Finally its here as the Miami Heat have been taking care of business not thinking about what's next but living in the moment. That is a mark of a Championship Outfit worrying about what right in front of you and not what might be potentially in front of you. On the other hand the Pacers have been eyeing the Miami Heat from day one hence to long losing streaks during the 82-game trek, bad Home Court Play in Winning Time, and turmoil running amok through that Pacers Locker Room. Now they finally get what they have been wanting since May 2013 and we will see if Home Court was the difference.

#HEATnation how they got here:

The Heat have made quick work of the Charlotte Bobcats in Round 1 as the 'Cats were no match for the Champs. In Round 2 the Champs beat the Brooklyn Nets 4-1 as they were swept by the Nets in the 82-game Trek which meant absolutely nothing. King James exploded for 49 points in Game #4 with the series 2-1 Heat as that was the nail in the coffin. A well-rested bunch as they embark on a Three-Peat.

#GOLDswagger how they got here: 

The Pacers wanted Home Court and is has not been very beneficial to them. They are 3-4 in the first two rounds at the Bankers Life Field House having lost to twice to both the Hawks and Wizards. Now they get the Champs at home for the first two games and that switch the Pacers are looking for has not been there. Can Indy get back to playing Pacers Basketball or is that long gone?

#HEATnation to win Series:  

The Heat must be able to keep the floor spread for King James and Wade County to operate and at the same time the Shooters must take advantage of solid looks. King James must be in Attack Mode and the Heat must get out in Transition to create some splash plays. Bosh needs to be a factor and the Rebounding Margin must be close. All Heat Players in a Supporting Role have to contribute when called upon.

#PACERnation to win Series: 

They must go through David West their best player and #1 Option hands down. They don't need to play Hero Ball as PG-24 tries to size up King James at every opportunity. Evan Turner needs to be inserted into the Rotation playing heavy minutes to keep the Pacers "Big" and versatile. Lance Stephenson need to play under control but that's like asking Dairy Queen to quit making Ice Cream. CJ Watson, Luis Scola, and Evan Turner must have valuable roles off the bench or the Pacers will lose 4-1! I do not trust the Pacers Starters to get it done completely!

WINNER: HEAT 4-1...Pacers having issues and those issues come to a head in the E.C.F...
