Pacers Heat Game 3 Preview and Predictions

As we watch the NBA's Eastern Conference Finals we are left with some questions. Why are the Miami Heat having so many problems with the Indiana Pacers. There are a couple of reasons for this. The first is the Pacers size. The Pacers are using their size to their advantage to score and out rebound the Heat. This is taking away the number of chances that the Heat has to score against the Pacers.  

The second reason is that LJ is trying to make plays on the offensive side of the ball for himself and the rest of the Heat. This is not working for the Heat though. Yes, LJ is scoring a lot of points against a great Pacers defense, but what about the rest of the Heat. Instead of running plays through LJ the Heat should be using him as a scorer, and letting their team assist him.

Looking at the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals the Heat could easily be down by two games heading into Indiana. The Heat caught a major break though since they pulled out a game one win by one point. They are now in Indiana, and the Pacers beat the Heat there twice this year.

The Pacers play their best ball as most NBA teams do on their home court. This is why I will give you my prediction of the Pacers, and Heat Game 3. The Pacers and Heat are playing in Indiana and as I have mentioned the Heat lost here twice this year in the regular season. I firmly predict that the Pacers will win Game 3 on their home court.

The reason the Pacers win Game three is the same reason they should be up two games to none in this series already. The Pacers will continue to out rebound the Heat, which will equate to the Pacers having the opportunity to score more than the Heat.

The Pacers will also have the most deadly weapon of any sports team. The Pacers sixth man will make it harder for the Heat to pull this upset off tonight. That’s right I said upset, because the Pacers have proven to play the Heat harder in front of their home crowd.

As tonight’s game ends the Pacers will be up in this series 2-1.
