What was Indiana doing? Where was Roy Hibbert? LeBron James' far-too-easy Game 1-winning layup at the buzzer raised many questions. Rob Mahoney breaks down the final play.

The Heat and Pacers needed OT to settle Game 1, where LeBron James's buzzer-beater showed Paul George how it's done and gave Miami the 103-102 win, says Ian Thomsen.

I don't know if this is a bad NBA draft or just a mediocre one that's been overly maligned, but I'm certain that it's an easy one for GMs to botch. There are no locks for stardom and only a few for starter-dom. There will be a few shrewd picks and far more flops, and no one will know on draft night which is which. Kentucky center Nerlens Noel is likely to go No. 1 because of his projectable defensive value, yet the Cavaliers are so enamored with him that they're already shopping their pick. When a frail center with limited offensive ability -- who's coming off an ACL tear and won't be available to play until Christmas -- is atop most big boards, it does not say much for the projectability of the rest of the Class of 2013.
