Live Thread: Cavs vs Pacers
2020-02-29The Pacers aren’t much in danger of falling past the sixth seed in the east with an 8 win lead against the Magic, but after going 4-6 in their last 10, losing Jeremy Lamb to an ACL tear, and battling injuries throughout the season (Oladipo remains questionable tonight), they could sure use a get right game against the Cavs.
The Cavs meanwhile, are sitting TT, which is a good move given his general awfulness in back-to-backs this season, and starting Andre Drummond who’s been out the last two games because of sucking and making us all realize the Pistons fleeced Cleveland a calf strain. Let’s hope he has his own get right game.
Alfinzo McKinnie remains out as does Dante Exum. Let’s hope Delly and Ante Zizic can continue their positive bench play as they fill in for the injured rotation guys. Edmund Sumner is also out for Indiana. Key to this one will be a bounce back for Kevin Porter Junior who had a rough shooting night against New Orleans, and Kevin Love giving a crap. Predicting a Pacers win, 115-107.but a Cavs upset isn’t unfathomable. Go Cleveland.
Garland missed Love on the pop out…. BUT GOT THE FINISH AGAIN!!!
DG with the dipsy doo’s…
HOOOO BOY NICE FINISH GARLAND!
nice defense, tip your cap to Indy that possession.
Dipo misses a true bunny
LMFAOOOO that was awful!
KPJ’s JUMPER IS ON TONIGHT!
nice finish Garland, but you haven’t shot one three this game.
those were sweet! Nice to see Drummond having fun, raising the roof after that dunk
He’s been a stud tonight against top competition… save for those two 3s LOLOLOL
TOUCHDOWNS GALORE!!!!!!
Wow deja vu with roles reversed
Nice find Love, Drummond returns the favor.
Or the other way around.
Nice outlet drummond
nice read Sexton, LOVE FADEAWAY!
Awful shot sexton
yup… worst possible shot that possession.
Bit sloppy.
two terrible passes Garland…. rage TO
Nice pass Cedi!!!
WTF Drummond, didn’t trust Sexton to give it back.
Have my doubts he would have, but bad decision.
Agreed LMFAOOOO
Jesus. Pistons hammering guys.
WOW, nice find Sexton!!!
CEDI 3!!!
Bad defense Sexton on Dipo… looks like Dipo’s gotten himself going after an awful start..
and an airball for Sexton SMH, move the ball!
SEXTON FOR THREE!!!
if nance could put the ball in the hole he would be a heck of a player..
Good foul Garland… prevented the easy bucket…. nice box out Love, got the over the back.
Banana in the tailpipe…
got lucky with that LOL… should’ve just shot the wide open look that was there initially.
Yep…I was annoyed, but he got bailed out…
#veteranmove LMFAOOO
drummond feasting.. NOMAD.. i am not ready to go negative on the drum.. this still might work.. if the other vets grow up and act like professional adults.. perhaps bee-line was much of the problem, and they needed to act out to get rid of him..if so, at least now this main excuse is no longer hovering.. always thought they needed a brother with some bona fides.. is bick it ? watching and waiting..
Sexton and Garland 13 shots, no threes.
at least they have 5 assists, 1 turnover.
Sexton caught on the screen, late contest…
Garland bad shot selection, bad defense on Dipo.
Garland doesn’t take nearly enough 3s… another bad shot in the paint.
OMG DRUMMOND COAST TO COAST!!!! Drummond is abusing Turner tonight!!!
KPJ got caught trailing on defense… looking tired… on cue, Sexton back in.
Warren is balling out.
GREAT DEFENSE DRE!!! KPJ TO CEDI ON THE BREAK!
WOW, that was KPJ ON THE BLOCK!
What are you doing Delly.. might’ve been two of his worst passes of the year.
DRUMMOND ANOTHER POST FINISH!
Delly with an awful play.. should’ve swung it back to Garland, back to Love.
where’s the rebounding Love and Drummond???
Love KPJ…so fun…
AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT MIKEO—WHICH WOULD BE TOTALLY FINE WITH ME
Delly with a mid range j. Can’t remember a time I have seen him make one
FORGOT TO PUT TATUM IN THAT GROUP—MIGHT MOVE HIM AHEAD OF MORANT
Seems by the box score drummond is playing ok
THINGS FOR KPJ TO WORK ON THIS SUMMER —SHOOTING ( MECHANICS )—–DECISION MAKING –PASSING ……TEMPER WHEN POOR CALL IS MADE
All true, but I can see him being some sort of Ginobli type of player if he maximizes his talent…
Damn, Sexton just made a harder layup LMFAOOOO
Amazed sexton finished that against sabonis
Nice finish by Sexton…
Sexton gets the angle but blows the easy layup… also Love was wide open for 3.
SO ESPN POSED THE QUESTION IN 5 YRS WHO DO YOU WANT ON YOUR TEAM—-TRAE/ MORANT/ DONKA / ZION——–THINK THAT IS A NO BRAINER —-1)-ZION….2) DONKA ….3) MORANT….4 ) TRAE …….5) ” NOMAD COMING OUT OF RETIREMENT “
Zion, but Doncic isn’t far behind…large gap between those two and Trae. I’m not convinced yet that Trae can find a fit on a really good team. He’ll have to reign it in.
Here is a controversial view given me being a huge zion supporter. Doncic, Zion, Morant, Clarke.
Doncic only due to concerns about Zion longevity and control of his weight going forward. From a bball standpoint, Doncic game probably translates tot the playoffs better at this stage as Zion is very one dimensional offensively right now and won’t get anywhere near as many runouts in the playoffs.
Love bad pass just shoot the ball in paint!!!
KPJ TAKES THE CHARGE!
DELLY FLOATER!
bad pass KPJ, 4 point swing… Sexton or Delly burned on the weak side on defense.
KPJ WHAT A PASS LOVE FINISH!! KPJ DEFENSIVE PLAY FORCES TO!
WOW 11 ASSISTS IN 1 QTR —–LOVIN IT !!!————JUST CAN’T GET A GOOD READ ON DRE —-I WANT / HOPE HE PERFORMS WELL AND WANTS TO BE HERE —-JUST NOT “ALL IN ” YET
bad pass Sexton, right idea at least.
WHAT A PASS NANCE!!!! KPJ 3!
Sexton coast to coast!!! always a one man fastbreak lol
KPJ WITH THE DRIVE AND FINISH!
LOVE THRU CONTACT AND1!
UNBELIEVABLY AWFUL DEFENSE SEXTON… lost his man backside, easy layup.
KLOVE post work!
Good look Nance, gotta hit that over Brogdon.
Garland and Drummond with great first quarters…. but still at least two wasted possession from Drummond taking ill-advised 3s.
NICE LOOK GARLAND! KPJ FOR 3!!!
I NEVER WATCH LIVE BUT WILL TRY TO JOIN YOU WITH MY ” SPOT ON / PROFESSIONAL ” WISDOM / OPINIONS : -)
CLF “SOLO ” SHOW –CAN’T ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN : -)
YOU DA MAN NOMAD!!!
OMG why u do that Drummond.
Dre can’t be stopped in the paint!
Dre don’t shoot that…. NICE TRANSITION BUCKET CEDI! Some great defense by Love on Turner!
Nice finish Garland… strong take!
awful call ref, Garland with good defense.
HOOOO BOY! Dre looks like a different player when he’s working in the paint! Great cut by him got the foul!
Dre early seal in transition, easy layup!
