The Best Of Three, Who Are You Taking?

    Miami took games one and three, while the Pacers took claim to games two and four, the question is simple with three games remaining in the series.

    Who are you taking?

    With Miami being the higher seed of the two, the Heat will get two of the three games played on their home-court of American Airlines Arena.

    Both teams have won a game on the others respective home floor, so the home-court advantage arguement can be thrown out the window.

    You can make a case for both teams on who should and will win the series, now the series has officially begun.

    LeBron James has been the most consistent player on the floor, but James alone will not be enough to win the series, that means Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh must come to play, or there's a good chance they can go home.

    Indiana has one thing going for them and that's "belief", they believe they can beat the Miami Heat.

    They have found a formula they believe that can lead them to the NBA Finals, when Hibbert can remain out of foul trouble, Indiana can keep James out of the paint.

    In Miami's wins James made a living in the paint, getting the higher percentage shot attempts he wanted, but in game four when Hibbert remained in the game, that kept James out of the paint.

    Indiana can live with James taking long contested jump shots, thats exactly want they want for him to do.

    This can work because with Wade and Bosh have been playing mediocre basketball at best, and the supporting cast of the Heat has not been performing as expected.

    At the same time I can make an arguement for Miami, in a sense that Indiana struggles at times to score baskets with Miami's pressure defense.

    In a best of three series LeBron James has enough talent and skill to win one if not two of the three, but he shouldn't have to, thats why he has two other teammates that makes up the "Big 3".

    Indiana has a team that can dethrown the defending champs, but will Paul George and Roy Hibbert be enough to get it done?

    Something has to give and we'll know by the end of the day, tip-off for tonight's game is scheduled for 8:30.

    Who are you taking?
