Win Sunday, even things up, get home court back, and come home to take command back. Different game when full strength

Yes, it was great to see those guys heal up so fast. All of them showed why they are needed. It was quite humorous to see the Pacers whining when play started getting physical AGAINST them. We can only hope a meltdown has been triggered, but I actually expect them to come out hot on Sunday. The Cavs need to withstand it and overcome it to come back home 2-2.

Mitchell and Mobley again show why they are untouchable. And as a bonus, Mitchell seems to be finding his outside shot.

What in the hell is up with Jerome? He's playing like the kid picked last in a playground game that's trying to prove he's better than everyone thinks.

Team worst -15 BPM 😬 another horrid night shooting and he still thought it was a good idea to take 8 freaking shots in only 13 minutes!!! He would have had another 20+ shot night, despite not being able to hit water if he fell out of a boat, if Atkinson didn’t park his azs on the bench where it belongs.

I was wondering that myself …. and after watching, he looks hurt to me … never was quick, but he really is not moving well … I think something is wrong with his right knee .. well that and he has lost all confidence … I would be feeling really good right now, but the Cavs need him to be the player he has been all season (or what brian thinks)

The Cavs are the better team, but the better team does not always win … especially with a heavy reliance on the 3 point shot … just look at game one … to me this series is a coin flip now … that is why losing game two hurts so much.

Michael Jordan wasn't the player Brian thinks Jerome is! LOL He's certainly a valuable piece and it would be great to get him back on track.

He struggled with a calf issue in season so maybe that's been re-aggravated. He's had a number of leg issues in his career.
 
I knew the Cavs would put together a good performance last night. I just hope they can duplicate it Sunday and set up a best of 3 with 2 of them being in Cleveland. Cavs win tomorrow I think we get a Cavs in 6 but if they lose I don't want to think about that.

Nuggets up 2-1 after last night against 68 win OKC and Boston looking to avoid a 3-0 hole this afternoon. Playoffs definitely not boring.
 
I'm a huge basketball fan, but the NBA game is getting harder and harder to watch and enjoy. Officials are so inconsistent on what they enforce and what they let go. But I think my biggest issue is the constant whining and complaining after EVERY call. I'm not sure the NBA puts up with. Start assessing technical fouls. Start tossing guys. Clean it up. It's getting to the point that it feels like "entertainment", like WWE wrestling.

Also, I've now grown to hate the Pacers. Bunch of babies. Bunch of cheap shots. Game 4 is going to be pretty intense, as the Pacers don't want to relinquish home-court advantage and the Cavs need to tie up the series.

And I assume Brian went into hiding? I have him on ignore, but his boy has been beyond terrible in this series. But we're going to need him at some point, espeically since Garland feels like one bad stumble away from missing time again.

Same here as to the ignore, but he's likely been busy deleting awful posts. With the volume that could be quite time consuming.

...and that azzwipe Draymond is the poster child for this type of behavior. He actually thinks the NBA refs have an agenda against him.
 
Biggebst game tonite in most of these Cavs players careers .Will rhey step up and show their worth???? Diamond says NOPE . Pacers will humble them again to go up 3-1 . They ( Cavs) already played their trump card(3-2 zone) .If they try that again,Pacers will carve it up this game. No more arrows in the quiver for Cavs .

They lose this series and they go into next year as a total who cares until the second round of the playoffs. They can go 80-2 next season and nobody is going to believe they can get anywhere in the playoffs until it actually happens. The only way they could regain fan interest is to change the roster in the offseason, because nobody is going to believe in this group.

He’s coaching what he was given and his main edict was to get some offense moving through Mobley. He did that. He’s limited in the playoffs with the small guards and he doesn’t need Allen and Mobley down low. Garland and Allen on the trading block again this offseason. Maybe there will be something worthy of a deal this summer?
