Live Thread: Pacers @ Cavs
2022-01-02Good evening and welcome to 2022 CtB!
Tonight, the Indiana Pacers venture to the shores of Lake Erie to take on the Cavs in a tough Central Division matchup. In spite of the Pacers’ terrible record, they sport a positive point differential. The Cavs will have to play tough and smart in order to take down the Rick Carlisle-led Pacers.
Both teams are missing crucial players due to illness/injuries, so it’s tough to know what to expect from this game, aside from probably some bad guard play given all the absences. Regardless, it still counts in the standings. Hopefully the Cavs stars Kevin Love, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen shine bright and take down Indiana’s own twin towers, Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner.
Tip off is scheduled for 6:00PM ET and will be broadcasted on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, GO CAVS!
Mobley even has a soft touch on dunks.
JA!!
ALLEN with the trick shot AND the bird!!
ALLEN AND ONE!!!!!!!!!
Great push by Goodwin! Fantastic feed Mobley!

Hope that’s just a stinger/sprain.
He hyperextended his arm. That was ugly.

I did a doubletake when I saw Stevenson. Thanks for explaining!
Lol. Weird as hell
Pangos has to be ready to do something with the ball when he comes off that curl screen. He was wide open for a shot. Let defense recover.
Lucky on that call. Nice drive Stevens!
damn Mobley getting an education tonight going against Sabonis in the paint.
WADE TO STEVENS GREAT HUSTLE AND DRIVE!
Pacers have to cool off eventually. Everything regresses to the mean
WADE TO LOVE KICKOUT!
James Dean Wade.
WADE DRIVE AND FINISH AND ONE!!!! WHAT A PLAY!!!!
OFF HAND DRIVE TOO!!!!!
Defensive mojo is wearing off lately. Hope they can pick it up.
A lot of people don’t realize how well DG and Rubio were defending.
Finding out now apparently
Wade should’ve used the foul to give there. Nice finish Goodwin.
Indiana came to play tonight, but Cavs are matching their energy!
GOODWIN MISMATCH TO THE CUP!
LOVE MID POST MAGIC!
MOBLEY WITH THE SOFT TOUCH!
Always
So good.
GREAT DEFENSE WADE damn didn’t get rebound
GOODWIN HUSTLE LOVE IT.

Lauri finally gets one to drop.
3 PT SHOT IS A LAYUP FOR KLOVE
K-Love. Mr. Automatic

Careful what you wish for
LMFAOOOO NOT THAT SHOT!!! LMFAOOOOOOOo

Bonkers. Not giving up faith on it coming back for him. Cavs need to find what worked for him in the past and get him going.

I would not be surprised to see Indy balling out tonight as some of their guys are auditioning to join a NEO playoff team.
HOPE THE CAVS CAN STOP THE BLEEDING TONIGHT —-HOPING FOR A BIG GAME FROM LAURI // ESPECIALLY HIS 3 PT SHOT—-WOULD NOT GIVE PANGOS TOO LONG A LEASH—PUT GOODWIN IN SOON
Anyone know when our PGs return?
DG is a game to game decision, hopefully the COVID was as mild as possible.
Rondo just cleared Protocol IIRC
But trade hasn’t been executed i think
