Game 6: Closeout.

   "You don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind, you don't pull the mask off the ol' Lone Ranger and you don't mess around with..." him. Dwyane Wade, that is.

   No UD. No Bosh. No Pittman. No Problem for the Heat as they closed out the Indiana Pacers in Game 6 on Thursday Night in Indianapolis. It was All Wade, All Night. He reminds us what playoff basketball is all about, willing his team to victory by repeatedly driving into the lane, not reacting to the fact that we were getting NO calls whatsoever. Wade gets it done, in style. Just like the hot pink pants he was wearing after. Y'know, I had a hot pink Hot Wheels car when I was a young'un which I always thought was the most bad ass because it was the most audacious. Reckless. Like Wade. Like the pants.

Recap:

Starting off, Lebron is called on a non-goaltend.

Lebron puts it in with a hard not called foul by Granger.

Wade with pretty pivoting.

All night the refs are really hesitating with their whistles.

Wade with a sweet flythrough jam

Great ball movement on a Chalmers 3 but we're calling for them to go inside.

Joel Anthony. Great Two blocks on Mista Tyler.

We just gotta weather the storm here, the Pacers came out high energy and shooting well, hold tight Heaters!

Battier draws a... charrrge

O man Miller. They're Heating up storming back on a 10-0 run. Wade is the backboard's best friend. Does anybody know it better than him?

Here comes the freight train.

Wade is called for an incredible nonexistent foul, didn't even graze him and we're incredulous. You know that's gonna irritate him annnd he comes back with a basket right on cue. "You don't tug on Superman's cape..." as my Dad would say. And a Wade nother!

They are racking up the whining so Let's run

We say Miller looks like he's on the cusp of death, but he starts 3-3 on 3's and ends with 4 of em (on 7 shots) so he's cool with us.

Absolutely atrocious foul call for Granger where he's not even touched.

On another, they show Vogel claiming no foul when it clearly is.

Lebron classic driving lay-in.

Who else is tired of fat cameraman right on the sideline?

Wade has 26 by halftime somehow.

To start the second half we're treated to Lebron icing a shot with no net movement on Granger.

Love all the steals tonight.

Yeah let's trade Wade they said. Amazing

Lebron goes inside at Hibbert we need more of that.

Miller goes for a deep one.

Joel Anthony does a pretty good job of defense on West for a change of pace.

Oh D. West. With the non-basketball plays.

Amazing hook shot by Lebron, and following that Hibbert fouls Lebron multiple times on the same play, as my little brother says "It's like he's playing jacks on Lebron's body"

How many steals did we end up with tonight? 9

Battier gets a needed basket.

Wade knows the glass so well.

He's tearin' it up, breakin' ankles on crossovers. We're swarming the paint. I like it.

He's No Way Wade, I'm always saying No way

The stats at the end of the night actually say they had more paint points, but at the time it seemed to me we were keeping them out of the paint pretty well.

Lebron's goin' in! Wade only shoots six free throws somehow despite seemingly being fouled everytime down

Lebron. At the end. You knew that was goin' in.

Well, much credit to 'Spo. He's made the adjusments. Wade pours 41. With no calls. Now we're looking great, Bosh is on the way back, a weekend of rest. Bring it on
