Game Thread 04/20: Pacers vs. Cavs Game 3

Post #1 » by **boomershadow** » Fri Apr 20, 2018 11:34 am

I think we can take this game. The Cavs are actually fairly lucky they are coming into the Fieldhouse 1-1 in my opinion. I'm rooting for Sabonis to have a big game.

After splitting a pair of games in Cleveland, the Pacers head back to Indiana brimming with confidence that they can win their best-of-seven first-round series against the defending Eastern Conference champion Cavaliers.

Yes, the Blue & Gold dropped Game 2 on Wednesday night, but their 100-97 loss offered plenty of more evidence that Indiana has what it takes to hang with the Cavs.

After pummeling Cleveland by 18 points in Game 1, the Pacers witnessed firsthand the greatness of LeBron James in Game 2. The four-time MVP added to his lore with another legendary performance on Wednesday. He scored the first 13 points of the game, helped the Cavs out to an 18-point lead, and finished with a jaw-dropping stat line: 46 points on 17-of-24 shooting, 12 rebounds, and five assists.

Let's get out early, avoid stupid fouls and don't let JR Smith get into Oladipo. I think they found something late, heavy pressure is no good for Vic. An aggressive and smart Lance needs to be in attendance tonite, and Sabonis needs to make hay down low. The Pacers are easily the better team, and they need to play accordingly. LeBron will LeBron, but don't let JR Smith get hot early.

Add Korver to your list of not getting hot early please.

I can't stand Love he's sloppy looking and a big jerk, LBJ is a cry baby who expects to get preferred treatment on ever play. JR Smith is a goon that grabs pushes and holds on every play.

Let's beat these guys and show them who the new boss is. His name is Victor!

Bizarre turnovers and some bad passes

This is crap at half time I'd make every take off their jocks and put on new ones. Something is bad wrong with our guys. Not even talking about questionable fouls again as usual.

This is not the same team that won game 1.

Playing with no heart whatsoever.

Just a pathetic 1st. half and I doubt it's gonna get better.

Will be lucky to go to Cleveland 2-2.
