That sucks for the Cavs, man. Legendary game from Mitchell and it was going to be such a gritty win. Damn. What a meltdown.

Imagine if the Pacers didn’t have Nembhart, Siakem, and Neismith. That’s the injury situation the Cavs are dealing with.

Can definitely see the Cavs get swept. This INDY team plays with a ton of energy at home.

Are you talking about Nesmith's dunk? That should've been a foul on Mitchell, too

We're missing 3 of our starters :lol:

It's fine they will have plenty of time to get healthy in the off-season.

I said it earlier--Cavs played really hard, but they didn't play well. That was a really bad game from them. I know they were without 2 all-stars and a 6th man of the year candidate, but that was still a really poor game by the Cavs.

Cleveland has a chance if they miraculously get healthy, but it isn't looking good.

I doubt it. There was too much time on the clock, and his FT looked like a normal FT. The Cavs just mishandled the rebound.
