Series Thread: 2nd Round: 1) Cavs vs 4) Pacers

[TheSnowdog]

This is going to be a good series
Back and forth between 2 scrappy teams

 

[realityball]

great game … pacers were lights out both sides … Cavs will come back
… they’ll just slice Garlands sneaker
Great game

Why is Jerome attempting 20+ shots?

More than Mobley

that isn’t unusual without Garland. He missed some shots he normally makes

 

[thunderc]

Cavs -9 in game 2 already

I just don’t think he should get more attempts than Mobley in this type of game

Pacers will cover

Cavs -9 in game 2 already

Damn, that was fast.

Shaq called it for the pacers last night … I thought he was on drugs

He’s def on crack, called for the pistons to win series

 

[bksballer89]

Cavs won’t shoot 9-38 again but pacers very capable of making 19 threes again if they get those same looks

 

[bksballer89]

Having a role player who takes his game to another level in the playoffs like this is special

It’s hard to imagine the Pacers winning game 2 also

I feel like in today's NBA it's not even about the looks you get from 3.

It's just about heat check.

That said, Cavs panicked down the stretch.

Cavs just did not shoot well---- must win on Tuesday.....I think Indiana was hot from the beginning and the Cavs looked a little slow.....hopefully that changes

I tried to warn y'all about Papa Halliburton.

I tried to warn y'all about Papa Halliburton.

I’m sure they were playing for him in Cancun

Houston is the better team imo but they ain't got shit on the warriors and their ability to close.

CAVS FANS: Step off the 480 Bridge for a second and realize…
- Game 1 was a trap game in every sense. We sat for a week after we swept Miami while Indiana stayed in rhythm in a longer series.
- We didnt have the threat or production of an All Star in Darius Garland. Meanwhile, theres no structural damage on his toe, so he’ll be in soon.
- We shot poorly in general, while Indiana had 4 role players (Nesmith, Nembhard, Mathrum, and McConnell) go a combined 13-18 from three (72%). It’s safe to say that’s not going to be throughout the series
- don’t be fooled by Mitchell’s 33 pts, it took him 30 shots to get it. He can play far better and more efficient.

I’m not worried/concerned as it sits. Of course you want to win every game, but given all those factors, I say it’s almost certain we win game 2 with improvements in all categories, and then likely steal one in Indiana. They aren’t Boston or OKC (although they’re a young rising team that’s becoming semi-dangerous in front of our eyes). Game 2, Cavs win, book it IMO
