Longest day ever yesterday with a crappy witness I had to defend in a deposition that just could not stop stepping on her own feet... very frustrating.
Today:
1. Indiana Pacers +1.5 (-110), 3.3 to win 3
I think Indy comes out with the straight up win here. Why? MIA's role players are having their favorite options / strengths taken away from them, which means that if LeBron and Wade don't go crazy for like 70 total points, MIA will have trouble picking up the win. Wade is 4-19 on jumpers through two games against INDY (at home with friendly rims mind you) and he is overall 25% (12-49) on jumpers in the playoffs.
Here is a great article on why I think IND will continue to be able to assert their will in this series and (omg) has a legit shot of knocking the Heat out of the playoffs
I cannot recommend enough reading that article I linked above. Its a fantastic piece with video that will really unlock and show a lot of what IND is doing successfully and why it is successful.
Good luck to everyone. I expect a lot of love for MIA coming off of a loss with the Wade quote about seeing IND celebrate on their home floor, but those of you who watched West's post game interview recall that the first thing he said is that "this is not a celebration, this is not the end game", etc etc. Some of the young guys may have been happy to get the road win but I guarantee that David West -- who is really the veteran leadership on this team and their go to guy late -- will have them focused tonight so there is no possible letdown. I trust in West.
