Yeah I would agree with that. Hansbrough has a lot of heart though so I woul keep him around but making some bench moves could help them a lot.

See? Yelling at Spoelstra helps. Since Wade chewed his ass out they went 3 straight and scored like mad.

I forgot about Jones. Basically, Collison is the only player on the Pacers bench that is good. When the Pacers went to their bench, the Heat did very well and the Heat aren't exactly deep.

Spoelstra actually made a good adjustment in game 4 that was huge for the rest of the series. He moved the PNRs to the 3 point line to force the Pacers bigs out of the paint. That helped Wade a ton.

It was definitely a liability but they also made a lot of mistakes that cost them tonight especially. The turnovers obviously but why they didn't go inside more is something that will eat at them all summer. They were doing so well in the paint and then went away from it. They should have just kept feeding it inside until Miami was forced to double and then go outside for 3s. They really fucked that up.

They'll be better at it next year when they sign Eric Gordon.

Here's the thing. The Pacers shot about 50% from the floor. Miami's fronting strategy means the Pacers have to complete multiple precise passes to get the ball in the post. Basically, the Heat made those passes very tough and produced a bunch of turnovers.
