2013 Eastern Conference Semifinals PREVIEW: Heat v Pacers

Sorry for not keeping up with this blog as of late. Finals, family vacation, and irrepressibly boring playoff series got in the way. BUT WE'RE BACK BABY.

To recap the Heat's first two series...well, so the Heatles and Co. beat the Bucks, which was expected and kind of dull. Then the injury-depleted Bulls came to town, and some people thought this would be exciting because the bastards beat the Heat to end The Win Streak, but then what most people thought would happen happened and it took 5 games and lots of annoying pushing and shoving to extinguish the Derrick Rose-led Bulls. Oh yeah, and Derrick Rose is a wimp.

So here we are with those pesky Indiana Pacers, who, if you don't remember, gave Miami some small fits last season, going up 2-1 before losing three in a row once Dwyane Wade decided to give a shit. Also, last year's series gave us this:

Also, this series is somewhat interesting because anytime there's an opportunity to beat David West, Paul George, Hibbert, and the ever-so-ornery Frank Vogel it's fun. Also, Frank Vogel sucks. Because of the Pacer's irrelevance, I forget about how much I hate Vogel and focus my deserved hatred too much upon the Penguin. But, Vogel is easily the most unlikable coach in the league and he is the worst. And he talks a ton of crap. But alas, we must again go through that dung-hole state of Indiana on our way to the Finals, so be it. At least we don't have to look at Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer's ugly faces or Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings' tattoos and inefficient shot selections any longer.
