Round 1 Game 4 Cleveland Cavaliers (3-0) @ Indiana Pacers (0-3) SUNDAY, APRIL 23 1:00 PM ET

JR... What would possess him to think that would be a good decision in any situation? I really think something clicks in his head telling him to do some stupid shit.

I just hope Kyrie has something going on physically which he can get straight in the next week, otherwise I see ZERO excuse for his play this series. He was terrible in all aspects of the game, no excuse.

You hope? really? if he has an injury, that's his knee and if it's his knee then it's chronic. I hope his head is fucked up more than anything.

Cavs make a couple adjustments for the 4th quarter and this series isn't close really. Not really that worried

 

[Dr. Gymbo]

That Lance play where he picked up his fifth foul is a perfect example on wjhcyiu can not rely on him to play late minutes in any important game.

He let LeBron and the Cavs bench get in his head and then picked up his fifth fouls completely unnecessarily. He should have been getting back on D and instead fouled LeBron for no valid basketball reason

But but but the Cavs let him get away! Huge miss! Sad!

I'm sorry, did you just say he was terrible in ALL aspects of the game?

You can not be serious. There are things to critique but you just ruined your post with that type of no merit hyperbole

Yes I'm happy that it's over. But Kyrie is not right, his knee is fucked and i'm semi scared for the future. Screws and plates in the knee is no joke, I just dunno what to think.

not so sure Kyrie is injured. He has been shooting reasonably well from 2 this series (about 54%) on a lot of volume and those penetration shots where he breaks down the whole defense must be the hardest on his knees. His foul shooting is also fine. But his 3 point shooting is way off and so is his assist game -- not sure that screams knee injury to me.

if he can fix the three point shooting that will make a huge difference on offense.

Yes, and he's not really Aristotle either.

 

[Rick Astley]

Let's just be clear. This Pacers team in the playoffs was probably the 3rd or 4th best team in the East

I don't know about their "real" rank but they're clearly better than their placement and the boys still swept them. Proud of them for playing through tough times. OTTNO

 

[cavsfever]

It's a sweep nonetheless. Beating any playoff team four times in four games is tough

Lebron has not lost a first round playoff GAME since 2012. Five straight first round sweeps for him.

He had the same screws and plates in his knee during the 2016 championship run...

Enjoy the journey.

Honestly, there is only room for JR or Lance on a single team. And sometimes one is too much.

The only team in the East I'd put them ahead of is the Hawks.

Indiana is one player away from being really, really good.

Thought you said enjoy the Vacation, almost got me! Still, inflammation comes and goes, it's clearly bothering him right now. Did it bother him last year? who knows.

Ehh, fully healthy post Lance the Pacers played like a 5 seed, and numbers back it up.
