Playoff Live Thread: Cavs @ Pacers, Game 3
2018-04-20
Well, we didn’t expect to be here, did we? The Cavaliers head to Indiana to face a Pacers squad that had shocked many by splitting the first two games of this playoff series. Now, as the series moves to Bankers Life Fieldhouse, a place where the Cavaliers have seemingly always struggled, the question is whether or not LeBron James‘s supporting class can step up and give The King some help. Things don’t look great, but if there’s one thing we know about the Cleveland Cavaliers, it’s to expect the unexpected.
George Hill please…
Hood hesitating…. terrible.
Easily a charge.
Still have to put codes in to comment. :(
They could’ve used Nance that whole quarter for O-rebounds during that brickfest.
you would think the coaching staff would call a timeout and correct…maybe LeBron is saving himself for 4th. Either way…I hate Lue…this code thing gotta go :)
It’s nice to have readable comments, but the code thing has me reconsidering my MVP vote for Nate
LBJ probably gassed… those are the shots you take when you’re tired.
Why don’t we have any offensive sets. Run a pick an roll. Run some weak-side screens, make some cuts, move the ball around the perimeter. dribble hand-offs, something
Insanely awful offense that quarter.
Love and Lebron were horrible.
That horrible quarter is mostly on James stalling the offense, Korver missed threes and Love turnovers. http://www.pleasedrivetotheholeLeBron.com
nah it’s on the coaching to not have plan when play stagnates
true
Goodness, gracious. What the heck is our offense…. like this can’t actually be an NBA offense
Somebody needs to find the range, whether it’s Korver, Love or Jeff freaking Green…
This team is not a contender right now. Can you imagine putting up third quarters like this against the Warriors or Houston. Hell, Philadelphia or Toronto would destroy us. Hood, Clarkson, Green, gimpy Love – these guys are not playoff caliber right now.
Bro, I’m worried about Indiana
theres the cavs i know
Awful quarter. Score 12. D was OK. Only gave up 23.
What a disaster of a quarter…capped off with a stupid play from Clarkson…
How do you score 12 points in a quarter with LeBron James on the floor?
LeBron giveth, and LeBron taketh away…
It would seem to be impossible
12 points. Rad.
Eff these refs…
Just an awful offensive quarter…
Someone told the Cavs it was the first quarter
Don’t like Hood threes off the bounce…
Bron killing us with stagnation & settle.
Turner needs to be neutralized. Free ANTE PLEASE…
Cavs again fail to box out…
Hey LeBron… how about mixing in a drive or two?
James grinding the offense to a halt and not driving
10 points this quarter.
Green should be immediately benched any time he takes a 3
Had to take that one. He passed on an easier one.
Clock was running down… and it just rimmed out…
Cavs have missed a ton of shots this quarter, some of them wide open looks…
Cavs have stopped driving… I don’t understand this…
Don’t think anyone does…
Pacers more aggressive. We are too happy tovshoot jumpers.
BALL DON’T LIE!
LeBron has taken some not great shots this game…
I hope he begins to drive more in the 4th quarter.
JR trying to party like it’s 2006
That was almost dunk of the year for JR…
Hill has to hit that.
Have to put a code in now to make comments
Bogdan has LBJ in arm lock… doesn’t understand the call… LOL
STILL NO NANCE.
LNJ gonna have to play whole 4th for D…
True.
Too casual from Bron.
LeBron does a Steph Curry. Just stupid
Cheap foul call on KLOVE.
Love needs to sit for a minute. Korver off tonight.
Cmon Kev, play strong
JR with a clutch 3!!!
Bron inside-out to Swish, like old times.
Do we have to do this code thing with every comment?
C’mon Lue… hold KLOVE accountable!!!
Kyle is very un-flamma-blanca like today…
Korver is killing the team with these misses.WTF
Big three from JR!
Three turnovers for Kev this quarter… thumb?
Now the Cavs are going back to the habit of letting teams back in the game.
This is the part that scares me. Things start going against us and Lue has to make an ‘adjustment.’
Comment system fixed! (refresh the page)
Two bad turnovers by Love and Korver misses two wide open threes.
Kevin Love is playing way too relaxed with the ball.
They need energy… Nance should’ve been in already.
Love needs to sit….not mentally in the game…complaining too much….you know the refs suck just force them to blow the whistle
Nate for MVP!
Not a good first 5 minutes.
4 friggin points.
Some really sloppy play here…
LBJ terrible shot against Bogdan.
Bron missing a lot of his pet shots tonight…
4 fouls on JR…
They are letting a lot of body contact go…
C’mon Korver that’s your shot!!!
Kyle! Dang it man you’re wide open
WHAT AN INTERCEPTION JR!!!!
Finally they call the moving screen on Turner…
Kyle hit the doggone shot
