Strus can definitely get up, I sometimes wondered if he was the best shot blocker on the team when he was on the Heat :lol:

Jerome is single-handedly keeping Indiana in this game. Just absolutely terrible shot selection, some of the worst basketball that I've ever seen.

Cavs running out of gas. There’s no shotcreator after Mitchell.

It will naturally trend towards into a close game with Mitchell vs Hali duel.

Are the Cavs bung holes starting to tighten up?

C'mon bro. Be better.
No forget that guy, he keeps 2 hand shoving our players while they're in the air.

I hope every soda he drink already shaken up. I hope his dreams dry like raisins in the baking sun. I hope there's always snow in his driveway. I hope he wins the lottery and loses his ticket. I hope the zipper on his jacket get stuck, and his headphones short, and his charger don't work, and he spill stuff on his shirt.

If we lose this, it’s squarely on Jerome.

The Cavs are playing hard, but they aren’t playing well.

I'm not sure the Cavs will win this series if Garland doesn't come back.

Hali knows the refs want to make it a close game

2 points in 4 minutes is concerning for Cavs, Pacers are sniffing something

Feels like it because of the missing stars. i think we’ll see back and forth blowouts the rest of this but it’s still close because it’ll reach a Game 7 (assuming Mobley is out)

Anunoby vs. Siakam who does Toronto miss more?

Cavs have completely run out of fumes. Allen and Mitchell look exhausted.
