Series Thread: 5) Indiana Pacers vs. 4) Cleveland Cavaliers

[LAD]

why is that funny? I don't get it.

because we were talking about LBJ not having help & with Love out (as usual) he will have even less help.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Stephenson shouldn’t be on the court either

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

TurnUp was right, though. win or lose these Cavs don't scare Indy one iota...

Right now they don't scare ANYONE

 

[Black Adam]

seems like a really dumb move to keep Oladipo in the game for the triple double, with a Game 7 in less than 48 hours.

yep. smart coach sits him down. this one's decided...

ahh

I don't know the last time I was this excited for a weekend NBA game. Might have to go back to the mid 2000's when Portland had good teams.

Besides anything football, there isn't anything better than an NBA sunday afternoon playoff game 7.

On behalf of the Lakers, we apologize for those years

If anything they looked motivated by the refs giving cle the last two games.

They haven't won anything yet, so no they're not the best team. That title is given to the team holding the trophy in June. Hou has only won the most games in reg season. Call THAT as you seem 'em.

They are the best team; the past means nothing. They have the best record by far. All season long they've been the best team.

The ONLY.....ONLY reason I could see a coach keeping in their starters this late when the game is in hand is the thought that they build up more rhythm, confidence and momentum to go into the next game.

For instance, Oladipo, has had a terrible game 2,3,4,5. So let him continue this confidence building going into game 7.

lol no, they're not. Dubs are still the defending champs until someone else wins it. Get yo $hit together.

2000 jesus

but yes, those hyped up games were usually synonymous with the Lakers.

 

[gordontrue]

Well, the only positive to take from this is LeBron sitting the entire 4th quarter. With only 1 off day before game 7, its better to lose with LeBron playing 30 minutes than lose with him playing 48.

Past means nothing. the teams are different this year.

but that eye though...

 

[Inimical]

No way the Cavs make it out. They took the former Lakers and Clarkson in particular, has been disastrous. Ineffective and disorganized. Plus Clarkson makes some funny money. Thanks for the first round pick Cleveland.

He pulled him literally the second he picked up his 10th assist... sure looks like it was a triple-double hunt.

 

[Montalban]

Man all these young guns the Cavs got who were supposed to really help this team have done nothing in this series.

definitely gonna need his energy for game 7...
