David West must have money on Miami tonight.

Is Roy Hibbert the difference in this series? Is it because you have to somewhat respect his game in the post, that the Pacers are able to penetrate and hit open threes? Honest question here. I still think the Heat will advance, but I'm trying to see how the Pacers are able to hang with them with really only one all-star type player (I think Hibbert is a borderline all star player).

My quick response: The Miami Heat are the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Pacers are long and athletic, the I think it has to do more with the Heat than the Pacers.

If so, then Miami has got to light a fire under Bosh. Not saying he's a superhero or something, but your career 22 and 11 in-his-prime PF/C has got to be useful for something.

I agree, but I don't know what the hell happened there. He is a spot up shooter now, nothing more. And that statement contains no hyperbole. I do not understand what happened to Chris Bosh, especially now that Wade is no longer Wade.

This series reminds me of Bulls-Knicks in '92. Still think the Heat will win handily in 7, but man has Indiana exposed some of their weaknesses...

Yup, that seems to be all he's doing. Spoelstra has got to make a call on Wade then. If he's not 100%, you've got to make him some sort of luxury complimentary player and have LeBron and Bosh carry the load. Signing all three makes no sense if you're just going to have one twiddle his thumbs in a corner. Replace Wade with Bosh as Robin for the rest of the playoffs and we'll see what happens.

I don't think so. Since the perception is he's the Jordan of the Heat, he'll probably be blamed for failing to put the team on his back. I still think they'll win though. One other factor working against the Pacers in game 7 is the lack of experience. They're one win away from the freakin' Finals; I bet they're going to be nervous around tip-off.

It's Spoelstra. The perimeter game led by Wade and James is not your strength anymore. Utilize Bosh's scoring to supplement James. Is there any other choice?

I have to think the Spurs will be rusty and get steam rolled in game 1.

Game 7 will be interesting. Miami is having internal problems and I have to side with LeBron. I'm not sure if the women clothing has cut off the blood supply to Wade's head but I have absolutely no clue what he is talking about. He should be lucky LeBron even passes the ball to him or Bosh. If they shot the ball more in this series it would be over. LeBron has been forced to carry a lot of dead weight. This is one time if LeBron loses I can't blame him. Wade should STFU.

Spot on NAS. I still think the Heat wins game 7 but it will be interesting seeing how this plays out. Will Lebron differ more to Wade and Bosh or will he just say F it and play like Cleveland Lebron and do it all himself. If I were LBJ, I would do the latter. This Heat team is going to implode very soon. When can Lebron opt out again?

They should just amnesty Bosh or Wade, and go after Dwight Howard.

Really? I don't think Dwight Howard fixes any problems and with his injuries/lack of development who knows if he will even be a top tier guy in a 2 years.

Heat will win Game 7 by about 40.

Most people probably feel this way. I wouldn't discount the confidence Indiana has or the pressure Miami will be playing with. Throw in the internal problems and I'm picking the Pacers by 12.

They are not playing the Bulls with no Rose, Deng and Hinrich.

I think Indiana wins, I don't know by how much but it will be close...or maybe not. I have this sinking feeling that the Pacers will have to overcome a lot of pro-Miami officiating throughout the game. But if they can have those point blank layups drop, keep + on rebounds and stay out of foul trouble, they may have a shot. Oh, and keep the ball out of Stephenson's hands, that dude scares me.

-Wade is bad, really bad. A total non-factor.
-Bosch can't do much, can't really getting a scoring rhythm going, no defense, no size.

Or Miami wins by 50.

Scott Foster, with Mike Callahan and Ken Mauer will referee tonight's game.

well, no Joey Crawford...

If Lebron has one of his "Lebron" games, I think Heat win big.
