Live Thread: Pacers @ Cavs
2021-05-10Good evening CtB!
The Indiana Pacers come to Cleveland tonight to face off against what remains of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Last check there were nine players on the injury list for the Cavs. The Pacers have a bit of their own injury trouble, but that shouldn’t stop them from covering the 10 point (and probably increasing) spread. It could get ugly really quickly tonight given this a second game of a back to back for the Cavs.
Also, in case you haven’t heard, Coach Lindsay Gottlieb has accepted the head coaching position of the USC women’s basketball team. Being a huge fan of hers since day one, I am personally crestfallen at the thought of the Cavs losing a great basketball mind, but happy for her that she will be able to rightfully ply her trade as a head coach. All the best to you and I hope we see you back in the NBA making more history. Go Cavs!
Missed the entire game, so I only have this to share. I did lol.

Tank rolls on. Houston on 16. Detroit at 20. Cavs, OKC, Minny, & Orlando on 21.
Minny at Detroit tomorrow is the last tank v tank game of the year.
SA blowing out Milwaukee at the moment. A Bucks L reduces the 76ers magic # to clinch the #1 seed to 1. Why do we care? Philly’s last two games are against Orlando. Love to see them sit everyone for those last two.
There’s no way orlando wins those games.
If Philly rests everyone, they have a shot. Simmons is already out.
jaylen brown out for season.. too bad, i would have preferred boston be embarrassed with a full complement..
Fully agree. The injury will probably ensure Brad’s job is safe too.
kudos where kudos due,, nice eve for ice.. keep up the effort young man..
Congrats n your fantasy championship, DanK!
Thanks!!! Still can’t believe it was decided by 1 reb. If Theis hadn’t sat out Vintage would have it. Super fun league hope it’s around again next season !
Theis wasn’t projected to be out when I picked him up :((
Would’ve been a crime if I stole that championship though – you were in first all year
Think the Pacers got this
covered the spread, that’s a W
Man I know the tank rolls on but would nice to see Cavs get 1 win and not lose 14 in a row to close the season?
yeah, gonna be funny that the Cavs won’t hit the Vegas over when a bunch of Cav fans were crowing about how improved we are LMFAOOOOOOO
Yikes I know… ugh tanking just sucks
cavs should build a roster of undrafteds.. would be more fun than “pretend we are a pro team with pro f/o, etc? yeah, a scrappy group of wades…how hard could that be ? plus, low pressure for kolby numnuts and his merry band of the blind..
LMFAOOOOOOOOO
Great pointon wasting a timeout on that dumb challenge
Sexton looks like an inefficient game
2nd half was awful shot-wise
Wade been solid tonight.
double double, good to see him rebound again
Seems like a very efficient line
oh no Thomas gotta find a way to challenge that shot.
Wad3!!! Poor D on McConnel
WADE THREEE!!!!!!!!! NEED A STOP!!!!!
why the hell did Kabengele only get 15 minutes JB?????????????
Missed most of the game, Okoro played well eh???
Okoro, Brodric Thomas Kabengele Wade Sexton in the first half
nice pass Thomas
but we need 3s
oh man gotten so used to Okoro finishing those around the basket
Can’t finish legs too tired
yup, unfortunately so
Sexton just got owned on defense surprise surprise
Ugh two missed open 3s in a row
damn they were good looks
STRONG DEFENSE OKORO!
WADE FOR THREEEEEEEEEE CLUTCH SHOT!
Sexton shooting the Cavs out of the game the 2nd half.
WHAT??? they call that a foul??????
Way to sell the call ICE!!!
Ice Trey! Ice slam!
WHAT A PASS SEXTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OKORO WITH THE CLUTCH THREE!!!!!!!!!
Dotson around the world. Fun game.
DOT FOR THREE!!!!!!!!
Sexton gonna shoot us out of the game LMFAOOO
We’re all agree Dotson isn’t back next year, right?
? IDK they might find better, but not sure they actually will.
I did this on purpose for the reverse jinx.
would be interested to see some of the alternatives — looks like he’s on contract for $2 million but unclear (to me at least) if Cavs can or would cut him loose over the offseason
OKORO FOR THREE!!!!!!!! HUGE BUCKET!
nice take Dot, need his offense to begin the fourth
“Eight available players and Anderson Varejao”
LMFAOOOOO freudian slip
ALLEN HUSTLE!
Cavs are in it!!!!! Cavs need to find a way to run a screen game with their bigs so that they force Sabonis to defend the pick and roll… Indy keeps switching it because the Cavs are going way too slow.
Pump and jump, Justin! Pump and jump!
Jesus, this Pacers team is garbage. No one played d on that martin 3.
They’re pretty bad…
Okoro had Kabengele wide open, just didn’t see him.
WADE STEAL@!!!!!!! MARTIN FOR THREE!
