So you have no comments on the Pacers play?

I think they played like they had 1 leg up on he Heat and took the 1-1 split for granted. I think they played okay but were terrible defensively in the first half. I think they'll bounce back Game 2 and play desperate. That's the thing I don't understand about most teams, why not play desperate every game. I would always play like I could lose but absolutely do not want to.

How did you think Paul George played?

Pacers will continue to play timid at home, when Miami brings it. they aren't the Spurs with a core of 30 yr old rallying the troops.

I think he got overwhelmed in the post...by Lebron. Showed some life in the second half but if Lebron continues to go in the post George will have problems. We all know Lebron has physical advantages most players in this league do not have. He wisely used them yesterday. George played a good first half from a ball distribution aspect(besides those 2 turnover late first half) but needed to play more assertive on the offensive end to make Lebron work.

Playoffs are a game of adjustment...Spo made really good game 3 adjustments.

seems like lebron developed a left-handed bank shot and a teardrop shot in preparation for this series. just an amazing basketball player. one of a kind.

No one cares enough about your theory to change their posting style.
You've set up at best a vague theory that incorporates almost any piece of data. So it is not surprising you were "right."
If we interpret your theory literally, than it was probably falsified last night. You said the Pacers would play tight in the fourth quarter at home but they played pretty evenly with the Heat in the fourth quarter.

Yeah his theory changes from game to game depending the results and then probability....what a parody show.

No my theory never changed, but you did in your approach to try and attack the point I made.

Home teams play timid at home when the opposing team brings it for 48 min , visiting team play loose, so if the game is close , especially at the end home team gets nervous .

I have to disagree with your theory..I think Miami was under more pressure in game 3 because they lost home court advantage...They had to win game three or be down 2-1 with another game to play in Indy...JVG was also asked about the pressure in an interview this morning on Mike and MIke..He said the noise and home court doesn't bother a vet team until the last few mins of a close game..he also thought the pressure was on Miami...

Lebron turned Paul George into Boy George.
