Series Thread: 5) Indiana Pacers vs. 4) Cleveland Cavaliers

This game is at 1pm Sunday? That's some bullshit. How is this not primetime? Or at the very least, the 3:30 game.

Because the other game is in Houston.
To start at 1 EST, it would be a noon start there.

I don't know, but I am pumped about it!

Have a family thing at 4. Thought for sure it would be in direct conflict.

While I would love to be able to watch Rockets/Jazz game 1, this Cleveland game is sure to be the biggest game of the 1st 2 rounds. Who do you all think the Raptors are pulling for?

tough call, but as much as Cleveland's been a waking nightmare in recent years i'd THINK they'd root for them...

why? because LeClown's squad is showing they're trash outside of him...

Still though.

LeBron presents a mental hurdle that I think they would rather not face. They match up pretty well with Indiana.

I would be very surprised if the Cavs lose tomorrow. The Raptors series is going to be really tough for the Cavs this year. I wonder if Lebron will be playing 48 minutes a game in that series.

Shouldn't need to with all of that depth.

Wrong thread but guess how many shits I give.

CELTICS IN SEVEN!!!

 

[trojanfan12]

No doubt. Even with a win tomorrow, the Cavs would be going into a series against the best team in the east with what would likely be an all-time low in confidence. Conversely, Raptors would be going into the series with an all-time high in confidence in terms of going against LeBron. Will be a very tough 2nd round if they get there.

Cavs can't waste a second of concern on that right now though.

The Raptors SHOULD win the series (assuming the Cavs win today). But they are also scared to death of Lebron. Maybe seeing what the Pacers have done will help them with their Lebronaphobia. But I'm gonna have to see it to believe it.

@tlance

How dare you tell me to chill out? If I was anymore mellower right now I'd fall asleep. Good thing I'm not leaving the house today. Anyone else have cottonmouth right now?

"We have to continue to let [Love] know how important he is to our success,” James said. “If we want to have any success in a Game 7 or to move on to the next round, Kev has to be a big part of that."

Its no secret that Kevin has struggled this series, so there's no point in pretending otherwise. Think those comments were about LeBron trying to incite a good performance out of Love tomorrow, not about directing blame.

With Love's hand and now head injury, though, not sure words are what he needs to get on track. Probably worth a try, though.

I have no issue with Lebron saying that to Kevin Love. I do think he shouldn't be saying it to the press. Not because he's wrong, he's not. But because it sets Love up to be blamed, not to mention, if the Cavs do lose, it will be twisted into Lebron blaming Love.

 

[trojanfan12]

They asked him about KEVIN LOVE struggles

Just because he was asked, doesn't mean he has to give a real answer.

All of them?

So will you & @ChiefsLakers67 be wearing your Tristan Thompson jerseys for today's game 7?

 

[trojanfan12]

You haven't watched a minute of this series have you? He should be playing better? Stop commenting in the NBA threads. Here are his #'s in this series.

32.7 ppg, 10.3 rebs, 7.8 asts, 1.2 blks, 1.0 stls (.536 FG% / .839 FT%)

Dude's a slacker.

 

[Wamu]

Dude's a slacker.

I don't know who (or what) to blame. His fading hairline, Dan Gilbert, Kevin Love, Obama?

 

[trojanfan12]

You really need to do something about that hate. Not even @ChiefsLakers67 is this bad

How much does a large cup of that shit cost, 19.95? I don't drink coffee, last cup I had was probably about 25 years ago.
