    Pacers excited about their future & should be. But interesting decision on Hibbert. Did not play like a 10-12M a year player in this series

    Wonder if the Pacers, with a roaming Hibbert, helped Heat should they play Boston and KG, who ignores Heat centers not named Bosh.

    For those asking, I caught up w/ Chris Bosh yesterday and I'd be stunned if he played in Gm 1 Monday. Hasn't even stepped on the court yet.

    What's crazy is that Wade wasn't getting easy shots. He just made them all.

    Can't say enough about Dwyane's "recovery" after a rough first few game and an epic disaster in Game 3. He's been unreal since. 105-93 Miami

    Dwyane Wade's 17-for-25 (68 percent) marks the highest shooting percentage with 20+ shots in franchise playoff history.

    I didn't think LeBron & Wade could go for 70 again...they "only" scored 68. Phenomenal game by Wade. They can thank PHI for extra rest now.
