NBA Playoffs Finals 2013: Indiana Pacers Roy Hibbert Lashes Out At Miami Heat and Shane Battier For Kneeing Groin In ECF As Game 2 Friday at 8:30

May 24, 2013 09:28 AM EDT

The Miami Heat took Game 1 after some fantastic play from LeBron James and after he was able to make the game winning basket in overtime as time expired on a last second layup that was uncontested, coach Frank Vogel got some criticism for not having Roy Hibbert on the court and now he has hit Twitter to talk about some other plays in the game.

Hibbert was frustrated after the game and wrote on Twitter that Shane Battier kneed him in the groin area on purpose, but that won't stop him from coming back at the next game. Hibbert was frustrated after the loss and could be seen on the bench and now the Pacers must rally to win the series, unlike last year when they took a 2-1 lead before Miami won three straight games. The Heat are looking like champs again and after Paul George made three free throws it looked like the Pacers would win, but James took it into his own hands and won the game.

Hibbert wrote on Twitter: "U can knee or kick me every time u drive 2the rim. Ill be there 2protect the rim. That wasn't inadvertent. Battier knew what he was doing"
