Pacers Lose Game Two vs. Heat: Tweets of the Night
By Jalen Bishop
“God doesn’t hate Cleveland.” – God. It’s Game 2. Relive it through tweets.
1ST QUARTER
Haslem starts on Hibbert, Bosh starts on West. As was expected for Game 1.
— Ethan J. Skolnick, 5 Reasons Sports (@EthanJSkolnick) May 21, 2014
Battier out.
Udonis Haslem has never missed a shot against the Pacers. Surprised Spo didn't factor that into his Game 1 starting lineup.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 21, 2014
Are we really going to watch another Haslem mid-range performance where he hits like nine shots?
Lance has had 3 plays deflected so far. Luckily only 1 TO
— Nate Duncan (@NateDuncanNBA) May 21, 2014
Chalmers with the first attempt at the rim. 8-8.
LeBron James has struggled to contain his man on-ball all season. Thought he'd break that habit by now.
— Tom Haberstroh (@tomhaberstroh) May 21, 2014
He’s been pretty bad defending this year.
Bosh has so many "What are you doing?!" plays against Indiana
— Ethan Strauss (@SherwoodStrauss) May 21, 2014
A dumb goaltending and a missed layup that went five feet over the rim.
"HAND DOWN, MAN DOWN!" -- Mark Jackson. I missed that.
— Jovan Buha (@jovanbuha) May 21, 2014
So did I. 16-10 Pacers.
Lance Stephenson has balls as big as Minny's new NFL arena.
— Dave “Mortgages” Searle (@MillerTimePod) May 21, 2014
Lance a make her dance.
PAY LANCE STEPHENSON. GIVE HIM A PEN.
— Pacers de l'Indiana France (@PacersFrance) May 21, 2014
France.
Mahinmi verticality doing the exact same thing Roy-at-his-best doe: Forcing an overly dramatic attempt that misses.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 21, 2014
LeBron is mortal?
Narrow lead for Pacers after first quarter, 21-20. Stephenson leads the way with 9 points, LeBron just 1/4 FG's. Paul George 1/6
— Shane Young (@YoungNBA) May 21, 2014
Stars shooting “meh”. End of the first.
2ND QUARTER
Rasual Butler, not Evan Turner, for Indiana.
— Ethan J. Skolnick, 5 Reasons Sports (@EthanJSkolnick) May 21, 2014
Don’t read the article I posted three days ago.
4 points, 6 rebounds. 32-29
Heat 6/13 from midrange, 2/2 in the lane non-RA, 3/7 RA
— Nate Duncan (@NateDuncanNBA) May 21, 2014
Heat living outside.
The Pacers are 1-for-11 from mid-range, 4-for-17 from outside the paint overall.
— John Schuhmann (@johnschuhmann) May 21, 2014
Pacers stats at this point.
Third foul on West. This could be catastrophic given The Scola Situation.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 21, 2014
Scola’s foot speed is slow.
Did Lance and Paul George switch brains on offense or something?
— Jon Washburn (@DeanOfMortgages) May 21, 2014
Lance is smarter at this point.
That’s mean.
41-37 at the half.
HALFTIME
The big question. You got fired on your day off.
Know many people like discussing refs more than hoops, but really isn't why Pacers are 9-for-32 (28.1%) over past 18 mins. Offense sucks.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 21, 2014
People are weird, Jared.
3RD QUARTER
LeBron in a great stance, eats up the space on the shot fake. Forces a toughie.
— Nate Duncan (@NateDuncanNBA) May 21, 2014
Best defensive sequence tonight.
Wade leaks out prematurely. Two ORBs later, MR. WEST is grinding on the box. BUCKETS. They're happening.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 21, 2014
47-45 Pacers
LET. LANCE. LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
— Nilla Nillanovic (@JayNilla) May 21, 2014
Lance is going off. 51-50 Pacers.
Lance tweets the rest of the night.
Sometimes you look up and Durant has 40. A quiet KD 40 is regular. This is a loud 23 from Lance. Feels like 40.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 21, 2014
Feels like it.
I guess the Heat have found the… (monocle)… Hot Corner… Y333333AAAAAAHHHHHH!
— Zach Harper (@talkhoops) May 21, 2014
Terrible. 63-62 Indy.
Well, that's how quickly two 3-pointers can inch you closer. Miami uses two corner triples to come within 63-62 heading into the 4th
— Shane Young (@YoungNBA) May 21, 2014
To the fourth.
4TH QUARTER
Good decision by George not to attack Battier - he was never going to attempt defense...flop time.
— Jon Washburn (@DeanOfMortgages) May 21, 2014
Derek Fisher > Shane Battier.
Scola out here making clutch drives like we knew he would.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 21, 2014
Always believed.
Minimal rest for Pacers starters in the 2nd half. They're all-in on this game.
— John Schuhmann (@johnschuhmann) May 21, 2014
70-69 Pacers.
Why not really, Paul George. At'll work.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 21, 2014
From way deep.
What would Lance Stephenson's walk-up music be if he was a baseball player.
— alex (@steven_lebron) May 21, 2014
Bring ’em out – T.I.
The turnover bug at the wrong time.
— Nilla Nillanovic (@JayNilla) May 21, 2014
These are the Pacers I know. 82-77 Heat.

Whoa.
Gonna be a long series... BUT CUE THE OVERREACTION!
— Ben Gibson (@CowboyOnPatrol) May 21, 2014
Overreaction? Heat in 5.
Jigga G Hill for 3. 4-point game. Fieldhouse half empty.
— 8 Points, 9 Seconds (@8pts9secs) May 21, 2014
Are we going to make fun of Pacer fans like we do the Heat? Or is that not the cool thing to do?
From 2:45 mark in 3rd Quarter: LeBron + Wade 24, Indiana Pacers 23.
— Tom Haberstroh (@tomhaberstroh) May 21, 2014
That’s the game. 1-1.
