Starting 5: Heat advance, Clips hobbled & the Hawks owner's choice words for KG

Found May 10, 2012 on Bloguin Best:
PLAYERS: Darren Collison,  Roy Hibbert,  David West,  Chris Bosh,  Paul George,  Chris Paul,  Blake Griffin,  Caron Butler,  Dwyane Wade
TEAMS: Indiana Pacers,  Miami Heat,  Los Angeles Clippers,  Memphis Grizzlies
Every morning, we'll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Miami moves on Give New York some credit, they kept it close for a little while. Miami won by 12 and the game wasn't easy, but the series is over after five games and the Heat can now focus on the Indiana Pacers. We'll save the New York analysis for later. The Pacers are an interesting matchup for the Heat when you consider they have a point guard that can be a big problem in Darren Collison and Roy Hibbert who, if he asserts himself, can give Indy two advantages. If David West can negate Chris Bosh, then we get down to the LeBron/Wade vs. Granger/Paul George combo that, while clearly in Miami's favor, is enough to give you pause. If LeBron or Wade have an off night and Granger/George get hot... well.... Look, I know Miami's the favorite over everyone they face. I'm just saying Indy's going to give them a fight. They'll win at least a couple of ...
