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

Totally agree. It's sports and it's fun so I'm talking tons of smack. And in the tiny chance I'm wrong, I'll eat a ton of crow sandwiches. And that'll be fun too.

Well if you do eat crow you are used to it from last year

Just heard as awesome and eye opening stat on PTI:

In the last 15 seconds of a game, with a chance to either tie or take the lead, Paul George is 2-32 on FGs. That is 6.25%. Did not even think that was possible.

Do you have any left over from 2015?

 

[LAD]

I like you

I have no clue what "you're back in my line" means though

Thanks, and it's not important.

They love to bring up old crap but not that old!

don't really think any Cavs fans had to eat crow in 2015, 2 of their best 3 players went out.

I'm pretty sure most people were surprised they did as good as they did.

Other than in his first stint in Cleveland, when has Lebron ever lost a Game 7. The answer is never.

32.4 ppg 8.8 rpg 5.0 apg in five Game 7's. Not bad

Regardless, it doesn't mean he won't/can't.
Every year is different.
James was terrible vs Mavs Heat season 1.
Why wasn't he bad season 2 Finals vs Thunder?
Last years game 7 basically came down to one shot that Kyrie made.
My best guess is that Durant would have easily have made the difference in last years series.
Barnes wasn't very good.

When those 2 players went out, their D improved.

oh god please no not this again

Remember what you said...it was tainted LOL But seriously, Kyrie was 50-50 the whole playoffs and Love got hurt early in the playoffs, I didn't even think they would get to the Finals. They had zero depth to make up for those guys in 2015. And so that answers you question...I never predicted them winning unlike you every year LOL

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I didn't say Cavs team was better off without them.

 

[Hambombs]

lol

There is a difference between parity and outliers

And on offense they couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat. It was awful to watch.

 

[Shanemansj13]

There is a difference between blowing a 3-1 lead and not. A HUGE difference lol. Welcome to the club, they are the only ones in it...that team that won 73 games

Me every year? Whatchoo talking bout Willis?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Love is a very very good player.

A versatile scorer--- one of the best shooters for a big man, great rebounder, great passer.

Id rank him inside the top 30 players in the league.

Ok. Good.

 

[Hambombs]

Warriors better finish it off before a Game 7....you cant beat LeBron in a Game 7....Durant would be weeping in the corner, rocking back and forth with his thumb in his mouth asking for his blankey and a capri sun.

lol they won't lose a game 7 again

 

[gordontrue]

lol they won't lose a game 7 again

so Cavs in 6 then?

You act like the warriors had no guys out during those last few games. I love how cavs fans get so cocky. Yet I was never this cocky about us winning against the cavs in 14-15. I love it.
