Forcing Bogdanovic into a passer is the key to a sweep here imo. Looking forward to turning Dipo back into Orlando Dipo in this series.

Pacers dominating Lue needs to wake up and utilize Osman going forward also despite looking bad early we need Korver out there to get back in this game. I wouldn't be shocked if Thompson might be a better option despite his **** season against Indy than Green has been in this game

Love only had 8 shots and was 3/6 from three.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

Anyone catch that early in the game when love banged his knee? I'll take that as explaining the shot % .
If Lue insists on using Green he needs to attack not Chuck the low % shot.
Shots weren't falling for anyone though and Indiana is a very good defensive team.
We will lose this series if the new additions can't adapt to play off basketball,of course we may never see Osman which is a disgrace

Why didn't Korver get more minutes? It was an exciting game and should be a good series, I never expected the Pacers to win a game.

I'm convinced TLue is clueless. They were struggling to find someone who can create for himself and others other than Lebron and he left him to rot on the bench. Last game vs Indiana that guy posted 33-7-7 and he only got 20 minutes in Game 1. SMH

I think you will see shooters all over the floor in game 2.

Game 5 big $ for org and the City. Cavs took one for the City by not being ready for Indy and although the punch landed it's just a knock down not a ko just 1 round not the whole fight.
We are better offensively than we brought regardless of rotation or coach critique this is on the players.
