Dont these idiots know how to rotate or communicate? How many wide open 3s are they gonna give up this game?

Bird should just take over coaching duties

"Kyrie Irving- best iso player in the league"

not by me- by the announcers.

Somehow Indy is only down 5 at halftime.....I don't know how

I don't either. Seems like Cleveland was dominating in this game. Especially with the barrage of 3's that Indiana allows Cleveland to take.

Stupid passes the entire half. Wow turnovers galore. The Csvs arent even putting in effort on defense, from my view. It's like they dont take the Pacers seriously, well they almost gave up a lead and Game 1 so they better start getting the motor running

Cleveland's defense is almost just as bad this year. Too many defense lapses. Not sure they make it out of the East this year if this defense stays like this. Could be a one and done team

Your saving grace for this round is that Indiana's defense is just so bad and you also have Lebron.

They were shooting good but that's about it. Nothing else was good

Cause cavs aren't much better on defense

They never have been individually. Team defense needs to get much better but I kinda agree with Barkley that they dont respect the opponent. They need to get used to respecting their opponent now bc they wont have a chance to win it all doing this shit

 

[bksballer89]

All I'm going to say is that IF the cavs play defense like this in Indy, they will return to Cleveland facing a best of 3 situation

Dude 22nd this year compared to 9th last year. It's a legit concern.

Their defense is just fine

 

[DorianRo]

Charles said it best, "Cavs don't have any respect for any team in the Eastern Conference, they know they can beat them".

But playing on that auto-pilot and expecting to beat a Quality team like SA/GS in the finals, they aren't good enough to just turn it on this year I dont think.

Sure they're lolol

I think that's a lame excuse to be honest with you.

You don't intentionally suck on defense for 6+ months

 

[Shanemansj13]

Someone doesnt like the way JR is playing. Shump is coming off the bench motivated

 

[Shanemansj13]

Ohh JR is hurt. Fuck!

 

[bksballer89]

what good are the pacers?
