Has anyone been watching? The Pacers - Heat series has been fantastic and was tied up 3-3 tonight with the deciding game 7 coming in Miami on Monday. Miami have the superstars but Indiana have the guts and defensive organization. It's been brutal and beautiful. The winners will probably go on and win the NBA finals. Gripping stuff.

I'm not massively familiar with NBA, but I have been following it from afar. How is it structured? It seems a very odd way of winning a tournament.

Who do you support? Does Houston have a team? Are they any good?

I'm a Pacer fan, they are my local team. Houston has the Rockets, they're pretty average at the moment. The teams are split into 3 divisions in 2 conferences and the top 8 teams in each conference play off against each other on a straight elimination basis. The Pacers and Heat are the top 2 teams left in the East and are playing off over 7 games to get to the finals where they will play the San Antonio Spurs.

I so hope the Heat get beat tonight.

Wade might as well just send in a sick note and Bosh is too short and skinny against the likes of Hibbert.

Its LBJ V The Pacers....and I wouldnt be surprised if there's an upset!

I hope you're right. The whole city will be watching in an hour willing the Pacers to send Le Bron home.

Yeah, it was pretty sad. Paul George had a shocker as did big Roy. Still, they had a brilliant season and it all bodes well for next year with Danny coming back and a new point guard being acquired.

yep - just set up NBA game time on my plasma for the live game.

I think you're right - but I'd so love the Spurs to take it....you never know!

Just stuck £50 on Spurs!
