This is not how I expected this to play out at all

Pascal was bumped on that scramble ball but no call.

I expected this. I was hoping to see a bit more fight from Pacers. Let me see if Hockey's got any good games.

Buncha pit bulls though. Wade, Okoro, and Green... Easily our 3 best perimeter defenders.yoyoboy wrote:This is a rough offensive lineup. Basically no creation out there whatsoever sans Mitchell.

Sneaky tried to tell you all. Pacers have been like this for 2 years.

Really hoping this is a situation where the Pacer's underestimate the short-manned Cavs and then it ends up being too late to turn it around.

McConnell was awful in game 1 and is awful tonight. He might be unplayable in this series.

The Pacers can't stop Mitchell from getting to the rim.

Pacers already playing contented after stealing HC advantage. Not surprising but would have been the best chance to go for the kill with all the injuries to the Cavs…

Sick defense played by that unit. Going small is definitely the key in this series.

None defensively, but Okoro can't make a 3.

Currently can't put weight on his left ankle, so I'd say he's done for at least the series.durden_tyler wrote:What’s the status of Mobley? Out tor the game? Series? Entire Playoffs?!

Quite a bit offensively.
Well at least we're not Detroit!

So the refs are going to let the Cavs just bump Indiana off the ball all night. Great job NBA front office.

Same thing in game 1, he just fell in love with the outside and went 1 for 11.2weekswithpay wrote:The Pacers can't stop Mitchell from getting to the rim.
