Series Thread: 2) Cleveland Cavaliers vs 7) Indiana Pacers

[trojanfan12]

tuned in long enough to watch PG13 get kneed in the dick...

I said the other day that the Cavs were gonna dick punch the Pacers. Apparently, the Cavs took that literally. lol

 

[trojanfan12]

George's stock is dropping big time after this game as far as trades go.

lol

 

[trojanfan12]

Paul George with 6 points on 2-10 shooting in an elimination game

Superstar my ass

No overreaction here.

Cleveland allowed indy to shoot 46%, 51%, and 49% in 3 of the 4 games. Have no clue where their defense is improving

Nope actually never thought he was a superstar. My superstar list is very short. I don't think he's a top 10 player. I think he's more in that 11-15 range but the superstar term is used way too much IMO

it's why i asked the question. wasn't gonna get an answer apparently...

 

[bksballer89]

Cleveland DEF EFF was at 114.7 entering the game today. Ranking 15th of 16.

 

[trojanfan12]

If they dont up their D, I dont think they even make it by Washington much less beat the Warriors

They can still get past Washington, even with their crap defense. Their offense is good enough. But it won't be easy and they damn sure won't get away with it against the Warriors or Spurs. If they play the Rockets, it'll go 7, every game will be around 175-173 and it'll be toss up as to who wins.

 

[trojanfan12]

And Cleveland had a big lead going into the 4th off a Pacers squad that looked like it quit. Just to have Lebron hit a 3-pointer to put you in the lead in the final minute.

Mock the critics all you want. The Cavs did zero to impress anyone outside of Cavs fans.

Exactly. I often wonder if any Cavs fan has ever seen an actual game. The one's on here sure as hell haven't.

Well, you're about the only one that doesn't. Was Lebron not a superstar when he disappeared in every 4th quarter vs. the Mavs...including the elimination game?

Seeing is far different then comprehending.
Cavs swept them, so they get credit for that, but it was the Pacers.
None of the other 14 teams in the playoffs would have been swept IMO if Cavs played the same way.
Play like that against the Warriors and they'd get swept.

Exactly. Not all sweeps are created equally. Every one of these games was in doubt in the last couple of minutes. But Cavs fans think they were dominant. lol

I didn't see any of today's game, but whenever I looked at the score it was pretty close.

You do realize what happened today has nothing to do with my rating of George right? I never thought he was a superstar/top 10 player.

I don't think he's a superstar or a top 10 player. I rank him between 11-15. Nothing you or anyone else say will change my mind.

My opinion is my opinion and considering how many great players there are in this league, I'm pretty sure I can quite a few who agree with me that he's not a top 10 player in the league.

Agree to disagree.

 

[DorianRo]

One thing about George when I was watching was how SLOW He is. Slow to move and slow to get rid of the ball before the double team comes. Like everything he does in this slow motion

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

It was a historic day for James, as the accolades continue to pile up for the 14-year veteran. The sweep was the 10th of his career, the most all time, edging Tim Duncan’s nine. It was also his 21st straight victory in a first-round game, the most in a row by any player since the playoffs expanded to 16 teams in 1984 (besting the record of 20 set by Magic Johnson, Michael Cooper and James Worthy with the Los Angeles Lakers).

The rest of the league is dealing with injuries (Blake Griffin, Rudy Gobert, Rajon Rondo and, to a lesser extent, Kevin Durant) and adversity (San Antonio is tied 2-2 with Memphis, Toronto is tied 2-2 with Milwaukee, Golden State is missing coach Steve Kerr). But the defending champs got out of the first round unscathed, as quickly as possible.

It will be a historic day when you bet on the Cavs to win vs spamming us with bullshit that nobody cares about.

hes right on that border-- im not sure if i would have him in my top 10 either...but close...prob like u said-- between 11-15....

LeBron
Durant
Curry
RW
Harden
Kawhi

thats 6 off the bat

--- those are the- no-brainers that are above PG

then you have the next group: Butler, Cp3, DeRozan, Lowry, Kyrie, Giannis, Wall, Draymond, Klay, Cousins, Davis, Towns, Milsap, Gasol, Lillard, Heyward ....

George isnt in that first group--- he is somewhere in that 2nd group....

i think he is safely above a next tier of like Jokic, Wiggins, Griffin, Jordan, IT, Porzingis, Embiid, Booker, Conley, Love, Drummond, Jabari, Kemba, Middleton, Beal, Aldridge etc....
