Can the Indiana Pacers beat the Miami Heat?

The Miami Heat are lucky they aren't going to Indiana down 2-0 to the Pacers. They would've been in big trouble. However, the Heat aren't out of trouble yet, they lost homecourt advantage to the Pacers by losing last night. And to add insult to injury, the Pacers have never lost at Bankerslife Fieldhouse in the playoffs. Pacers could possibly go up 3-1 against the Miami Heat, so the Heat better come out fighting or the Pacers are going to the NBA Finals. Who will win the Eastern Conference Finals? Who is going to the NBA Finals? I say Spurs vs. Heat/Pacers.

    Can they beat the Heat? Yes , absolutely

    But im not sure if they will tho. If Hibbert can dominate like he did in game 2, and George can continue to ball, they have a good chance.

    But this is still the Heat, there fully capable of turning it on like no other team can turn it on. But that requires D-Wade to play like D-Wade(obviously he's hurting) and Miami's shooters(Battier, Allen, Miller , Cole, Chalmers) can't shoot 20% from the field.

    My guess is that the heat win a VERY close game 3, Indiana wins game 4(ties it at 2)Miami wins game 5 at home, Indiana wins game 6 in Indy, and then Miami wins game 7

    IF Miami loses game 3 tonight, I think there done. Indiana is too good to lose 2 games in a row, especially when they have home-court advantage.

    TO answer your question: Can the Indiana Pacers beat the Miami Heat?

    Absolutely they can, if they can put the same offense and defense they did at Game 1 and 2. They got a big chance and shot at it!

    To add:

    "Whichever the final outcome of the Eastern Finals might be, the Pacers have shown the world that the Heat are not invincible and that’s a significant achievement for them. If the Indiana Pacers manage to overcome Miami and reach the NBA Finals, then they will have achieved a great feat."

    I wasn't surprise when the Heat won lead by 1 point in Game 1 IN Miami Heat home court. If they could blow out the Bulls lead by 30 points, why not on the Pacers? The answer to that is that the Pacers has THE best defense in the NBA. Allen,Chalmers,Wade,Lebron,Miller, & Battier couldn't shot 3 pointer shots. If only that moron Young #4 would have block Lebron, the Pacers would have 0-2.

    Man I hate when ppl say the heat should've been down 0-2. The pacers got lucky in game 1. Ray Allen had a chance to ice the game and wade got a a bullshit foul on George. If anything Indiana got lucky they even had a chance to win game 1. If the pacers won game 1 you don't know if they would've won game 2? I think Miami will pull this series out in 6. They were in the same position last year and they were undermanned with no bosh and the pacers had granger. Miami makes a habit of falling behind and coming back. Heat vs Spurs is my prediction

    They can if somehow Ray Allen keeps missing free throws like that, he's 50 percent from the line. Let me ask you something, do you really think Ray Allen will remain at 50 percent (worse than Dwight Howard) and 16 percent from 3 point land? Exactly. LeBron is going to make sure to give Ray and Shane Battier open looks, don't forget Chalmers. And that's all she wrote, Heat in 6.

    Its gonna be spurs vs heat. The pacers may not have lost at home during theplayoffs but they better get ready too. Chris Bosh, Chris Andersen, Lebron James, Dwayne Wade. They are not going to allow the heat to lose they just wont. Bosh and Andersen will not be tossed around like a ragdoll like Tyson Chandler. Im a knicks fan but the heat will win this one.

    warmth will truthfully win. little doubt. After seeing what got here approximately final interest...Pacers protection sucks. it is going to likely be warmth vs Spurs in the finals. Pacers can not tournament up with the warmth. while warmth attack the paint....Pacers protection breaks down.

    As opposed to trying to tape them and then uncover time to observe them later when you return house. The software package functions as a a single time download which you install on your pc inside a folder.

    Nah, Heat in 5, I don't see them making the same mistake twice, like turnovers...
