The Philadelphia 76ers, precocious and premature. The New York Knicks? Clearly not ready for prime time, extinguished properly in five games.</description><pubDate>Sat, 26 May 2012 15:09:54 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Trash talk and takedowns aside, time for Granger to step up</title><link>http://www.nba.com/2012/news/features/steve_aschburner/05/24/ind-mia-game-6-advance/index.html</link><description>Danny Granger started this. Danny Granger can end it. Maybe not in storybook fashion, but certainly better than it stands right now.</description><pubDate>Thu, 24 May 2012 11:29:06 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Pacers have better shot if Hibbert can avoid foul trouble</title><link>http://www.nba.com/2012/news/features/steve_aschburner/05/22/pacers-heat-game-5-hibbert/index.html</link><description>Different coaches have different views on handling their key players' foul trouble. Some go precisely by the so-called book: Out in the first quarter with foul No. 2, out in the second with No. 3 and so on. Others freelance it, factoring in a player's history and ability to stay effective without fouling, the style of play that night (physical?) and maybe even their guy's reputation with officials and juice as a marquee guy.</description><pubDate>Tue, 22 May 2012 11:12:36 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Heat win puts desperation on Pacers' shoulders</title><link>http://www.nba.com/2012/news/features/steve_aschburner/05/20/game-four-follow/index.html</link><description>If the Miami Heat were to lose at this point, two rounds in, they would be mocked and ridiculed. They would spend their offseason not so much living near South Beach as dwelling in a world of grief. The questions, criticism, rumors and "nyah, nyah's" would be endless, and they know it.</description><pubDate>Sun, 20 May 2012 22:06:23 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>George is all about growth, both physically and with game</title><link>http://www.nba.com/2012/news/features/steve_aschburner/05/19/paul-george-growth/index.html</link><description>Paul George got some attention at the start of this NBA season through no fault or credit of his own. It was due way more to Paul and Paulette George, his parent, and the vertical physiology that runs through their family.</description><pubDate>Sat, 19 May 2012 10:54:44 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Heat's plate piling up with plenty of new concerns</title><link>http://www.nba.com/2012/news/features/steve_aschburner/05/18/heat-game-3-burning/index.html</link><description>The glass on the fire-extinguisher doors in the vicinity of the vistors' locker room survived unscathed Thursday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, so there's that for the Miami Heat.</description><pubDate>Fri, 18 May 2012 18:49:18 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Pacers focused on Game 3 and keeping pressure on Heat</title><link>http://www.nba.com/2012/news/features/steve_aschburner/05/16/pacers-heat-g3-preview/index.html</link><description>Dwyane Wade didn't like what he felt was some needless celebrating on the Miami Heat's court by the visitors Tuesday night, after the Indiana Pacers' 78-75 victory in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinals series at AmericanAirlines Arena.</description><pubDate>Thu, 17 May 2012 00:52:20 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Granger hopes to apply lessons learned from Game 1</title><link>http://www.nba.com/2012/news/features/steve_aschburner/05/15/danny-granger/index.html</link><description>Danny Granger lived through one of those playoff nightmares in Game 1 against the Miami Heat on Sunday. The Indiana Pacers' acknowledged leader and best player, Granger shot the basketball 10 times and missed nine. He scored 11 points below his season average in a game Indiana lost by nine. He saw the man he was guarding, LeBron James, explode for 26 points in the second half as if no one was guarding him.</description><pubDate>Tue, 15 May 2012 11:47:17 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Missed opportunities in Game 1 could haunt Pacers</title><link>http://www.nba.com/2012/news/features/steve_aschburner/05/13/heat-pacers-game-1/index.html</link><description>Chris Bosh was lost by halftime, done for the night, but the Miami Heat didn't miss him at all.
