Pacers are a bad matchup for the Cavs all year, I think people are getting carried away by this series.
What's the excuse for the rest of the season? The Cavs have been considerably worse than the Raps all year and the imaginary switch that they supposedly flip in the postseason doesn't exist this year. Indiana could have easily won this series even with Lebron going off (and still might) if a few plays here and there goes different
I don't know. But I know the Cavs did struggle a ton with the Pacers this season. And the Cavs didn't struggle as much with Toronto in the last few meetings before the regular season ended. Cavs seem to have an emotional edge with the Raptors, while the rivalry they have had with Indy has been pretty quietly fierce for several years now.
If the Raptors beat the Cavs I won't really be upset since I don't have a real horse in the race. But I would expect Lebron to eventually turn into their LeFather again.
Pacers are a just a younger athletic nightmare of a team for the Cavs who never quit with energy. We should know too, our games vs. the Pacers were hell this year. They literally DO NOT quit.
No this series isn't over yet but Lebron losing in round 1? Nah man........
Watching Lebron though tonight, is a big reason why I desire Kawhi Leonard so badly too. Even Lebron once said Leonard plays the best D on him in the league.
