I don't think we're gonna be the team that breaks the Cavs' win streak, but if we did it'd be a pretty awesome addition to this young team's resume.

Tough game tonight. I don't think we'll be the one to break the streak. I just want to see us getting Myles some good looks early and fight hard throughout the game.

Really? I think your team is one of the worst matchups for us in the league I can think of. We have trouble defending penetration from quick guards, so Jose and JR have no chance against Oladipo and Collison. And then we really struggle stopping three point barrages, and Indiana is 2nd in 3P% in the entire league behind Golden State. Also, Thaddeus Young seems to always kill us. And we seem to have a hard time playing in your building.

Most Cavs fans have already penciled this in as the end to the streak.

Hope to see a good fight from us tonight.

That dunk by Oladipo was vicious.

That's a nice start. The more we run against the Cavs, the better it is for us.

C'mon Dipooooo, bad foul.

Great skip pass by Bojan. It's a shame that DC missed that.

My goodness. We have so many unforced turnovers today. Flash backs to George and Ellis.

Unreal.

Refs just stole momentum away.

I absolutely hate watching them get offensive rebounds only because they want it more.

giving up too many off reb to cavs

Post #17 » by **Nuntius** » Sat Dec 9, 2017 12:28 am

We shouldn't be allowing the Cavs to get those offensive rebounds. We cannot win this game unless they are one and done.

Another game, another Turner/Young missing rebounds.

What in the hell is up with Glenn Robinson's tie?

xxSnEaKyPxx · Post #20 » by **xxSnEaKyPxx** » Sat Dec 9, 2017 12:32 am

Turner has clearly become a better passes since Sabonis has joined the team. May have happened anyway, but it would be silly to ignore Sabonis' potential impact there.
