22 point lead and Larry Bird still isn't happy.

Pacers playing out of their minds.

In this game a 26 point lead is not safe.

Still observing. PG13 fuégo!

U sure?

I think so.. They match up very well, especially in the interior, remember, they almost stole game one in Cleveland. I believe they would take the 2 home games in Indiana. McMillan is utilizing the rotation and strategy he used in the 3rd and 4th Quarter of game one in Cleveland, the only difference is the inclusion of more offense in the starting line up.

We never even play 1 minute and the Predators already have a power play.. Which kain wahala be this abeg? #blackhawks
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 1:35am On Apr 21, 2017
74-49 at half time? I doubt Pacers would score 74 points at half time past Phoenix. I don't know what is going on with the Cavs today but I cannot pretend the signs were not there all along. If Pacers sustain this run into the 3rd Q there would be no need for the 4th Q.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 1:42am On Apr 21, 2017
25 point lead shrunken to 15. Pacers getting all the 2nd chance opportunities but keep missing.

The Cavs have no answer for Lance as PG. If good Lance plays within his limits and controls his emotions, its over.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 1:51am On Apr 21, 2017
Back to 20. Back to Back 3s from Pacers responsible. Cavs are getting outrebounded but their 2nd half defense should encourage them going into game 4.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:00am On Apr 21, 2017
And Lebron is happening!!!! angry
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:03am On Apr 21, 2017
The Pacers have to weather this storm, big leads are deceptive and can be difficult to manage after halftime. T.Lue has responded to Lance by forcing him to jump shoot the ball. I think the Pacers can live with those low % 3 pointers from Lebron.

Apart from the great run, am I the only one looking at the refs with disgust
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:05am On Apr 21, 2017
Led by Giannis and Monroe, the Bucks are pummeling the Raptors at the Bradley Center. Its just the 2nd Q anyways.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:06am On Apr 21, 2017
20 point lead blown like a C4. Down to 7 now. Cherubim and Seraphim causing wahala with his fouls and bad shooting. The ball cannot seem to find its way to PG13s hands. 91-84. 4th Q to fight and die for the Pacers.

The Cavs also enjoyed home cooking from the refs.

For doing what?
Re: The NBA Begins by Skywalker5(m): 2:10am On Apr 21, 2017
I thought this Toronto team was hot but the bucks seems to be cooking them.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:15am On Apr 21, 2017
Pacers offence is off. Cleveland keep hitting big 3s after 3s. Lance has done enough and Teague should play point. By done enough I mean he is stinking up the joint.

Hotters. They may get a gentleman's sweep if they are not careful. They needed heroics to win 1 of their homecourt games. Not surprised they are getting spanked today.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:22am On Apr 21, 2017
98-96 with just under 7 to play. I still don't see why Lance is still facilitating yet he cannot shoot a fish in a barrel. They need to use the FT line to get into any sort of rhythm because if they lose this game, they would get swept.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:24am On Apr 21, 2017
Lebron flips the switch on the eastern conference whenever he wants!!!
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:26am On Apr 21, 2017
It would be interesting to see how McMillan ends this game.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:27am On Apr 21, 2017
Choiiii!! The predators have scored.. So na broom levels for us be that..
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:28am On Apr 21, 2017
No surprise: Lance leaves and Pacers find some form of offense again. 104-103 in their favor. Channing Frye and Korver are finishing the meals Lebron keeps feeding them.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:30am On Apr 21, 2017
The refs turned a blind eye on that foul by Lebron. That would have been his 5th.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:33am On Apr 21, 2017
As much as i detest him, Lebron has the keys and chooses when to lock an unlock.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:34am On Apr 21, 2017
Another big 3 by LBJ. Cavs lead by 4. 111-107. Myles Turner is a fugazi.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:36am On Apr 21, 2017
Why is Turner hugging the perimeter and shooting 3's?
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:39am On Apr 21, 2017
This is with Kyrie and K.Love sitting on the bench. Can we just award the Cavs the conference title? grin grin
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:40am On Apr 21, 2017
Cavs win this. Big dagger 3 by Frye. In Pacers defense, PG13 was fouled on a possession but the refs gave an out of bounds call in favor of Cavs. It was big.

114-107 with 54secs to go.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:46am On Apr 21, 2017
115-111 with 34secs to go. When you want to refer to a star player whose teammates let him down, PG13 and not Westbrook should top that list.

Game over. 119-114. Tied for biggest comeback in playoffs history in terms of points deficit. Cavs came back from 26 down. They will sweep this series. Funny enough a hunch made me say a 26 point lead would be insufficient to determine a winner.

I expect Spurs to go 3-0 up too so I won't waste my time anymore.

32 years old and Lebron is still a big problem.
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 2:55am On Apr 21, 2017
i didnt like tht big lead from pacers early on. All the shots were falling, and you get sloppy. Still, those 3s by Lebron were amazing - is that now his legit range shocked? Regardless, LBJ's mental game this year is interesting

Im not sure i wanted cavs to win this game. They may get lazy and think they can always turn it on in the second half
