Live Thread: Pacers @ Cavs
2025-04-13Good afternoon CtB!
The Cavs welcome Central Division rival Indiana Pacers to the thawing banks of the Cuyahoga River to wrap up the 2024-25 NBA regular season and begin their playoff journey. For the Cavs, it’s been a historic ride this year and expectations are sky high in The Land that the good guys are on the precipice of a post-LeBron dynasty for the rest of the decade. But first, a classic divisional rivalry to get the competitive juices flowing.
Tip-off is scheduled for 1:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Fanduel Sports Network, Go Cavs!
INJURY REPORT: Cavs are loading managing their top nine rotation, Pacers are load managing their starting lineup.
LMFAO Indy has missed three straight points blankers.
5
6!
7!
8! But furphy ends the drought.
This game is drunk.
JAYLON TYSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol. TT got away with a goaltend. Can we just play next point?
Cavs over passing. CPJ gotta shoot there
OKE – DOKE DDDNT SHOW A WHOLE LOT—- NY EXPECTATIONS WERE PROBABLY TOO HIGH—— GREEN / NYQUIL GOING TO FOUL OUT
Pat Connaughton with 38 for the Bucks
To be fair the pacers were playing starters.
Bonus basketball!
GOOD GAME FOR A SO CALLED MEANINGLESS GAME
Incredible display of bed shitting.
the kids are having fun
Zoo crew blew this game in the 4th.
Jfc zoo crew.
Emoni…
This is an adventure!
Great block Tyson but D boards still a problem.
Like that Kenny let em play through it. CPJ keeps it 6.
Money ‘Moni!
Big bucket, Tyson.
Cavs gave up that giant lead
Put green back in.
IS NYQUIL STILL 2 WAY IR DID HE SIGN REGULAR CONTRACT
2 way
Don’t look now but Cavs gotta focus.
Good timeout. Cava lost their focus when Tomlin banged his knee.
(understandably)
I was hoping the way to he was holding it, he just banged his knee. It will hurt tomorrow, but glad he’s good.
GOOD NEWS IN NYQUIL
NO – NO-NO – NYQUIL ——- SAME THING HAPPENED LAST YEAR LAST GAME/ CPJ 🤬
Uh oh. I hope Tomlin is ok Hope it’s just the pain of banging his knee.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NYQUIL INJURED
HOPE IT’S NOT A TORN KNEE
Bates again. Love Tomlin on the boards. I queued up Cavs on my laptop while watching guards.
EMONI WITH THE SMOOTH J,
“ MR “ BATES IS AUTOMATIC FROM 3 – GREAT TO SEE
WOW NATE IS “ THE “
MRS NOMAD AT YOUR HOUSE 🤪
MORE BEER, PLEASE
LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
NYQUIL HAS A QUICK RELEASE FOR A BIG 👍🏀💪
OK, guys. Wife woke up from her nap, and I had to switch over to the start of the Guards (no spoilers). Looking forward to a podcast this week kicking off the post-season next weekend!
yes sir!! I’m watching Masters back and forth
STUPID/ CARELESS PASS BY BATES —- THAT PASS WONT GET YOU MINUTES UP HERE—- KA NOT HAPPY!!
CLF I AM MORE THAN INTRIGUED—- IAM CONVINCED ( NYQUIL )
Ugly drive Bates. Scores anyway. Indy is totally checked out.
The only bummer this game is Travers still does not look like an NBA player.
Green may foul out. That’s 4.
Really want to see Okoro play well against Atlanta so the Cavs have a realistic trade destination for him.
That being said, Javonte Green was a great signing because he pushed Okoro to be better, and he has been.
20 points for Tyson.
11th Cav to hit 20 this year: Spida, DG, Mobes, Fro, Strus, Jerome, Merrill, Hunter, Tyson + LeVert & Niang.
CPJ needs 3 for #12.
Tomlin has a shot too with 15.
Tomlin in double figures for the first time for us. Bates is a good bet from here.
CPJ and Tyson could get 20.
Oops I thought the Cavs were playing at 6. Did JA play for less than a minute?
19 seconds.
Still featured on the Fanduel Parlay for 4+ rebounds. What a scam.
CPJ ELITE REBOUNDER FOR HIS SIZE
JAVONTE RACK ATTACK!!!
NYQUIL GETTING TO THE RIM EASILY… I’M INTRIGUED
CAVS GO 15 DEEP………… “ MORE BEER 🍺 PLEASE “ 👍🏀💪
REALLY LIKE CPJs DEMEANOR/ GAME!!! ——— TYSON IS PLAYOFF READY!!!
CPJ EARNING SOME MINUTES TOO HOPE YOU’RE PAYING ATTENTION KENNY!!!!!!!
JAYLON TYSON IS EARNING SOME MINUTES!!!!! USE YOUR LEFT HAND JAYLON
Yeah. Great move. Gotta finish left.
game getting a little ragged.
CPJ SHOOTING THE 3 WITH CONFIDENCE!!!!
Shot has been much better this year. He’s one of those shooters that’s better off the bounce than catch-and-shoot, but he’s improving at both.
I agree go Cavs
SO HAS NYQUIL —— PACERS PLAYING SOME STARTERS —MOST REGULARS —- OUR GLEAGUE CAVS ARE COMPETING!!!
WOW IF BATES FIGURES IT OUT—- GET STRONGER LOOK OUT!!
Tyson’s been really impressive.
NYQUIL / TOMLIN COULD GIVE YOU MINUTES IN PLAYOFFS IF NEEDED——- “ MR “ BATES 3 PT SHOT IS PURE!!!
NYQUIL / TYSON HAVE GOOD CHEMISTRY——- TYSON TAKING OVER!!
TYSONs 3 PT SHOT LOOKING BETTER/ MORE CONFIDENT—- LOOK OUT NEXT YEAR 👍👍
I LOVE NYQUIL —- LOOK AT HIS HUSTLE!!!!
“MR” BATES WITH A PURE 3 —— TYSON FOLLOWS UP 👍🏀
TYSON CAN BE OUR HART
NYQUIL NEEDS MINUTES—- SO DOES TYSON ( CHICKEN)
Jaylen Tyson agenda!
NYQUILs SHOT IS PURE ——-CPJ — NO FEAR !!!
That clippers/warriors battle gonna be big.
GO – GO OKE – DOKE – EO !!
G LEAGUE CAVS —- LFG ——-( THAT IS FOR YOU CLF ) 👍🏀👍🏀
#MOREBEERPLEASE
Thanks for getting LT, Chris! I’m back from vacay as of a couple hours ago and psyched to see the bottom of the roster guys go.
YES SIR!!! I AGREE GO CAVS!
There are 5 Cavs who have not hit double figures for us this year: TT, Okeke, Bates, Travers, and Tomlin.
I’d love for them all to get there today.
