Why is Miami Heat having a hard time beating the Indiana Pacers?

I know it has something to do with the Pacers length, they look like a center team and the Heat looks like little kindergarden since they are all small, except for Bosh and the Birdman. But what do they need to do to win against them in the playoffs?

    They have more length than the Heat and gave them trouble last year. The Pacers are an improved team from last year as well. However, come playoff time I still think the Heat can win, although i wouldnt be surprised if the series went to seven games.

    Miami could take the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies backcourt grow to be no longer as a lot because the job of protecting adverse to the Spurs and could't look to hit the three with any type of consistency. Gasol and Randolph could supply the nice and comfy temperature some actual issues no no longer anymore than Hibbert and West are doing now for the Pacers. The Pacers are matching up nicely with the nice and comfy temperature because George is an rising superstar. The Grizzlies do no longer have that participant. The Pacers can be a tougher opponent for the Spurs. i could take the Spurs in six or seven video games because their backcourt is more suitable acceptable. All bets could be off although if Granger grow to be healthful sufficient to play. tremendous question!

    Pacers have more hardworking, young and aggressive players in defense.. unlike in Heat where there are more old lazy players (Miller, Lewis, Allen, Haslem and Battier. Their bench is just too awful sometime. And most of all, the Pacers knows how to heat up their temper.. making the big-3 lost their focus and get frustrated.

    They defend them well on every possession and they can dominate them in the post with West and Hibbert
