Pacers Crowd Has A New Flop-Based Nickname For Miami

Ricky O'Donnell has covered basketball at all levels for more than a decade at SB Nation. He’s currently the Associate Director of Programming.

With Dwayne Wade at the free throw line late in the second quarter, the crowd at Bankers Life Fieldhouse started a chant that the ESPN announcers -- and SB Nation’s team of bloggers, for that matter -- had never heard before: “He’s-A-Flopper.”

The Indy faithful brought signs, too.

Points for the creativity, particularly on the chant, but after the way Wade imparted his will on the second quarter, the Pacers might need to try something different. Wade has 26 points on 11-of-16 shooting.

The Pacers lead 53-51 at the half.
