Without intending to do so, I picked Pac-12 guys as the most overrated and most underrated prospects in the draft.

DWade did not foul George on 3-pt attempt, so George should not have gotten 3 FTs and hence, taken the lead for Indy.

Frank Vogel is a terrific coach. He's taking way too much heat today (no pun intended). I would've had Roy in,but Vogel rationale was sound

Considering way Heat shot FTs, I'd at least foul LeBron hard to avoid &-1, made him make 2 shots from line instead of 1 pt-blank at rim
