Big night for Indiana.
We all know the story line about Larry Bird calling them soft. The hidden story though is the pressure on Pacer's coach Frank Vogel. Everyone focuses on Bird's comments as being towards the players but I see it as being directed towards the coach.
When Indiana was winning, they were controlling the paint and the tempo and not letting LeBron and Wade get into the open court where they thrive. The last 2 games, the Pacers have not done that and of course have lost.
Look for a very focused effort tonight from the Pacers starting with the head coach as they get back to the game plan that was successful.
Top Pick
Indiana +2.5 and the Pacers should get the straight up win.
