Even though the Western Conference Finals are all set to go as soon as tomorrow, the NBA will make the Thunder & Spurs wait until Sunday night to tip off their series in San Antonio. TNT will have it when they do get it on.

As for the Eastern Conference Finals, they could start as soon as Saturday. It hinges on whether the Heat or Pacers finish the job Thursday in Game 6 in Indianapolis, as well as the Celtics ending the Sixers' season in Philadelphia tomorrow in Game 6 of that series. Right now, I've got to think Boston & Miami are on a collision course after Indiana, I felt, lost more than Game 4 Sunday vs. the Heat. When the Eastern Conference Finals are all set, you'll find Game 1 on ABC as soon as Saturday night and ESPN picking up the rest from Game 2 on. Got all that?

I know we all want to root AGAINST Miami but LeBron made 40 and 18 look so easy Sunday. There might be less pressure on him with all the injuries. I still wouldn't bet against them in the Finals. OKC is too young and not really great defensively and the Spurs may be a little mature. A healthy Bosh makes Miami the favorite IMO. Indiana has a shot to kick possibly win the series with a game 5 victory but if they lose they won't see Miami again until this fall. No way the Celtics or Sixers win a game against the Heat. Healthy Wade or not. I've seen some really bad basketball.

I know most people are counting Indiana out at this point, but it's not impossible for them to win tonight.

Miami came out hot tonight. Looks like a blowout might be on the horizon.

Pacers forgot how to defend. And they need to get Hibbard the ball more.

Battier has made three 3-pointers in the first quarter? Fuck, Miami is gonna win this game and the series. Pacers screwed themselves by dropping Game 4. It's over.

Pacers are head-hunting. Hansbrough just busted Wade open. I don't like that dirty play. Win by playing better basketball. There's no call for all that stuff.

I hope the wound doesn't prevent him from wearing his post game glasses.

Wow. Pacers just decided to start throwing up bad wild shots. Seriously, they look like the fucking Raptors. Great offensive strategy. :roll:

That was a terrible call on Hansborough. The Haslem foul should have been an ejection though.

Lebron and Wade are clowns. They celebrate after every lay up or dunk. Can't wait til the Thunder or Spurs take them to the shed.

Because they lost 2 games in this series, when it's over they'll celebrate like they won the title.

I can't believe the officials did not review any of the flagrant foul calls during the game last night. I don't see how they could Flagrant-1 on any of them and just leave it at that. The Hansborough foul was probably a flagrant-1 at worst, but the Haslem retaliation shot should have been reviewed right away, and he should have been tossed, and maybe suspended an extra game. He made no play for the ball, and was just headhunting.

The Pittman foul at the end was just disgraceful though. He should be suspended at least 5 games for that (not that it really matters). You can't go at a guy's throat. Something like that could possibly kill someone if you hit him the right way.
