Cause fck rooting for that dork.


Kenny Atkins fcked up not saving a to cause he wasn't even fouled on his last take.

Cavs lost that more than the pacers won it.


nah pacers legit and took their heart

lights still a little too bright over there


Cavs choked.

Giving up 2 offensive boards on FT

Not saving a to to challenge

A silly offensive fouls by donovan

Hali was bumbling and stumbling bricking freethrows

That was bad basketball. Cavs were just worse.

I don’t mind it considering the nasty Cavs fans on the GB

Someone refresh my memory. Over the last two playoff seasons has Indiana played a team at full strength?

Seems like every series Indy's in they draw a team that's always down 1-2 key players and barely flop over the bar to win a series.

LOL, we were the "knicks". I can live with Obi over Hali. I cannot fathom selecting Kevin Knox over SGA. Knox is barely still in the league.

Could have also just drafted Bridges and we'd still have all our picks.

Nope,

Bucks last year without Giannis
Us with half our starters out
Celtics without Kristaps

Bucks this year with Lillard out
Now Cavs with 2 starters and 1 rotational guy out




Never seen a team with this kind of luck.

Right and I dont have an issue with a team taking care of business, I give them credit for that, but the media acts like they are beating these teams at full strength.

Technically Boston. As much as I pull for KP, I don't credit him much in last year's run.

If we make the Finals, we would have homecourt advantage over Minny, GS, or Denver

It worked out for us to be 3rd seed


But would we even want it? We’re the road warriors.

Kenny Atkinson the fraud. All that slurping folks did about him and him managing his starters minutes only for him to be down 2 starters and a key bench player when the games matter most.

If Cavs fail to get out the 2nd round this will be a massive underachievement

This is a critical hit to minute police, warning. 8-)

So you are suggesting they are the Indiana Wizards? :o

the craziest part to me isn't the injuries. those things just happen. though, clearly to any team.

the wild part is they were noticeably gassed down the stretch. being unable to go 8 if you need to in the playoffs is a bad look. it's not even like he was asking 40+. donovan mitchell can't play 36? like per 36 36?

announcers straight cooking him. not even trying to be mean. it was sad to watch.

i'm watching the whole time like, "I've seen this movie before. they not going to be able to hold these pacers off." they're like vampires.
RIP magnumt

thanks for everything, thibs.
