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

The irony of you talking about how people need to be humbled…

Bahahaha, touche…though to be fair he was more confident about the Celtics series than I was and turned out to be right, so I can’t give him too much stick about it right now.

But yeah, that made me chuckle too.

5 games max and it'll be something ridiculous like last years game 3 with some scrub hitting a shot he would hit 1/1000 times. Series will be quick and there's nothing that can be done about it.

See that wasn’t a fluke. Nembhard isn’t just a great defender, he’s clutch as f*** and made crazy shots against Boston too. He’s one of their most important players for a reason, like Mikal for us.

They’ve been good for a long enough for people to start catching on.

until I see a series win against a team at full strength I'm not buying any of that.

He's shown in a short time that he's not afraid of the shot, that's always dangerous. I've caught on, the Indy guards impress me, they play above the level I expected from them, and really have high confidence on their role on the court. It's not to be taken lightly.

Will be watching closely the EC games, it would be a treat to see another Knicks/Pacers series - one of my favourite playoff rivalries since I started watching the NBA.

Please let the Cavs win. Knicks would like this series to go on longer.

Yeah, like I wouldn’t trade OG & Mikal for Nembhard & Nesmith…which is one of the reasons I favor us…but Thibs would love to add those two & they would be fast fan favorites if they were ours. Both just have no quit and make winning plays…and Nemb is just a player. I think he’d push hart to the bench if he was ours.

We have the better individual talents & the best 5, but they have the better depth, ball movement & ball pressure. We should own the glass but they should be more dangerous in transition.

Where’s our NBA IS RIGGED cult at? We’re rigging it for Cavaliers -7.5 tonight, correct? Need to hear from the experts before i place my bet. LOL

What does one have to do with the other? Can we not say that Brunson is a playoff killer for us until we finish the Boston series? I mean, it's not like we've ever beaten a top team in the playoffs, so why should you buy what Brunson's doing?

I knew we would give the Celtics a series, so I'm not under-rating the Knicks, but the Pacers will give us a series as well. Like I've said ad nauseum, the east's top 4 was just really good this year...with the Pistons / Magic only one move away from joining us.

The Pacers is a 7 game series for the Knicks and can go either way. If anyone thinks this is a 5 game series shouldn’t ever be taken serious.

LETS GO PACERS!

Out of the three teams that are down 3 -1, Cleveland has the best chance of winning the series. As we have seen anything can happen.

Kenny gonna need to adjust the defensive scheme and probably tighten his rotation or this is over tonight.

This is on assumption everyone is 100% healthy though.

Sam Merrill is a late scratch for the Cavs.

Mitchell will be playing tonight too so this will be interesting.

[Wolfgang630]

No way the Cavs lose THREE HOME games, right. This should go 6

[azcatz11]

They just said he has no ligament damage. Mitchell will be 100%.

[basketballRob]

First team to 120 wins.

Come on Cavs, can't let Siakam get going.

[azcatz11]

Cavs fans - why doesn't Dean Wade play more? He's a decent defender / size and a great shooter. He is better than Strus

[cgf]

Ugh, Nemb was all over Spida on that one.
