It's amazing how much ball movement we have when Austin's in foul trouble.

As a fan who has watched OKC blow leads all year, it's weird how officials start swallowing the whistle when they get big leads. Then when it's close again, the calls are made again. It's like the NBA has built in emphasis to prevent blowouts.

I'm a Pacers fan. I know what Lance is for us.

Don't get me wrong he's very entertaining when he gets going :D

Clippers like that corner 3. Hit like 5 in a row from the exact same spot.

Jesus, the Cavs letting an injured Clippers team body them. I really don't understand this team. Also, Calderon is absolute ass.

Watch their effort and you should be able to understand that team. Thats all.

I love LeBron, but I also can't respect his disrespect for the game during the regular season...

Cavs are missing the same number or starters/rotation players as the Clippers. But I think this game is just a lack of effort and poor shooting. I mean you can't expect to win a game shooting 38% and 25% even if this roster plays well defensively. Not to mention taking fewer shots and a lot less movement.

Sabonis is a nice player, not a rim protector but an excellent first big off the bench. Seems overqualified for that role but his lack of length and rim protection are the reason I guess
