Nice shot by Haliburton.

I am just happy this game is over, so we can get to the real game.

He can't effectively create his own shot because his handle is weak and his shot is awkward.

If he isn't coming off the pick and roll or a stepback, he's useless.
Whoops

Wow, Cavs weren't tested in round 1, now they're folding against a credible opponent.

Pacers tried to murder Cavs players multiple times and got away with it. That's sad.

Did that really happen??
"Thibs called back and wanted more picks," said Jorge Sedano. "And Pat Riley, literally, I was told, called him a mother-bleeper and hung up the phone."

He literally did a step back...like I said.

This isn't a gotcha. It actually proves I am right.
