Cavs ran out of gas. That's the problem with the Pacers is that they just keep coming at you and won't stop. It's very annoying to play against.

they're deep but their success is dependent on their role players playing well. all of mathurin, nembhard, turner, nesmith stepped up today.
cavs are in big trouble right now. does anyone know why mobley didn't play

Wait, the Pacers won?!? I turned it off early assuming the Cavs had it in the bag.

Pacers aren't great either but at least they got some valid exp on their team. I'm hoping Denver wins it all tbh. But still a long way to go.

Lets not say that because they are literally missing the bulk of what makes their team good....It would have been like us losing in the playoffs back in the day with Lowry/Siakam/Ibaka out....Garland/Mobley/Hunter are all huge impact players for that team and take immense pressure off of Mitchell...

Pacers last playoffs made it to the ECF from playing injury riddled teams and it will be the same this year....Good team but if they do not get bailed out by injuries they are not making it that deep in the playoffs.

You have to give Carlise his props. It takes a lot of balls for him to stick to his gameplan and run a 9+ man rotation during the playoffs - against overwhelming consensus.

playoffs has been crazy so far

Anyone else think Mitchell was playing through a concussion, after that by Nesmith.

One thing about Haliburton is that he isn't honorable. He's a sore winner and loser. That's why he isn't gonna win and even if he somehow does he's gotta stop being like that.

I'd love to see Knicks vs Nuggets in finals.

Curry pulled a Hamstring?

But they're up 12 for now, it'll be hard to hang on

Walt, you see your Knicks going to the finals?

Very happy with game 1 but Boston will be tough to beat still.

I don’t know why some folks are making it like the Pacers are the under dogs lol.

Cavs are missing their 2nd and 3rd best player along with their main wing player. Phenomenal win by the Pacers but let’s not act like they’re under dogs in this lol.

WaltFrazier · Post #895 » by **WaltFrazier** » Wed May 7, 2025 2:51 am

How can Ant score so little? Dubs are good defensively but small, not much rim protection. Thompson got to the rim pretty easily against them for Houston

I think Mobley rolled his ankle stepping on Turner's foot near the end of game 1

Jarrett Allen at fault for not blocking out Turner on Hali last free throw.

I think he’s hurt. He was holding his calf for a lot of game 5 vs the Lakers. He has 0 lift.
