    Both the Heat and the Pacers are playing pretty drecky right now. However, you can completely tell that the Heat are on cruise control waiting for the playoffs. They really don't care if the Pacers "win" the East in the regular season.

    I had the Pacers for most of the season before this recent slump. Can't really blame it on not being motivated like Miami's issue. I think they can still beat the Heat but I am taking dynasty beach as of right now.

    I will say that Dallas I think could fuck up a few teams sleeping in the playoffs if Dirk plays like he did last night.

    For some of you, that are extremely short sighted and like to think that whatever is happening right now is the greatest thing ever, this game will feature the greatest player of all time (who has as many rings as lost Finals) vs his only competition in the Eastern Conference.

    Some people say that the NBA regular season is meaningless. There's actually a lot you can learn if you know what you're looking for. I believe this game is a chance for us to learn something. If the Heat win, at Indiana, the Eastern Conference is over. The Pacers have to have home court advantage and they have to believe that they will beat Miami at home.

    Blue Collar. Gold Swag.

    You mean like in 2011, when the Lakers beat the Mavericks by 28 at the end of March and then got swept by the Mavs in the playoffs?

    The Heat lost 3 times in April to the Celtics in 2012, yet beat them in a 7 game series in the playoffs. Regular season match ups never have, and never will mean anything.

    Silly. You don't think I can find random regular season games that match up with what happened in the playoffs?

    I said there's a lot you can learn, if you know what you're looking for. Not ZOMG EVERY GAME IS A FUCKING PREDICTION AND WILL BARE OUT EXACTLY WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE PLAYOFFS!!!

    I think this specific game will be telling because we'll find out if the Pacers are bored or on cruise control or if there's something actually wrong. If they can't turn it back on for this game they're in big trouble. And as much as everyone says the Heat are throwing away home court, check the standings. See what happens if Miami wins this game. This game is huge.

    If Indiana wins tonight I'm still picking the Heat over them in the playoffs. If the Heat win tonight I'm still picking the Heat over them in the playoffs.

    This game will be fun to watch but to take anything from a regular season game in March is FS.

    Yea I see Indiana winning tonight because Allen is out and Wade has missed the last 2 as well. Miami will still beat them in the playoffs though.

    This game means more to Indiana than it does Miami. The Bulls have won every regular season series against Miami the past three years yet Miami is 8-2 against them in the postseason.

    The Lakers with Shaq-Kobe used to do this too which is why they only had the Western Conference best record only once(their title) year. After that they simply would go on cruise control.

    There is nothing to look for other than to enjoy a game in which both teams should play hard. It doesn't really matter if there is something wrong or not because there is close to a month left in the season, and an easy first round series to get it right.

    I've learned that Lebron is the best player on the court and that the Heat can't stop Hibbert as they lack size. Oh wait I already knew that.

    APAG, I'll say this I did learn that Haslem is still alive and well. So I did learn something from watching this game.

    The rest of the game is what you'll see in a 7 game series.

    Chalmers is either horrible or great. Never a middle for him. Today he is terrible and next meeting wouldn't be shocked if he was terrific.
