Definitely! I love that the Pacers, who have such a solid and hard working team, are putting the 'hollywood as hell' Heat to the test. A lot of great team play, some spectacular individual plays, questionable calls and great competition! Lotta fun to watch!

Yes, I hope 7 is a great game like the series. While I hope the Pacers continue to surge, it is hard to go against the odds of the Heat prevailing.

But for the Finals; LBJ is a blast to watch thunder down the lane, but I'd prefer and feel a Pacers vs. Spurs Final would be a better series to watch.

Not big into basketball but my wife got me started with liking the Mavs, and absolutely hating the Heat! Hope they fall in the next game.

Cleveland fan here and rooting for Indiana. Its been hard watching the JV teams compete against the varsity the past few years. When are they just going to cut the league down to 10-12 teams. All the stars go play for the same team anyway. Just cut loose all the small market teams and create a minors basketball league. Those teams are already developing players for the larger market teams. I will take baseball/football anyday over this joke league.

I agree with the disparity between teams, but Indy is a great example of a strong small market. Not to mention GS, Mempis and the Spurs. .02

Then again I'm biased, NBA is my favorite profesional league.

Great series so far. I am a die hard Lakers (insert jabs here fellas) fan. Raised in LA and growing up went to Magic camp, Ceballos camp, Van Exel camp, etc.

I am a huge fan of basketball...and I think this series is a great testament to the fact that even the NBA is a team game. The Pacers (oh how I miss Reggie and Smits) have a team mentality that really shows in their defense while the Heat are much more of an ISO and two-man team. It just goes to show that even in basketball...money and talent don't necessarily guarantee a championship.

I wanted to see OKC vs Pacers. I'm a huge Kevin Durant fan since he was at Texas! Hook 'em Horns! Westbrook going down devastated the offense. There is always next year!

I do like how Durant stayed with the Thunder instead of running off to a bigger market team with a few other superstars. Lots of respect for him. I am a huge basketball fan just hard for me to like the NBA. I guess after the Cavs get the first pick this year, we will start building our team back up and start being more competitive again.
