So far, we have been treated to great playoff games. The Heat and Pacers have battled until the final second of both games so far in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Heat escaped with a Game 1 victory thanks to LeBron James and poor coaching from Frank Vogel. Though this error was expected to linger, the Pacers showed great poise and won Game 2 to even up the series.
Between Roy Hibbert, Paul George and David West, it's hard to point out which is having the better series as this trio is keeping up with the Heat. Hibbert and West have the paint on lock on defense and offense, while George is a headache on the perimeter and from time to time, he'll drive to the hoop and posterize a couple of players. Just ask Chris Andersen as the Birdman couldn't get enough air under him to prevent an and-1 as George mercilessly brought down the jam over Andersen.
Hibbert has completely debilitated the Heat's game in the paint and he's scoring. In retrospect, maybe even a completely healthy Tyson Chandler wouldn't have done much to stop this juggernaut. Hibbert's jump hook is unstoppable and it's so consistent that it's become a deadly part of his game. West's emotions and hustle are left all over the court. Look for this trio to become invigorated as they head home to face the Heat.
The Heat haven't been playing their game, which is knocking down threes. The Pacers' perimeter defense is ridiculous. If they can't start hitting threes, then the Heat will be in trouble.
