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

[bksballer89]

i get to go from my extremely talented but underacheiving basketball team to my very mediocre but somehow always plays better than the sum of their parts baseball team.

A definite dissapoint- especially since the league is so wide open. Ill let some time wear off before I do a full post mortem

I’ll be at the edge of my seat waiting for it

I’ll give the Pacers tons of credit.. they had guys who had an answer over and over and over in these games. They wouldn’t give up, they hustled and grinded. Hats off to them

This series had vibes of when the Magic beat the Lebron Cavs back in 08-09ish… The Magic had Howard in the middle but had 3-4 guys who would just not stop draining clutch 3’s, and a dynamic Hedo Turkoglu at the point. The Magic upset the Cavs 4-2 in the Eastern Conference finals. It would have been 4-1 had Lebron not drained a game winning historic buzzer beater 3 that puts any MJ shot to shame

Good to see somebody else have to wear this 2nd round bull shit for a change

Garland or Allen got to go imo

Probably more Allen than Garland

How about both?

Should be the move but hard to do if you want to compete for a title

Congrats Pacers. I'll admit I thought they made it to the ECF last year as a fluke, but all season and this post season they proved that they are a legit team. There is a reason I didn't want the 5 seed to see them in the first round.

They should make a move for Embiid. Garland and Allen for Embiid and salary.

No way.

Hunter was way worse than Turner.

Hunter and Mathurin should have both been gone, no question about it.

They were both 2 handed shoves?

Allen to the Lakers sounds good to me. Welcome to Cleveland, Gabe and Maxi!

Keep them in bubble wrap till the 2nd round

Not possible

Yes Hunter and Turner were both shoves. Mathurin was a punch.

Hunter and Turner got T's. Mathurin an ejection.

Seems fair to me.
