Round 1 Game 2 | Pacers @ Cavs | Cavs lead 1-0| April 17, 2017

[Real Deal]

My god our offense down the stretch has been horrendous.

Gassed. It's obvious because they're great otherwise.

 

[godfather]

Cavs put a lot of effort in their major run, I just couldn't see them continue with it. Give credit to Indiana I guess.

To a 42-40 team?

 

[Soar]

Beautiful play.

 

[Tornicade]

The refs need a security guard when they do the replay now??

 

[czvo]

I don't recall that at all. All those games got uncomfortable at the end.

Game 2 didn't.

 

[czvo]

Great play drawn up by Lue. Now just get a damn stop and end this nonsense. (And don't foul a shooter)

 

[SteelSmack]

Nice defense there.

 

[Rob933]

I hope ty Lue changes our 4thq quarter lineup. The first two minutes always kill us.

 

[MrHoops]

Nice job Lue. Good job putting Deron in. It confused the hell out of the Pacers.

 

[Jake]

Plenty of time to rest if needed during the next two games, two days off between each. Time to fix what ails us.

 

[Rick Astley]

Shumpert is tonights MVP.

George from Sunday night maybe finishes this game off himself. Shump has been all up in his airspace. Great defense by him tonight. Great contest on Georges last 3.

Even with Love's stellar performance, the team only came alive after Shump's conquest. Coincidence? I think not.

 

[Taiter]

Should have gave the ball to Kyrie to close the game out. Not sure why we don't.

Kyrie is offensively so gifted and you love it when you need a bucket at the end of the game, but it's fools gold often earlier in the 4th because he hits a few and it gets the team to standing around on offense, then once he misses a few the run is on.

 

[Real Deal]

To a 42-40 team?

Not sure what you're saying here. Who cares about regular season wins and losses. This is a team that's better than your average 7th seed.

 

[czvo]

Gassed. It's obvious because they're great otherwise.

I was surprised he didn't try to sneak a couple minutes of rest in for LeBron to start the fourth. Then again, he rode that starting group for so long in the third that he would have had to take all the big three out, and that's a recipe for disaster.

 

[ACisKING]

That was a beautiful play. Love and Korver running a screen on one side while LeBron sets a screen for Kyrie. So many options
