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

[OregonDucks]

Just admit you hate the guy and you will never give him credit for anything.

This comment is just stupid

I do not like him at all and will never give him credit.

It was a good shot, good make, but you can't argue the mentality that it's easier to be the guy to take the last shot when you know you aren't losing if you miss.

 

[LAD]

Thats neither here nor there, he made the shot. Give them the bucket, Cavs still win.

I have no problem with a made shot, it's the cheating I can't get on board with. That's two games now where they've been robbed. SMH

Consequences of missing the final shot in this game when you're down 1 or 2 points.

You lose
You go down 3-2 in the series and are on the brink of elimination going to Indiana.

Consequences of missing the final shot in this game when it's tied.

You play an extra 5 minutes at home.

2-2 series game 5 at home....Indiana clearly had all the momentum at the point and the game going to OT would have favored them.

Lebron also was already at 42 minute carrying all the weight

The LBJ haters are amazing.

Game being tied with 3 seconds to go is no longer a pressure situation LMFAOOO

But he missed, you guys would have said he "choked"

Ok, dude has never been hurt, had played 40 minutes in this game carrying all the weight and also had played in like 42 minutes in game 1, 2,3, and 4......Please, lets not use fatigue as an achievement for LeBron. The guy doesn't get hurt and doesn't get tired.

 

[bksballer89]

I really hate that you guys have me defending LBJ every freaking postseason due to the outrageous comments.

 

[DorianRo]

3-6 coming up

Enjoy the "title" now. I wonder if LeBron can handle losing another finals or if he tanks Round 2-3

 

[OregonDucks]

I'm 4 years younger than LeBron and I cramp up going to get my mail.

 

[Mecca]

You sure about that?

Many here seem to be struggling with simple math today.

Anything to slight James.

If the basket counted, the Cavs still would have called timeout.

Unless the belief is the Pacers would have just fouled, which they would not have done up two, they'd still take the L.

@Inimical to answer your earlier question, Jeff Green was the one who inbounded the ball

 

[OregonDucks]

You Heat fans defend him no matter what, I don't know why, you take him away from the Heat during his 4 year stint (although he claimed he'd win 8 titles in that parade) and Miami probably still wins 2 rings with Wade Bosh and co.

The one, the only, King of the NBA.

Simple fact: It's easier to take a game winning shot when the game is tied than when you're down 1 or 2 points.

All NBA fans with a brain will defend with the comments that you guys make about him.

And no Miami was never winning 2 rings with just Wade, Bosh, and some role players.

That team ceiling was low 50 wins and a 2nd round exit

 

[bksballer89]

You really can't argue with stupid people

I'm sure this quote will be floating across the bottom of my screen on the ESPN ticker the 1,001 times they show this highlight in the next 24hrs.

 

[LAD]

Probably the same.

The Cavs called timeout.

We don't know that. What we do know is that plays are called differently based on if your winning or losing. I just don't like the cheating. But you know I have no problem giving props when they're due.
