Yikes. Indiana can't seem to close out.

You gotta foul early if you go up 3.

Jeez, Collison is 1-7 tonight.

Wow, that was close.

Stunned. Those are the kind of shots JR Smith always pulls out of his ass.

Big win for IND, esp. coming back from 17 down. Lebron is worn out. He can't do this too many more times. This might have been CLE's last gasp. Would not surprise me to see IND win handily next game.

Indy HAS to win game 4. Put the pressure on the Cavs even more.

What a mental midget Smith is. Clarkson was uncovered and right in front of him.

Indy needs to get this next one.

Salute to the Balkans. Bogan and Niko and Goran have been pretty great this postseason.

Dresden · Post #1391 » by **Dresden** » Sat Apr 21, 2018 1:40 am

Oladipo with 5 to's, that is too many. And 1-8 on 3's. He should bounce back next game and do better.

Yep, I was just waiting for that to drop. :lol:

Squeeze every ounce out of Lebron in this series Indiana. Make him question possible retirement. But I do have feel Cavs will after this loss win 3 straight.

There was a Pacers player in the passing lane. JR really didn't have much of a choice there with so little time.

You know what was really dumb? The Cavs wasting their last time out on what ended up just being some wild three point attempt by LeBron. They couldn't have just brought up the ball and taken a shot like that?

Watching Pacers is soooo exciting for me as a fan without Bulls in the playoffs. It get ramped up like I did in the Bulls classic nail biters.

It's cause this Pacers team is so easy to root for. They have incredible defensive intensity and an offense that doesn't rely on just one or two guys, totally team balance that's creative on offense.

I like Lance Stephenson because he's one guy who is ALMOST able to not get totally pushed out the way when Lebron starts throwing elbows on his way to the basket, but I thought in the first quarter he kind of derailed their offense by doing too much isolation play. It really destroyed their rhythm and they weren't getting any good 3 looks playing that way.

I was so sure it was going in when it was half way there. Whew.

I'm watching the first minutes I have all series of the Bucks/Celtics and Thon Maker is actually balling.

Also, if you're Bledsoe, it's not a good look to have whinged your way out of Phoenix and then not ball out for your playoff team when it matters.

Same here and thinking the exact same thing, there is some serious potential there for the Bucks or someone to unlock.
