Whats the point of overreactions?

Genuinely curious.

I mean, the Pacers just beat this Cavs team when they were healthier, but now they are done for the series?

What do you gain from an overreaction?

Pacers barely beat the Cavs without their all star gaurd.

Cool.

Congratulations on the Eastern Conference Finals!

Jerome is getting his shots, the same looks he got all year, but he is just off.

Bad series thus far, that game 1 round 1 boosted his head up lol

He just needs to play within the flow of the offense and he'd be fine.

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.

I cannot believe they called that delay of game. That can be called on every single dead ball.

Something messed up with his left hand/wirst. The more the game goes on, the more they wrap it. They're awaiting the results of xrays he got at halftime.
