Mitchell seems to be missing a lot of FTs

Strus looks like an actor cast to play as a basketball player

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)

A weak #1 and #2, wing defenders who can’t contain anyone, and no physicality at the 4 and 5, it’s Swiss cheese defense (both has a small backcourt), runs vanilla scheme, and both lack of elite shot creation.

A lot of the shots are driving to the lane and fishing for a foul.

Strus has been a dawg today.

This is incredible. Cavs have no business winning this with damn near everybody out - wow!

Not really.

Nearly every Pacers fan here kept trying to tell ya'll. We lose these games. Consistently.

He looks like a country club tennis pro.

Nembhard was ball watching, guarding no one. Gave Strus a wide open 3.

Maybe Cavs can now afford Ty Jerome on the bench lol

Yeah and they've been gifted 19 Fts to a single player.

Put the ball in Haliburtons hands. Sheesh, it makes no sense.

Saw that in last year's playoffs too

They do it in the regular season too. Nembhard has almost 10 turnovers today. Those 10 possessions would be useful about now, wouldn't they?

It looks like a strategy/coaching decision. I don't care who's guarding Haliburton, and I don't care how. Give him the ball. It's annoying.

Terrible game to watch. Refs clearly had an agenda.

Who wins?
