There are two games on Thursday:
Miami at Indiana Game 3 - Series tied 1-1
LA Clippers at San Antonio Game 2 - Spurs lead 1-0
With Bosh out, I thought Heat vs Pacers s series would last longer than otherwise, but I did not think that Pacers would win in Miami. Both 76ers and Pacers achieved home field advantage by winning against teams that many of us thought would play in eastern conference finals. Playoffs got even better.
It’s sad that LeBron James is such a talented player and we won’t miss attacking him when something goes wrong. Most of us find all reasons we can to blame James whenever his team loses. After Tuesday’s loss everyone is talking about James choking, missing free throws and passing ball to his team mates in last couple of possessions. May be because he is such a talented player that no one wants to miss as opportunity to criticize him.
Anyways this blog is about picking players for drive to the finals so let’s talk about Thursday’s pick. Though Pacers won second game in Miami and Bosh is out for a while, I still think that Heat would advance, but I won’t be shocked if Pacers would advance. So I am not touching anyone from this match-up on Thursday especially when I know that both teams from Los Angeles are playing against very good teams and probability of LA teams going home is higher. So I am picking Blake Griffin based on my assumption that they would be eliminated in this round.
