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

[WiggyRuss]

So apparently Cavs next game will be Monday no matter what. Spurs/Grizz vs Hou/OKC will also start monday no matter what.

i hope hte Bucks push it to 7.....they get it at home at least....

Toronto is playing solid ball....they have depth too this year- last year CArroll wasnt even healthy- this year they will have a healthy Carroll, PJ Tucker- Powell has continued to develop- ive even think we could see Patterson on LeBron at times....those are 4 guys they can throw at LeBron--- all of them that are at least decent.
They needed Ibaka to have any prayer to counter Love--- ibaka can at least follow Love out to the 3 pt line.

Cavs need Love and Jr to step up in this series- and hopefully have Korver, DWill, Shump, Jefferson, and Frye continue to paly well off the bench.

im just pissed they only get a week off....what a huge loss of an opportunity not blowing the Pacers out every game and being able to sit LeBron in the 4th....I mean- thats gonna really come back to bite the CAvs in the ass.

I heard on radio refs blew it and James traveled before he hit the go ahead 3 with a minute to go in game 4.

As far as the not blowing out part, it's appears its more of a testament to their talent vs needed rest.

Only 1 team so far looks like its championship worthy and its not yours.

NBA also said they missed a travel by George in the last minute.

They miss alot, every game.

Which is kind of irrelevant considering he air balled the potential GW 3-pointer. But yeah, refs screwed up the last minute of that game.

They miss a ton of calls

i was just reading that article

Pat Riley wants to leave the NBA. Here's why he can't.

pretty interesting...

though i was laughing my ass off that LeBron and his buddies were watching the World Cup and Riley asked them to mute the tV while he was giving his presentation. lol.

Riley told his lieutenant, Andy Elisburg, to get the two championship trophies LeBron had won and pack them in their hard-shell carrying cases. Elisburg also brought charts and an easel for a presentation about the free agents the Heat would pursue. The day of the meeting, a hotel bellhop followed them with a luggage cart carrying the presentation and the two trophies. Riley brought wine from a Napa vineyard named Promise. It was the same label Maverick Carter had presented Riley with when they did the deal four years earlier. Riley respects Carter, and when he walked into the suite and saw James with agent Rich Paul and friend Randy Mims but no Maverick, part of him knew the meeting wasn't sincere. He told Elisburg to keep the trophies and easel in the hall. James and his associates were watching a World Cup game, which they kept glancing at during the presentation. At one point, Riley asked if they'd mute the TV.

Riley flew home worried and got a text telling him to be ready for a call. About 15 minutes later, his phone rang and Paul was on the other end. The agent handed the phone to LeBron, who started by saying, "I want to thank you for four years ..."

"I was silent," Riley says. "I didn't say anything. My mind began to just go. And it was over. I was very angry when LeBron left. It was personal for me. It just was. I had a very good friend who talked me off the ledge and kept me from going out there and saying something like Dan Gilbert. I'm glad I didn't do it."

But it also means that the refs weren't trying to do the Cavs any favors -- they missed calls both ways.

i have total and utter disdain for anyone that complains about the refs unless it is just so important and egregious that it truly deserves it.

complaining about coaching, rotations, refs, etc.....it all seems to be whining to me.

Are there extraordinary situations? of course---- but far and few between. Everyone has a job to do and no one is perfect.

Of course they are rooting for the Warriors, if they dislike Lebron. I don't mind it, not everyone wants to root for Lebron.

I think it would be funny as hell if the neither won, but I don't see it happening.

Then you must hate James and a bunch of other players, because this league has turned into a bunch of whiners and floppers.

Then it'll prob have to wait until tonight.

It could happen. Another team could get really hot but most likely that team would have to beat both teams at some point bc I don't see both the Cavs and Warriors not making it to the Finals.
