I have watched all 6 games in this series and I have been right in 5 of the 6 games on POD's. It is obvious the Heat are not the same team right now because of a few reasons. #1 Wade is clearly not 100%, and #2 match up issues. I said from the beginning this would be a tough match up for the Heat because of the Heat's weakness inside and how Indiana has the strongest front line in the NBA and they have clearly showed that in this series. Their rebound advantage has been remarkable and they have been in all three of the games in Miami. The one game we had the Heat -7.5 was in game 5 and I will even admit we were extremely lucky when George Hill got into foul trouble because up until then the Pacers controlled that game as they did in game 1 and game 2.
Once again with everyone doubting the Pacers I will back them this is a team with a huge chip on their shoulder. If you disagree just youtube Roy Hibbert's response on defensive player of the year comment by the press. This entire team knows they are not getting respect and they would love nothing more than to beat Miami in their own house tonight. I was there for game 7 against the Celtics a year ago when the Heat should have ran away with the game, but the Celtics hung tough for all 4 quarters and I expect the Pacers to do so as well controlling the game like they have controlled this series.
