Indiana Pacers

If Indiana goes 2-0, they clinch the No.1 seed.

If Miami goes 1-1, Indiana must go 1-1 to get the No. 1 seed.

If Miami goes 0-2, Indiana clinches the No. 1 seed.*

For Miami to clinch the No.1 seed, they must go 2-0 and Indiana go 1-1 or 0-2, OR Miami must go 1-1 and IND must go 0-2.*

Indiana just has to go 1-1

So we just have to beat Orlando. Hmmm.

what i kept on saying on the Heat thread.
1. since Paul George became an All-Star officially, nabuawaya na cya sa game, he took the ball more often than before resulting to poor shooting and offense for the Pacers.
2. No clear offensive plays for INDiana, kapila sila na buthan ug hapit na buthan ug shot clock on all of its game, no pick and rolls as before and lots of desperate 3 point shot attempt just to beat the shot clock. No clear point guard who can distribute the ball effectively.
3. This is a young team with a young mind, meaning since na kuha nila ang top seed earlier, ni salig na cla ug kompyansa, a young team is similar to a young Kobe or Lebron, buawaya, superstar complex and all they think is to win with thier name on top of every win.
4. Hibbert is obvious, kabalo ang mga kontra if ang bola padng ni Hibbert and Hibbert will try to shoot the ball.

I predict an early exit for INDIANA, maybe 1st or 2nd round if padayun pa ni ila style and dli cla mobalik sa ilahang game before pa cla ni sikat.

If you don't mind me rebutting a bit:

1. Since the original franchise player Danny Granger went down, ni step up si Paul George. Indiana saw that there is a lot more to his game so they signed him up long-term and invisibly tapping him as the next big thing in Indy. Struggling kaayo sa opensa pero unsaon taman, you can't win everything. For the Pacers, it's a learning curve. Bad timing lang jud kay padung na playoffs.

2. While George Hill is not your typical facilitator, way choice ang Indiana but to lean on him. Ila unta ni na-address pag offseason in the Granger trade pero might as well boost your bench than possibly disrupting the chemistry of your starting five.

3. Like you said, a young team and young mind. They are leading the East and they were riding with extreme confidence. A young Kobe/Lebron went through this, so why can't the Pacers (or particularly Paul George) do the same?

4. Every player on a basketball team is obvious nga kung naa nila ang bola they will try to shoot the ball. Good observation though.

------------------------------------------------

Big win by Pacers vs Thunder, 101-97.

Indiana was carried by its bench early, and the trio of C.J. Watson, Ian Mahinmi and Luis Scola combined to score 41 points on 15-of-21 shooting.

In the second half, David West and Lance Stephenson took over.

West finished with a team-high 21 points, while shooting 9-of-11 from the field. He hit three clutch free throws down the stretch to seal the victory.

Stephenson recorded his league-leading fifth triple-double, posting 17 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds while spending much of the game guarding Kevin Durant.

After the win, Indiana now has one game left. They'll clinch the Eastern Conference's top seed with a win against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday.
------------------------------------------------

One win nalang dayon homecourt advantage na dayon.

the difference for the pacers in this game..... and perhaps during their late season struggle:

george hill - 3 pts, 1-3 FG, 0-2 3PM/A
cj watson - 20 pts, 6-10 FG, 4-7 3PM/A


and roy hibbert, grabe kaau sya ka critical sa iyang teammates.... but he can't even walk the talk himself.... karon duwaa he was 0-9, 0 pts.... & also struggled in the 2 games prior....

[nickgandionco]

One more win, or one more heat loss. And pacers clinch home court.

[supermarionism]

Sila gyud ang maka kuha aning top seed sa East.

"Indiana's magic number for clinching the No. 1 in the Eastern Conference is one. A loss by Miami in either of its final two games, Monday in Washington and Wednesday against Philadelphia, or a Pacers' victory in their finale Wednesday in Orlando, would secure the top spot."
