

Took the words out of my mouth...Bennett Salvatore and Dick Bavetta will likely officiate to make sure the home team is victorious.

You're right it isn't nothing, but it would be a catastrophe, and totally embarrassing for Lebron considering all the hype he brought to the table w all the talk about winning what was it like 7 or 8 rings. It would be one of the biggest embarrassments in NBA history if the Heat don't win another title w this group, and their "fan base" will be reduced by about 85%....and I have to admit, I'M TOTALLY ROOTING FOR THAT TO HAPPEN!!!
LETS-GO-PA-CERS!!! CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP CLAP!!
In a perfect world, the Pacers win tonight. Unfortunately, the world is usually a very unforgiving, harsh place where the good guys don't always win. So I'm going Heat by more than 5.
I called it. But I was hoping for a better game than this. What a letdown.
