James and the Heat beat Indiana in six games last season.
LeBron James responded to comments from Pacers coach Frank Vogel Sunday. Vogel had referred to the Miami Heat as “just another team.”
“We’re not just another team,” James said. “I don’t understand what he’s saying. But we’re not just another team. That’s not true. He said we’re just another team in their way. We’re a great team. If we’re just another team, you really don’t prepare for just another team. You have to prepare for us.”
The Heat and Pacers begin their playoff series Wednesday night. The two teams have a contentious history having met in the postseason last year. Miami won that series in six games.
“We’ll be ready for them,” James said.
