Game Thread 04/18: Pacers vs. Cavs Game 2 

Post#1 » by boomershadow » Wed Apr 18, 2018 4:48 pm

If we can get a solid game from Sabonis I would be pretty happy. He was quiet the last game. And as much as the Cavs and the media and everyone seemed so surprised about the Pacers' play last game, there are a few aspects of our game that they didn't get to witness. Sabonis didn't really show how awesome he can be. Neither Bogey or Collison shot it well. Oladipo played really well, but he didn't have to put the team on his back as much as we have seen happen at times this season.

How do you think it's going to go?

LeBron played 44 minutes last game and had a triple double. (lucky for the Cavs, they get an extra day of rest...) If the Cavs are to put up a fight, someone ELSE has to get involved. Whether it’s Love, Nance, JR, or someone else, offensively, it’s gotta be more than Bron.

Also, if the Cavs continue to not play Korver they’re doing us a HUGE favor. guy torches us every time we play him it feels like.

Definitely feels like the Pacers still have a lot of reserves, but the Cavs really underperformed there. If not for that first quarter, it could have been a really close game.

Pacers are ginormous underdogs again tonight. I just don't see it. People just think Cleveland can flip the switch but I gotta see it to believe it. They just dont have a lot of talent and Lue is REALLY bad about playing bad players a lot of minutes which is just killer in the playoffs when most bad players stop getting many minutes

LeBron is either incredibly angry or can see the writing on the wall that this Cavs team just doesn't have what it takes to make a run. Pacers need to keep it close early and weather the JR Smith 3's.

They're trying to go small ball and get hot. Love at center, Smith and Korver both starting. Not sure how Sabonis and Turner are gonna respond.

2 fouls in 3 min on Victor seem the crooked refs are at it again.

We're gonna run out of players in the 3rd quarter due to the tick tack fouls.

I say let dipo play. If he gets 6 fouls and fouls out in 12 mins so be it! Send the tape to the NBA headquarters.

Don't let the refs control you

What would be amazing as good as LBJ played if the Pacers come back and win this in the 4th.

They have no answer for Oladipo driving.

Sabonis has been the most useless player of the Pacers this series. I think Myles Turner needs to call him 'soft' now.

Sabonis needs to find a nice spot on the bench for the rest of this game.

YOu guys deserved this dub by far :lol: refs tried to take you out early and you still were in the game to the last possession. **** the Cavs/Silver for trying to make the series more interesting than it should be

Hoping Oladipo slays Lebron in Indy
