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

[Walter White]

The big three was monstrous today. Incredible. And Shump's defense and energy was amazing.

Just hope JR is okay.

 

[Meny]

Another bad game but 2-0

Will be curious to know the extent of JR's injury.
Hoping it's minor..

Got the win.

All I can say. Two straight games giving up 50% shooting. Can. Not. Defend.

They played one quarter of defense tonight. Combined with game 1, that makes 1 quarter of defense played over two games. That is very concerning.

Lebron doesn't look happy with the win. Rightfully so. This won't cut it if they wanna repeat.

We shouldn't be happy. We can't defend, against Indy. In our own building.

We're going to be playing much better teams than them later on.

We've been horrific defensively all season long. Yes, I know, it's good we won. It's a win. But if we want to continue "winning" as the playoffs go on, we better resemble a team that can defend. And right now, we are not a good defensive team and this is why a team like Indy stays in the game when they shouldn't.

Your comment just made him feel bad.

Nah, browsing on a cell phone tends to lead to a mis-hap here or there.

Sorry about the game though, I know you consistently root for the Cavs to lose, so I know you were getting excited at the end there. Maybe next time.

I didn't mean to disagree with the post, hence why I took it away about 10-20 seconds after I noticed I hit it, even before you posted this absolute gem.

Jumping the gun is what you do best though.

Cause its so out of ordinary for you to smash that red check!

 

[Simmy]

Despite being allergic to leads and falling in love with the 3 ball when your offensive game plan has been near flawless, that was a win they needed moving forward.

Who'd have thunk it that Shump was the one holding his own switch all along?

I hope LeBron's pod is Kingsize.

He had 8 turnovers. He should be pissed.

 

[Rick Astley]

So we all agree we should trade Love for Melo this summer?

RIGHT GUYS???

People still go on with this shit even after the ring?

Honestly, Paul George is just hitting incredible shots. Our margin of victory would be better if he wasn't just throwing up lucky bs shots.

We have to get used to this and learn to adapt to it. Every team has them and it's frustrating at times. Even the trashiest players out there can lit us up and this was even when we were a good defensive team. SAD!

Best part of this game was Shump playing decently. Deron gave some good minutes too. Onto the next one.

Are we sure it wasn't just a pride injury?

Did he as actually come up with a tweak in the second qtr or was this just a nice way of benching him for the 2nd half?

I don't even think defense is why this game wasn't close. Yeah, we shot well, but also turned it over a lot. Add the fact that we went full retard on offense down the stretch and we got ourselves a close game.
