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

Why would anyone expect the Cavs to play well top players?

I honestly expected the Cavs to get blown out but the Pacers are soft.

In fairness, they were missing 2 starters and a great bench player

The Cavs were missing 2 All-Stars. I am pretty sure anyone saying Cleveland is a fraud is just trolling. You can't credibly expect any team to be the same with 2 All-Stars on the bench.

I am so happy for Indiana. the refs really try to give it to Mitchell and the Cavs. This game was a disgrace for the officials.

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

Sickening

Even with the missing players theyre still good enough to win…I turned the game off because they were up 10+ for most of the game I thought it was over

How do the Pacers keep pulling off these crazy last minute comebacks?? I give them credit, though. They never give up and Haliburton is a witch or something.

Mitchell played a heck of a game, but he's in terrible shape. The Cavs have babied their star players all year with minutes and the guy looked like he wasn't going to make t off the court without a Paul Pierce wheelchair.

Also, shout out to Donovan Mitchell, one of the baddest in the game. We might get swept.

The Magic won around 60 games one season and was #1 in the conference and lost the first 2 at home to Boston. I think they lost in 6.

The bucks were even worse just 2 ago, also against the pacers.

PUT SOME MFN RESPECT ON HALIBURTONS NAME!!!!

Jerome isn’t a starter in this league and whoever pays him to be one is going to instantly regret it.

He missed some key late free throws that allowed this miracle. He was the reason why they were winning and the reason why they lost.

Unfortunately he'll get fined even though they pump music in arenas that talk about killing, drugs and sex and players throw up arrows, bombs and guns. But fake balls is where they draw the line.

They need to cut that ish out... do they do it in other pro leagues/arenas/stadiums? I don't watch enough to know.

I feel bad for Cavs fans.

I feel worse for Kings fans.
