Everyone knows that in the know and the Advanced Scouts have this down to a Science. What do the Heat and Pacers want to establish in Round 2 versus each other?

Team GOLD SWAGGER...Pacers

Normally Teams in the logo when they have a really good game against you and get the L, especially running away, they try to duplicate that same game to see if or when you make the adjustments. What went wrong Today with the Pacers was that their Perimeter Players got caught up in the moment playing a little outside of themselves.

The Pacers hammered the Heat in Game 3 inside where they are weakest and then all of a sudden the pacers want to forget that Game Plan and trade J for J against the Heat. Now we go back to 305 2-2 and the Pacers have to go exclusively D-West when he is in there and use Hibbert as a facilitator as well. When they get touches and they are dominating inside that opens the perimeter for the Pacers Shooters and guys off the bounce have lanes.

Team WHITE HOT.....Heat

King James and  Wade County are smart enough to know with Bosh out their one guy that commanded attention inside is no longer available. The Screen and Roll or Pop is exclusively ran with Bosh and now that's even gone.

What the Heat did in Games 1 and 4 was forget the Offense but our Defense is our Offense and then we can get out in Transition. Wade County and King James are not the best half Court players but most if not all players in the Logo are flawed somewhere when you slow the game down.

What Wade County did on Sunday was use his 5-Star Middle Game. The 15 and In off the Glass Jump Shots, off the Bounce in the lane with hooks, floaters, and running one-handlers. That's  D-Wade's game and he went to that Attack Mode instead of settling and that made his Defense also get kick started.  Teams have to keep Wade County out of the lane and limit the Heat in general from leaking out getting Rim Runs and Breakouts and You Tube or Sports Center Top 10 highlights. .

As for King James you just hope he is not shooting well from the Perimeter but he impacts the game in so many areas until there really is no one thing you could pin point or attack to Stop Him. The only Player who can Stop the king ....is the king. Today....40-18-9....that is a nice 2-Game numbers for a perennial All-Star in the Logo that plays in the Front Court. And James makes it look like a Stroll down MUCK City....Pahokee, Florida.  

Overall both Teams know what they have to do its just that are you willing to Sacrifice your Personal Goals for the team and play within the Game Plan no matter what. The Pacers didn't Today and they get a costly L. The Heat made subtle adjustments but their 2-best get going at a Time in Need and the Great Ones Rise Up and when they do and your on the other end....just pray to the Basketball Gods...No Sports Center or BLUEDUDE SPORTSTALK showing or talking bad.
