Eastern Conference Semifinals Live Thread: Game 1, Pacers @ Cavs
2025-05-04Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome Central Division rival Indiana Pacers to the banks of the Cuyahoga River for what is the most underrated playoff series of the Conference Semifinal round. Both of these teams are young, exciting, and have had a lot of recent success but looking to take the next step of becoming an actual championship contender. Some have casted this series as “Pacers vs. better version of the Pacers” in the sense of both teams being driven by their prolific offenses, and struggle against physical defending teams. Which team can junk up the game with physical defense and win ugly? It’ll probably be the team that takes the series.
Tip off is scheduled for 6:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live nationally on the TNT family of networks, Go Cavs!
Celtics were up 20 in the third quarter, making tonight their largest blown lead in the playoffs since 1997. You hate to see it.
Mikal Bridges!!! 53 of 55 minutes played. Go Knicks. Say it loud, say it proud
Or 51 of 53.
That steal at the end was incredible. He didn’t look at the inbound pass, just watched his man.
