Playoff Live Thread: Cavs @ Pacers, Game 3
2018-04-20
Well, we didn’t expect to be here, did we? The Cavaliers head to Indiana to face a Pacers squad that had shocked many by splitting the first two games of this playoff series. Now, as the series moves to Bankers Life Fieldhouse, a place where the Cavaliers have seemingly always struggled, the question is whether or not LeBron James‘s supporting class can step up and give The King some help. Things don’t look great, but if there’s one thing we know about the Cleveland Cavaliers, it’s to expect the unexpected.
Love is ready sucking, soft at the hoop and stupid foul
Danica looking good tonight! Way to go A-Rod!
I know he has had injuries, but Jabari Parker looks pretty far away from being in NBA shape…
Delly playing a good game…
Totally!!!! I miss watching him play.
Really wish both the Morris bros would go play in China…they both seem like huge douches…
Well, we still have another shot to even things. The D has been good.
DELLY TREY!!! THEY’RE CHANTING HIS NAME!!!
Very heartwarming to see this goofy Celtics team getting boatraced in Milwaukee…
This is embarrassing.
The only way to get my hopes up is to dream of a scenario where Lebron re-signing and all our other needs are filled. It’s more exciting to play those in my head than watch this team altogether
I can’t excuse the coaching of this series because we are playing against the Indiana freaking Pacers!!!!
I know we lack a scorer in the wing and a defensive center. But if you need those two players just to get past a team of role players then you have more problems going forward.
I can understand i f we lack the talent against the Warriors or the Rockets of the world. But against Indiana?!?!?
Honestly if you take Bodganovic out of the equation, the rest of the Pacers went 1 for 17 from 3. That’s not going to happen and honestly, Indiana is going to break out at some point.
Turner and Oladipo are due one big game each.
If my memory serves right. Lue Let Lebron play a portion of the 3rd with Nance, Clarkson Green and only 1 shooter in Korver (who btw struggled shooting). Way to go!
Yup noticed that lineup too… but it was short lived.
LD put in Cedi a few times when he said the Cavs needed energy. I have no doubt he would see playoff minutes under Drew. Could have used energy in that disastrous third quarter
ABSOLUTELY!!
Lue PROMISED to play a 10 man rotation this Playoffs. Tonight, he played 9. He didn’t even looked to playing 1 of the 3 guys that could’ve provided spark in the 3rd in TT, Jose and Cedi. I don’t know how to describe Lue.
Lue sucks. He would play Nance, a guy with a ton of effort but no experience in postseason play, and Green, a guy with experience but sucks. Then won’t even let TT see a day of light. It’s so confusing to me.

Apparently Hill’s back was acting up… Lue also already brought the “I gotta look at the tape” line
That sucks…but it does explain that, anyway…
I think the Bucks may not be too far away with a great coaching staff. They have some talent outside Giannis, some of it is raw, like Maker…
