Live Thread: Pacers @ Cavs
2021-05-10Good evening CtB!
The Indiana Pacers come to Cleveland tonight to face off against what remains of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Last check there were nine players on the injury list for the Cavs. The Pacers have a bit of their own injury trouble, but that shouldn’t stop them from covering the 10 point (and probably increasing) spread. It could get ugly really quickly tonight given this a second game of a back to back for the Cavs.
Also, in case you haven’t heard, Coach Lindsay Gottlieb has accepted the head coaching position of the USC women’s basketball team. Being a huge fan of hers since day one, I am personally crestfallen at the thought of the Cavs losing a great basketball mind, but happy for her that she will be able to rightfully ply her trade as a head coach. All the best to you and I hope we see you back in the NBA making more history. Go Cavs!
Interesting game so far. Missed some moments of the third. Kabengele aggressive for sure.
Martin is bad, feel bad for him coming into an impossible situation.
let’s run some offense for Thomas c’mon guys
Okoro 13/8/4 so far…I know it’s a garbage time game, but not bad…
it’s legit!!! Indy just hates their coach LMFAOOOOO
OKORO COAST TO COAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RAGE TO INDY!
WADE WITH THE CLUTCH THREE!!!!!
OKORO STRAIGHT TO THE RACK!!!! GREAT PASS THOMAS TO WEAK SIDE!
WTF???? THE DEFENDER WAS IN THE RESTRICTED AREA????
THOMAS GREAT DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A BLOCK!
NICE PASS SEXTON!
except he should’ve just shot the floater, Sabonis had it read all the way LMFAO
NICE DEFENSE ALLEN AND THOMAS!
Sexton almost turned it over again..
FINALLY JB WAKES UP AND PUTS THOMAS BACK IN
WOW, Sexton had Allen deep in the paint, instead backboards a 3 LMFAOOOOOOo
PUT THOMAS BACK IN JB!!!!
5 on 4 and Sexton travels …..
Oh my god you gotta finish that Sexton don’t go for the poster
Was probably trying for the foul, but no dice…
LMFAOOO how is that a foul?????
OK nevermind LMFAOo
nice pass Okoro on the break.
yikes that almost looked disastrous for Sexton, glad he appears to be OK
Brodric Thomas with 17 huge minutes off the bench, also team leading +9 plus/minus

GREAT HANDS ON DEFENSE!!! WADE WHAT A PASS!!!!!
WHAT A FINISH SEXTON!!! nice pass Wade!
GREAT PASS THOMAS!!! GREAT CUT WADE!
SEXTON BLOW BY!!!! keep running at Sabonis!!!
If Sexton had any feel for the game, he would’ve anticipated the double team and gotten Wade a wide open 3.

hopefully Sexton will come back and play right instead of getting into it with Holiday.
dammit, Thomas and Martin inexperience showing last two possessions. Gotta tighten that handle up Thomas!!!
Dayum. Nice drive ice. Looked like dwyane wade there.
Dammit Wade, don’t hesitate, great pass Thomas
OKORO STRONG MOVE TO THE RIM!!!!
Ice
STEP BACK OKORO FOR THREE!!!!!! AND JB BENCHED SEXTON THANK GOD FOR HIS PETTY CRAP WITH HOLIDAY!
OH MY GOD Sexton blew the lay up LMFAOOOO
great pass Thomas though.
MARTIN WITH THE DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cabin Jelly
KABENGELE RAINING THREES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
G League energy to this one…
KABENGELE THREE!!!! KABENGELE STEAL!!!!!!!!
McConnell is a witch.
great pass Kabengele, Dot just missed, maybe Kabengele should’ve just taken the floater in the paint.
LMFAOOOOOO Sexton wanted the switch instead of giving it to Thomas for the actual mismatch LMFAOOOOO GREAT DRIVE THOMAS!
Cavs defending.
Kabenjelly strong putback!
Very
KABENGELE DOING WORK!!!!
wasn’t the prettiest, but gotta take that first quarter!!!
sounds like vintage Eastern Conference basketball
THOMAS GREAT HUSTLE PLAY!!!!!!!
damn that was a great call by the ref, I’m shocked LMFAOOOO
Wade with an infinitely better start about to equal his shot attempts from the last game in the first quarter here tonight.
HEY THOMAS TO THE BASKET!!!! where that been???
Confidence
Doubting either teams hits 100 in this one…
WADE WITH THE FADEAWAY!!!!
DOT FOR THREE!!!
LMFAOOOOOOOOO
nice to see the Cavs learn from their mistake yesterday, getting Allen involved on offense early and often.
ALLEN!!!!! GETTIN SOME BUCKETS!
Can’t say Sexton doesn’t play hard on offense…man’s rebound there…
Okoro is playing a lot more free and easy the last few weeks…still not too effective, but he used to look like he was in a straitjacket on offense…
only took 3/4 of the season for JB to figure it out!!!
Wade and Sexton looking awful to start.
nice set play, forgot which coach they bit that off of, there was an article about how Brad Stevens (i think?) took it from another coach.
Wonder if Indiana gonna mail it in since they all hate their head coach LMFAOOOOO
I read that Bleacher Report article in full…unbelievable stuff. Hard to believe he’ll ever get another head job. He just sounds like a douche.
oh yeah, and where was the due diligence I guess it was known league wide???!!!
Welp looks like I missed yr recap CLF – gonna head back & read it now, I am hearing quality rant, which I am here for!
Very intrigued by this: https://www.nba.com/cavaliers/pickem
Such a bummer about Lindsay, but good for her.

They may not even make the playoffs…
that sucks for him… but hopefully Charlotte can pass the Celtics, and the Wizards can bounce them out strictly speaking from a entertainment standpoint.
I’d love the Wizards to make a cinderella run… Russ has been playing like a mad man of late
Yup, exactly what I was thinking LMFAOOO
Thanks for getting the lt up, chris!
LMFAOOOOOO of course, I’m strapped in like Clockwork Orange over here!!!
hilarious metaphor for watching Cavs tank — can’t stop! thanks for posting, let’s hope Broderic Thomas comes out blazing and becomes Northeast Ohio’s answer to Gary Trent, Jr.
ROFL
Brodic Thomas career night speak it into existence!!! LMFAOOO
