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!
LoLance
Thank god JA is back, anyway…
I love this lineup. Bully Ball.
ALLEN DEFENSE!!!
ALLEN BBQ CHICKEN!!!!!! RAGE TIMEOUT!
Allen block count is an indicator of his form.
100% blocks and rebounds.
Love is red hot.
LOVE MIDRANGE MONEY
Goodwin needs to to get up on these three point shooter
BULLY BALL LOVE TO ALLEN they are spamming that big big look.
Nice steal, good instincts,Goodwin doing nice work.
The hungry wolf hunts best. Goodwin fighting for his NBA life.
He has earned a renewal 10 day at least.
At a minimum.
Certainly pushing a case for more minutes even after DG gets back.
Tell you what,K Love is showing some serious leadership,aggressiveness,and veteran experience.He’s keeping them in games.
Pretty impressed with Goodwin…he’s been better than I imagine Rondo will be…
Hopefully one of the diamonds unearthed by pandemic measures.
What a finish to the quarter holy cow! More Goodwin!!!!
Kevin Love!
Ha! Love a buzzer beater.
Attaway KLove
NBA CHAMPION LOVE BUZZER BEATER
LOVE!!
GOODWIN. May we never see Pangos again
GOODWIN DEFENSE!!!
Wow. What a run-recovery. I thought it might be over.
Pacers can’t complain about about that call with all the garbage they’ve gotten this game.
LOVE GOT HIM A BIRD!!!!!!!!!!!
WADE HUSTLE. F@#K YEAH
KLove Pressure!!!
Nice hustle Wade
WOW Goodwin had it and lost it.
GREAT HUSTLE DEFENSE CAVS!!!!!!!!!!
Tried to double clutch instead of releasing at top of jump. Also jumped too soon.
Love’s passing >>>>>>>>>>>
Lol. Lance broke his own ankles there.
THOSE LOSSES TO THE PELS// WIZARDS AFTER WE HAD BIG LEADS–ESPECIALLY THE PELS—GOING TO REALLY “HAUNT ” US
And hopefully prove educational.
JARRETT ALLEN HOW DO YOU DO!!
JA not on his game yet. Confident he’ll find his rhythm but it might not be tonight.
U were saying?
And then JA throws down, haha
Defensive intensity lifting.
Big time bucket Steven’s. Let’s hope Cav can overcome the officiating here.
Goodwin good SC awareness….not all players have that.
STEVENS AND ONE!!
Woooo Stevens looking strong 💪
Yuck.
Lot more whistles than earlier this seasons. Annoying.
G league refs
Ahhhh good point
FTr has reverted right back to last year’s rate.
Allen gotta do better than that, brutal play.
Yeah,nobody out there but maybe Stevens who’s a physical presence.
AGREE WCC—-J.B. THINKING THER SAME —THIS IS A “MUST ” WIN GAME—STOP THE BLEEDING —ESPECIALLY WITH THE SCHEDULE AHEAD OF US——DON’T WANT TO GO ON 7-8-9 GAME LOSING STREAK——-LOSE THAT MOMENTUM// CONFIDENCE //
Pangos is one of the worst defenders ive ever seen.
Cavs need to move on from him. He plays scared and he’s soft as a baby’s ass
STEVENS TO THE RACK NICE PLAY!
Our defense has gone to shit
MARK DEEP POST!
3RD QTR NOT FRIENDLY TO THE CAVS
Love big bucket post work.
Gotta love these “if the ball doesn’t go in the hoop I’ll blow the whistle” refs.
GARLAND// RUBIO AND CEDI WERE// ARE BIG PART OF CAVS EARLY SUCCESS—THROW IN ICE GETTING HURT ALSO
Who is gonna stop Sabonis?
Amazing how this team has gone from throttling opponents to not being able to manufacture an open look half the time. Are Garland and Rubio that good at point? Or are their replacements that bad?
yes Garland and Rubio by far the two best Cavs at manufacturing their own shot and creating for others.
Yes to both. Although I think Goodwin has something. Pangos is not an NBA player
We need to win this game. We got some rough waters ahead
Sabonis ouch
MOBLEY ANOTHER FADEAWAY J!!!!
THAT “QUESTIONABLE ” ABOUT ICE IS ABOUT THE SAME AS THE MRS MOMADS” MAYBE ” EVERY FRIGGIN NIGHT :-(
GOODWIN IS > THAN PANGOS
Way
disagree, Pangos has played pretty well tonight.
Wowee Goodwin!!!!
GOODWIN HANGS IN THE AIR AND FINISHES!
Goodwin has some game
GOODWIN NASH TO JA!!!!
Good sign.

Hell yeah. That was scary
GOING TO NEED THAT ” ALL GRIT —NO QUIT ” ATTTITUDE REST OF THE GAME
WASHINGTON HAVING A NICE GAME FOR THE PACERS —-BEING AN EX BUCKEYE I WOULD NORMALLY ROOT FOR HIM—NOT TONIGHT
I MISSED IT ICE GOT HURT ???
He ran into sabonis pick and hyperextended his arm. It didn’t look good.
Sabonis is carrying these guys. Bench gotta build a lead in the 3rd/4th.
Argh. Bad two for one shot.
Man after so many years of watching TT getting stuffed at the rim I love our bigs throwing the hammer down !
