My take on the action. I have to go and may not be back for a day or so. In a hurry so veiwer discretion is advised. 
In the 1st game, Artest did very well headache and all to make a number of somewhat hard shots and score 25 while bringing a monster defense. Tinsley had one of the best playoff performances of his career in Game One, making 6-of-7 shots from the floor, including 5-of-6 from the arc. Indiana did open the game with a bit of rust and may come out and dominate here. I think a more likely situation will be Indy letting down their guard a bit defensively and Miami, not intimidated, coming with their heart and speed. A lot of trends strongly favoring Indy here. A possible "football" type wager for me...
I think the Kings do it to them again. Minny does not have the inside presence or enough players to hit the outside shot ala Dallas to hurt the Kings. The only real downfall in this one will be the Kings themselves. Stoyawhatever still really hasn't woken up and they got a million free throws last game. IMO, Minny played the lazy game last time fouling a lot and firing away from the outside. Todays NBA=LAZY. Both teams shot decently from the floor, awesome from the line with the clock stopped, Cassel was unconscious from the arch, and there were minimal turnovers to all help contribute to the over. I really think this one may be more of a defensive battle with the Kings ability to score from the field and the line along with the better inside presence keeping them right in this. Hoping the Kings don't take this one off. They are the better playoff team here. It really doesn't surprise me that Cassel was the only player, along with the Kings, that was playoff ready. A lot off strong trends for Minny coming off a loss. Kings "in good form" right now.
Laugh away you psychos...
