The Cavs have to turn off the Tribe game and come out onto the floor of the Q at 7:30, but LeBron James, Shump, and Cedi Osman won’t be playing. LeBron is sitting because he doesn’t need preseason. Cedi has back spasms, and Shump is out for 10 days with an ankle sprain. Sitting out for the pacers: Ike Anigbogu – questionable (right knee surgery rehabilitation), Trey McKinney-Jones – out (left shoulder rehabilitation), Glenn Robinson III – out (left high ankle sprain), Edmond Sumner – out (left knee surgery rehabilitation). I only recognize one of those names.
The Pacers look to trot out their new starting lineup of Colison, Oladipo, Bojan Bogdanovic, Thad Young, and Myles Turner. Yep. This is another Nate Smith Money Ball squad. I’ve always liked Oladipo and Thad young, and was a Bojan fan in the draft. The Cavs will probably start the same squad from Wednesday: Rose, Wade, Smith, Crowder, and Love
Filling out the lineup for the Pacers: Corey Joseph (from the Raptors), “The Ear Whisperer” Lance Stephenson, Domantas Sabonis (came in the Paul George trade with Oladipo), (Mighty) Joe Young, Alex Poythress, and even NBA Journeyman Damien Wilkins (who has a shot to make the squad). The Pacers also have a bunch of training camp fodder.
Lets hope we see more structure on offense tonight, and less hijacks from Jeff Green. Feel free to sound off on the Tribe game while you’re live threading, and go Tribe… and Cavs.
There is just no good Indians blog with a vibrant commentariat Should have just stopped at Ctb..
What a twat
Frank ASSola spinning yarns with fact-twisting again. He just couldn’t help being a total jerk.
Man that Gomes throw from his knees…
The pickoff earlier in the game was insane. Santana didn’t have to move his glove.
One of the greatest baseball games I’ve ever seen.
What a game ;)
Lindor gives Gomes a Gatorade shower. “Whoo! That’s victory right there!” says Gomes.
YAN GOMES WITH AN INCREDIBLE AT BAT FOR THE WIN!
So much for the boo-boo. Gomes wins it! Wow!
What a great comeback win!
WHOOOO! Jackson and Gomes for the win!
Jackson steals 2nd. No bunt at 2-1 with Gomes. Tito boo-boo there.
Ok, work some counts, if the ump allows, against Betances. This is the inning where he might start to labor.
13th here we come. Yanks have a much better bullpen situation.
I can legit understand the frustration from the Yankees batter w/ that Umpire.
That was clearly above his ankles.
It’s about consistency.
Should have added this: /s
If Kluber had had this ump’s recent strike zone to work with, he’d still be in the game.
Yeah this guy is the worst!
Tomlin on for the Tribe. Salazar for game 4?
Or Bauer!
How about nobody for game 4?
Tribe making it to easy for the Yankees pitcher here in the 11th.
Cavs lose. Good early.
Ballgame! If I never see Kay Felder run another pick-and-roll it will be too soon.
Steal from Big Al. RJ fouled. Within 2.
Cavs got a stop & Frye an open 3. Miss.
This is one of the greatest baseball games I’ve ever seen, and one of the worst basketball games.
WHEW! Bottom of the 11th.
Allen out of it. Bottom 11.
Felder makes decent play. Zizic bobbles & gets fouled. Bricks FT. Makes 2nd.
Come on Cody!!!!
