Is t me or has Oden put on some weight since we last seen him ?

Or is it the beard that makes him look thicker?

It's difficult to describe just how deflated the scene was inside the visitors' locker room. As reality sank in that the season ended well short of expectations for the 56-win team that held the No. 1 seed in the East, the Pacers were things they hadn't been all series.

Humbled.

Quiet.

Sullen.

Sadly accepting that their best, despite three seasons of motivation, isn't good enough. Not against James and the Heat. Not back then, not now, probably not ever.

"We know what they're going to do in these moments," Pacers forward David West said of the Heat as he slumped into his stall and stared at the floor. "And [we] weren't able to, again, match what they're capable of. I thought they just were the better team. We got right back to where we got to last year, and they're just a better team. They've got a gear that we can't get to."

I still have confidence that Oden and Beasley can contribute to this team next season. This was like their rookie year with us.

basically the same thing happened to Shard last year. He played some during the season, was ghost most of the time in the playoffs. Then this season was asked to step up more for us. So i would agree with you.

after not playing pro ball for 4 years. it takes time to get up the level of where the Heat play. plus the Heat's system isn't the easiest to learn

Yup, this off season will be a fun one. Just to watch the Godfather retool & see what pieces he puts together, outside of the Big 3.

Win or lose, I hope Beasley gains 10 lbs of muscle while Wade loses 10 lbs. With Oden getting healthy, if we get all 3 of these guys back with Lebron and Bosh and other role players we'll be good.

you and these 10 pounds of muscle My main concern with Michael is that he picks up the defense well enough to be on the floor

figuring that Melo coming to Miami is a pipe dream I could see the rotation next season being

C Oden
PF Bosh
SF James
SG Wade
PG Chalmers

C Andersen
PF Beasley
SF Ennis (Miller if Allen comes back)
SG Miller(or Allen if he comes back)
PG Cole

you dont think Riles signs any FAs?


edit: watching some reruns of the ECF. i want to give a shout out to Grover Da Gawd. He has Wade ballin in this post season. Just great to see Wade healthy again & not struggling like these past two runs.

I kinda like that we don't have the home court... If we win there we in good shape... If we win two there
