2014 Eastern Conference Finals: Indiana Pacers vs. Miami Heat

[ProfessaPackMan]

So after all the mess that took place by Indiana from the All Star Break, thru the season and into the playoffs, we still get the matchup that's basically been a year in the making. What a shocker!

This is what Indiana wanted and they got everything they need to beat the Heat(Homecourt)so they can't make any other excuses if they lose to them again.

Game 1 - Sun May 18 Miami at Indiana, 3:30 p.m.

Game 2 - Tue May 20 Miami at Indiana, 8:30 p.m.

Game 3 - Sat May 24 Indiana at Miami, 8:30 p.m.

Game 4 – Mon May 26 Indiana at Miami, 8:30 p.m.

Game 5 * Wed May 28 Miami at Indiana, 8:30 p.m.

Game 6 * Fri May 30 Indiana at Miami, 8:30 p.m.

Game 7 * Sun June 1 Miami at Indiana, 8:30 p.m.

Indiana will make a series out of it, 6 games at least.

Miami hasn't looked that great against mediocre teams. Indiana hasn't looked great either but at least they beat Washington twice on the road.

Indiana matches up well with the Heat and they have home court.

Alright Indiana, no more excuses. You have one job to do. Do it.

I'm hoping the Heat make it quick, I'm tired of seeing David West play. I need to see Lebron attack George in the post like he did last year.

For people questioning if homecourt advantage will even be an advantage, it will be simply to not have to play in Miami if there's a game 7. That crowd can really feed LeBron energy, the whole team.

Bobcats are a mediocre team yes. But to call the Nets mediocre is a really big stretch ex. Like chiropractic stretch.

I think we can probably throw out everything that we've seen from these teams earlier in the playoffs to be honest...it's a new day and they know each other more than well...

That said, I will go back to my original prediction of Indy in 7....little brother finally wins..

In your opinion, in mine I had always said they were not going to do a damn thing. Ask Pack. But that's my opinion so I don't expect anyone to agree

I think home court would help Indy's confidence if it comes to that...but this group winning a road Finals game in OKC together makes me doubtful it'd bother MIA...not to mention...the field house isn't really a pressure atmosphere

Right but what my point is, is that the Pacers wouldn't have to play at Miami in a game 7 where the crowd can really get the Heat going.

At the same time we've seen Miami be absolutely ruthless on the road in the playoffs. I just feel like home court is a little overblown.

With how Indy has played lately, I don't even think this goes 7 any more... As much as I love 7 game series, I'm into the suspense lol.

Has a team ever beat another team 3 times in a row in the playoffs? I'm sure, but I can't remember...

I agree Miami could make this go shorter than 7, my point being if it goes 7, Indiana would much rather take a ho hum Indy crowd than a raucous Miami crowd

I really don't think homecourt in this situation is overblown at all, nobody is making much of it considering the circumstances with Indy
