The Pacers have progressed while the Heat have regressed. You can only stay on top for so long and their time is coming to an end. I'm done regurgitating the same points with the same idiots over and over.

I just think the Heat have a better team. I don't think its impossible for the Pacers to win, but I don't think it's very likely. And the only thing I'm doing to make that determination is looking at stats and history (like i always do).
I get a little surly about things simply because I enjoy the argument. No harm though. All in good fun. Gaige kind of rages all over the place he's definitely got some Mippo in him.

I've had season Wolves tickets for 5 years and I'm not renewing for next year (I think we're buying 10 games from a couple friends but that's pretty far from 41). I'm having a real hard time supporting a team with Flip in charge of everything. I like him a lot as a person but he's set in his ways and not whatsoever in touch with the modern day NBA (both stats and strategy). I think its probably 90% likely we lose Love after next year too, which will be the second franchise cornerstone this team has had in its 25 year history only to go watch have more success elsewhere (I'm assuming this with Love).
They will continue to be my team.

To keep talking about other teams, Mark Jackson may not be with the Warriors next year pending playoff success. And with the internal coaching dysfunction hitting media outlets now it'll likely get highlighted more if the Warriors get knocked out early (which could certainly happen if they play the Clippers in the first round). I'm OK either way honestly. We keep Jackson, we keep stability with the team and the players love him. We ditch Jackson, we'll likely get a slew of excellent candidates because who wouldn't want to coach this roster? I like Jackson - and he's been integral in turning the team around - but he's not that great of a tactical coach. We rely on pure talent way too often.

I would honestly put it as a toss up right now. Heat don't seem to be nearly as good as they were last year when all the idiots were talking about them as the greatest team of all time, while the Pacers like they've improved from the team that took them to 7 games last year.

Don't get a lot of ref help against the Wizards and Cavs. I think the refs usually assume the Pacers can beat those teams legit.

I'm really glad GSW doesn't play any of the lower seeded Eastern teams in the playoffs - if they make the playoffs. We would probably lose in five or six games. I'm starting to jump on the "get rid of Mark Jackson" wagon. The Knicks go on two 10-0 runs and not a single timeout is called? And Mark Jackson's insistence in putting Barnes in ISO situations is downright retarded. Barnes either bricks a long range shot or falls on his face resulting in a turnover when driving to the basket. His regression this season has been maddening. This team has way too much talent - even without Lee and Bogut - to score only 84 points. Especially against the defensively inept Knicks. Jackson just has no concept of offensive schemes. If we miss playoffs or have an embarrassing showing once there, I'm quite confident he's gone.

Pacers offense is looking terrible. Hopefully they can turn it around before the playoffs.... It won't be fun watching the Heat lose to the West Champs.
