2025 NBA PLAYOFFS East Semifinals: #1 Cleveland Cavaliers vs #4 Indiana Pacers (IND leads 1-0)

[whatisacenter]

PACERS!!!

Fun team to watch!

[Patches Perry]

Best time to get that Cavs -1.5 line before they make that big rally (i think early 3rd)

I hate that they're down 11 and the moneyline still has Cleveland -150. These odds are not scrumptious.

The Pacers are annoyingly good but they just dont have what we typically think what good is. They are the team version of the random role player going off on your team except these guys are good

1st quarter looked a little bit like the effect of one team playing a competitive 1st round series and the other not. That's not to take away from the Pacers at all, in fact the opposite. They looked more dialed in to start.

I honestly don't know why the media continues underrating Indiana. They have the deepest roster in the NBA. Thomas Bryant and Ben Sheppard may not even get into these games and those guys have proven they can provide quality minutes.

Cavs look insanely sloppy and are making some very questionable decisions.

when push comes to shove, i always saw the cavs offense as basically donovan mitchell hero ball with some occasional relief from garland.

i dont think mobley or allen are half court playoff scorers.

so with garland out, i think the cavs can be outscored which is what we are seeing now.

pacers have been super lucky the last 2 years in their playoff matchups but they deserve credit for their team construction to take advantage of it.

Fast paced game.

[KIRAG]

A lot of people dont realize how boston closesr series last year low key was against indiana lmao

So many down to the wire games for a sweep

Yeah tougher than the finals even if it was a sweep

Good but just not elite owing to a no superstar lineup.

Cleveland needs to stop with the three ball right now. There’s no rim protector out there for Indy, take advantage.

[azcatz11]

Yesterday they said the 2nd Round was brought to us by Chipotle and today it's brought to us by Wingstop. Kinda seems like they took money from both companies as the official sponsor and are hoping they don't notice lol. Meanwhile I personally feel like the 2nd round is being brought to me by the massive cable bill I just paid.

Which do you like better? Chipotle or WS?

Sadly Mexican food is crap in Canada. This despite immigration in recent years that's brought latino population in Toronto to be about the same on % basis as Los Angeles!!! (yes to my huge surprise! imagine Toronto with that many latinos!) I don't think any of those chains are here. And Mexican food still isn't as big here, YET.

That is surprising. Never would have guessed that. That's a good business idea...Mexican in Toronto

Indiana still has two guys who have made All-NBA before in Siakam and Haliburton. I mean if those guys play their best (I know big if), they have a chance against pretty much anyone.

[2weekswithpay]

I would have Siakam guard Mobley. Having Obi in every screening action looks like a bad idea. Hide Obi on Okoro.

[Patches Perry]

I will forever hate Cleveland for refusing to trade Evan Mobley to OKC on draft night.

I watched all of them. Pacers tightened up late 4th every single game, and that's how they lost that series. Otherwise they were competitive. They really choked, and I'm watching them this year to see if they've overcome that. They did well in a tight game vs. Bucks I think there was one.

Siakam is playing well

[xBulletproof]

I thought Siakam caught them in a scram switch on the and 1, but I'm not so sure. Looked like Mitchell just got lost, I dunno how that happens in a post up though.

That was weird.
