Cavs didn't have Love or Kyrie though. Both were injured. They also didn't have Korver who is flat out deadly from 3. Cavs are a better team now compared to 2015.

And as we saw the other night, Kyrie and Love aren't near as valuable as LeBron. Stating the obvious there. LeBron couldn't beat the Warriors by himself. Doesn't matter how great he is

[2006Coltsbestever]

I will actually be happy for David West if the Warriors do win it all. If anyone deserves a Ring it's him. He was a Great player here, we could just never get by LeBron.

I think they will win it all. I think it'll be Cavs vs Warriors again. The Cavs, while still good obviously, are not as good as last year. Especially defensively. I don't see them being able to stop them, especially with Durant added.

[RockThatBlue]

Is it true the Pacers have never been swept in a 7 game series?

I agree. I am glad the Warriors rested Durant last night and it didn't hurt them, they are now up 3-0. The Cavs still scare me because they have that guy named LeBron who is a Top 10 player of all-time and the best player today. I never count him out. I don't see the Warriors losing 2 years in a row to the same team though with HCA. That would be a real shocker.

I think it is, I cant recall the Pacers ever being swept in the Reggie days.

Turner needs to give PG some help today. He needs to have a 20+ point game.

Yeah I would love to see the Pacers extend the series but I doubt it happens. Last game was deflating like Tom's Footballs

I believe it is

Agreed.  His shot seems to have left him.

Tristan Thompson isn't really following him away from the basket.

 

Cavs seem to start most games getting the ball inside to Kevin Love.

Maybe we should do that with Myles....just to see if he's having a good shooting day

[Indyfan4life]

It's crazy to think we could easily be up 3-0 right now.

 

If we lose, I think PG is gone.

I think PG is gone this summer. I think the Pacers trade him. You can't lose him for nothing in return

we need 20 from him in every playoff game

 

we have no identity otherwise, besides whatever PG does

 

cant defend and dont have enough fire power to keep up with the good teams

we defend as well as the Cavs do...we just have to make shots, like you say

Myles isnt really being guarded

[Luck is Good]

Pacers need a new coach too. If Bird really wanted a fresh start, then he should've gotten a coach not associated with the Vogel Era

[oldunclemark]

Serafin immediately backs Thompson down and gets the ball on the rim.

Myles, for some reason, cant do that

Cant change coaches again....Larry isn't going to do that

He absolutely could. If he trades PG, then there will be a new coach

[shakedownstreet]

Go Cavs! Just end it already!!

[oldunclemark]

 

   Cavs run a second defender at PG every time....

.....we need shooters..might be time to try Aaron Brooks

But he wont./...

I dont see Larry firing McMillan.

cant fire the coach every year......just not something Bird would do

[oldunclemark]

Lance can get any shot he wants...he just cant make 'em

Somebody's got to work on his shot in the off-season......he's still got potential he hasn't come close to

[Luck is Good]

I do like Glenn Robinson III. Has definitely improved his game

[oldunclemark]

we have to get to the basket, they don't.....not  good start 35-29 Cavs

[Luck is Good]

It's just too easy for the Cavs. They can get anything they want

[oldunclemark]

When they play Frye at center..our center has to follow him to the 3-line and cant protect the rim.

much easier for LBJ

[Indyfan4life]

When all else fails, complain every time you DON'T get fouled. Eventually they'll call a foul for looking at someone.

[oldunclemark]

Lance can get any shot he wants from the 3-line...they dont think he'll make enough of them

[oldunclemark]

Good lord...How old is Deron Williams?  

[oldunclemark]

Pacers are the 'Designated Survivor'

[Colts_Fan12]

PG will be gone after that last game and getting swept will not help just go full rebuild and start with Myles Turner and build around him 

[oldunclemark]

Getting a little rough out there

Whether we win or lose today shouldnt have anything to do with the future

..and I don't know if we can 'build around Myles Turner'

we're not getting the offensive foul call today are we?

Yeah cause I'm sure he wants to finish his career on a team headed  no where you ever ready what you type Mark? 

[Colts_Fan12]

Honestly I'm over the Larry Bird era 

[oldunclemark]

Paul took a knee in a sensitive area

I think that today's game wont have anything to do with changes we make this summer, do you?

It should we should trade him before he leaves us high and dry I'm a pavers fan way before I'm a PG fan but I honestly don't blame Paul if he wants to leave not one bit 

[oldunclemark]

down 58-52 at the half..and not looking good
