The problem is that LBJ can see the writing on the wall with this team as well as we can.

It's not like the phantom elbow injury in 2010, where this team had a legitimate shot at the title if it got past Boston. This team, with the current rotations and coaching, has basically no chance. Hard to expect superhuman effort from the guy who probably sees this as a lost cause, without even the benefit of it being a good learning/developmental experience for younger players.

On the flip side, winning today only adds to the personal statement he's been making all season, that in his 15th season he can still dominate this league.
 
Hopefully not, but this could be the last time to see LeBron play as a Cav. If I had more notice, I would have flown up to be there to show my support for everything he's done for us over the years. Two of my kids are at the game for that very reason. I'm just stunned we couldn't sell 20,562 tickets to a game 7 that could be the last chance to give thanks for this

I will punch myself in the face if we lose Game 7. Luckily, we shall prevail. See you all in the next round.
 
Stunning collapse by the Pacers to George Hill and the bench mob was the difference in this game when Lebron went out.
 
Csavs were -40 over the series. What's the record for worst +/- and still win a series?

My gut says Cavs in 6, but I have no idea what to expect since all four of their regular season games took place before the deadline.

I hope Kev has his big boy pants on since he's guarding Myles Turner. They're also probably going to start with Green on Oladipo, and that's probably the worst possible wing for him to guard of any EC team. Oladipo uses pure speed to beat guys, and guarding those types of players isn't Jeff's strong suit.

The only thing I'm confident of is this is going to be a high scoring series. And if LeBron guards Bogdanovic, God help us because, for some reason, he doesn't seem to think that guy can shoot.

So my prediction was wrong. My hope for Kevin was kind of right. My fears about Green guarding Dipo were right. And I was dead wrong about it being high scoring.

But the Cavs didn't have an identity beyond "we have LeBron," while the Pacers were comfortable relying on what they developed throughout the season. That's the biggest reason we saw seven games, I think.
