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

[OregonDucks]

guess now we'll see if the Raps finally get that LeClown monkey off their backs...

Pacers didn't and they had the best chance they've ever had. I sometimes wonder if LeBron mentally owns these other teams that they just falter when they go up against him.

 

[The Derski]

The Cavs need to prioritize winning game one in Canada.

 

[ericd7633]

Damn LBJ. Averaged 34, 10 and 8 this series.

If I was running Canada I'd revoke LeBron's passport.

Im not putting much into the last couple regular season wins.
If anything, the losses will prob work in the Raptors favor.

I have a feeling @HurricaneDij39 is losing his shit right now

No I am talking about the previous 9 straight years of LeBron going to the Finals and representing the East.

I did @TurnUpTheHeat

I'm eating diner rn.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Damn LBJ. Averaged 34, 10 and 8 this series.

And needed everyone of them to survive round 1.
This years Finals will be played in the WCF.
Healthy Warriors aren’t losing 4/7.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Lmao. Lebron will 4-2 the Raps like always.

Probably and you must just ask yourself. WTH Toronto, do you even care??

 

[flyerhawk]

Lmao. Lebron will 4-2 the Raps like always.

The Cavs lost as many games in this series as they lost in the past 2 eastern conference playoffs COMBINED!

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Yeah because being mentally owned by 1 player always works in a teams favor. What the hell? With a comment like that you seem as high as me.

No.
I meant they won’t be complacent.
Those games, in reality meant nothing to Raptors.
The Cavs we saw vs Pacers aren’t beating the Raptors 4/7 IM0.
If the Cavs start draining a ton of 3’s, then whatever, but I’m not counting on it.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I’d also bet you, but all of your vast knowledge has lead you to be broke.
Of course, the Cavs CAN win.
Sue me for thinking this roster isn’t good enough.

This roster is not good enough to get to the Finals, but remember this, the NBA wants Cleveland in the Finals.

Hill showing up made a big difference. This game went like a lot of games this series with the Cavs going up big and then Indy coming back after the Cavs offense grinds to a halt because Lebron is deadass tired. Hill was able to keep things moving, especially getting Love into some situations he's comfortable in.

Speaking of Love, this dude is flat out hurt. I'm guessing its more than just a finger, he's dealing with multiple stuff because if you watch him in transition, he is gingerly strolling up the court. It's not a limp, but you can tell he's laboring to get himself ready for the next possession. That's something to keep an eye on going forward. They desperately need his help.

 

[FakeBelieve]

Meaningless 3 to kill the spread.

Refs didnt give Cavs that win.
Pacers had a few opportunities to overcome everything that James had done, and couldn’t.

Calls were most definitely slanted. Not taking away from LeBrons monsterous of a game and performance, but there were many calls you'd roll your eyes at for them calling in a game 7.

I agree because his supporting cast is 2007 equivalent, if not worse.
