Round 1 Game 3 Cleveland Cavaliers (2-0) @ Indiana Pacers (0-2) THURSDAY, APRIL 20 7:00 PM ET

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Here's the major issue.

LeBron's not going all out....cause he's playing major mins and has been to 6 straight NBA finals. He physically can't turn it up to 10 like he use to when he was 24.

The rest of the Cavs players directly and indirectly follow LeBron's lead. Just having LeBron has these guys thinking they are better than they really are. Also when he chills...they chill. Cause they think they've earned it.

It really is troubling. I have no problem taking a loss to the Pacers, but this is ridiculous for a team competing for a championship.
 
I hope they get booted out in the first round. Get a new start next year with a new coach and players who give a damn
 
Sums up our level of play tonight.

I wish we had the effort/hustle that dude had en route to the trampoline.
 
i lost my words... lue do us a favour and fuck off after we get bounced in the 2nd round
 
Has a team ever lost a playoff game by this many and gone on to win the title?
 
WTF is going on? This is unbelievable. 74 points in a half is embarassing and unacceptable.

I guess luckily I was on a plane flight for the first half and didn't have to watch the atrocity.
 
PG has taken and made 8 free throws. The refs haven't been helping but this was a lost at tip based on the effort
 
I don't ever want to see Frye, RJ, and Shump on the court at the same time. That combination killed this team. The Cavs have yet to recover.
 
Looks like this is one of those LeBron "teaching" moments. It would be nice if it didn't have to happen in the playoffs when you are the fucking World Champions.
 
Clean out your office griff
Won't go that far. He's doing a solid job.

Unfortunately I do fear that the Cavs just aren't Spurs/Warriors caliber in the GM/HC department.

It makes it that much tougher to beat teams like that when they're so good from top to bottom.
 
My point was, I feel little anger as this result was mostly anticipated (I admit it's even worse than I expected). And that I also believe they will turn around and win 4 and 5 and move on.

But also that championship teams generally don't get thrashed like this. It's very strange being a fan of this team right now. A team that might very well still get to the finals and yet are not really enjoyable to watch. How the fuck is that possible?
 
Haven't gotten beat down this bad in the playoffs since Game 2 of the NBA Finals last year.

Could see Cavs trading baskets in the third quarter leading to garbage time in the fourth.

Gotta cleanse this game from the system and come out better for the next one.
