Bogie the "Cold Croatian!!"

This game put me in a ****' coma; how am I supposed to watch Drew Bledsoe vs. Rozier?

Ya, we are really going to miss CJ Miles

My first born child will be named Bojan!!

[Vorda]

My man Bojan...I think he will stay at Pacers next season...

[boomershadow]

Big game by Bojan. Still hoping to see Sabonis break out. Is it the Kevin Love match-up that has his hands full? Not used to more physical playoff basketball?

Higher stress game there at the end than I prefer, bit good to see a win.

Sabonis is still young, turns 22 soon. Needs more experience. Also refs hate him.

I saw some wag call him the "Croatian missile crisis" LOL

Bojan ties a Pacers' playoff record with 7 made 3-pointers. The others who also did it are Reggie (twice), Chuck Person, and Paul George. That's not bad company to be in.

Bojan with a legit superstar game, and that's not an overstatement. He did this while also guarding LeBron **** James on the other end.

Regarding Domas, I feel like he's getting completely mauled and hacked under the rim. And it's not really because of 'playoff style' of basketball. Some of those fouls the Cavs are comitting are bordering on flagrant fouls. The disrespect he has been getting from the refs throughout the regular season has amplified even more.

G Hill is questionable for game 4. Good for us, he killed us in the first half.

Anyone else remember that one sequence where DC was barking at Bojan and physically pushing and waving him a little due to Bojan being a step slow on the defensive switch?

I know you're a big Sabonis fan. And he really has had a tough whistle all year. But it's unfair to blame all of his struggles on the stripes.

He'll bust out its coming. I have no doubts.

I'm definitely a biased Sabonis homer, and I'm not blaming it all on the refs obviously. Sabonis has a lot of flaws and needs to play better, but man he might make an All-NBA team of not getting any benefit of the doubt from the refs. Getting called for ticky tack fouls himself, while being mauled on the other end with no fouls called. If there's such a thing as 'superstar calls', then Sabonis is tapping into the exact opposite of that. And for a young/emotional player like him, it has to affect him mentally to the point where he's playing even worse because of it.

To me, that just means the Cavs will have a better player on the court. Never been a fan of Hill.

Who? At least Hill plays defense. Calderon? Hasn’t been able to stay in front of his man for the past 3 years, I’d love to see more of him. Cedi Osman? Jeff Green? There’s no one on the Cavs roster that doesn’t already have significant minutes that is better than Hill imo.
