We knew he wouldn't start over Myles Turner. But where he has really helped is giving Myles tips on how to play the game. This has been said during on court interviews. And that's just awesome

I know but it just feels like some believe he could have went elsewhere in the league and started. Small ball has taken over. He would have been on the bench anywhere he went like Zach Randolph is.

 

But I agree he is a valuable part to this team. And with the way Lavoy and Seraphin are looking defensively right now, he can just continue being that designated post beast.

I have class for next two hours so I'm going to miss the second half. Love the effort and energy the Pacers are bringing so far.

[oldunclemark]

wish we could have gotten Korver

[2006Coltsbestever]

I thought the Warriors lived and died by the 3, that is all Cavs do is shoot 3's.

I think Kevin Seraphin should play more. I like him better than LaVoy Allen

I'd liked him better before the last few games. Now I'm not so sure.

[oldunclemark]

Teague vs. Kyrie Irving is a battle

I hope I'm wrong but I think LaVoy will fall back to earth here soon. He's just not that good

[oldunclemark]

CJ Miles has made every shot so far

[RockThatBlue]

get em pacers

He's such a good shooter. Isn't it so convenient that LeBron always gets what he wants?

[oldunclemark]

Here comes LBJ for the final 3 minutes with Paul G. sitting

[2006Coltsbestever]

Turner baby! Pacers by 11.

[oldunclemark]

wow... traveling on LeBron!!!??!!

[Luck is Good]

Myles Turner rocks

[RockThatBlue]

CJ Miles just can't miss.

[2006Coltsbestever]

CJ is on fire for 3! Pacers back up 11

[RockThatBlue]

We put up 63 on the best team in the east in the first half. Gotta keep it up, don't pull an Atlanta now

[Luck is Good]

That was not a goaltend. LeBron gets every freakin call. And he thinks he's poorly officiated. I hate that guy

[oldunclemark]

Cavs closed the gap with PG out.....63-57 at the half.....playoff caliber

[Bluefire4]

Bad ending right there with the questionable call and the missed layup by Teague. Just need to keep fighting in the second half.

[2006Coltsbestever]

McCray hitting 3's, they always have some no name dude bailing LeBron out. Silly. Pacers up 6 at Half. That Goaltending call on Turner was complete nonsense, he made LeBron eat his shot.

It has been since the beginning of time. They've had so many disappointments in NBA, NFL and MLB

That might be the new saying, pulling an Atlanta . Any team that blows a 28-3 in a SB are complete chokers! A team really has to play pretty stupid to pull off what Atlanta did.

A Conference Champion doing that is just ridiculous. I figured Andrew could do it against Alex Smith but that was the WildCard Game and the Chiefs always choke.

There are just certain franchises that always choke. I picked against Atlanta all postseason because I thought that Atlanta choke would happen. It took a while but it did indeed happen

[RockThatBlue]

CJ still cant miss

[RockThatBlue]

Kyrie is getting hot

Kyrie is really good. He won that Championship for them

[2006Coltsbestever]

Down to 2. 72-70, have to weather the storm.

[RockThatBlue]

Pacers lead is gone

[oldunclemark]

Kyrie's running wild out there......were down 3

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cavs lead 74-72, horrible start to the 3rd.

All goes back to that stupid goaltend for LeBron

[2006Coltsbestever]

This is where Paul George needs to step up and make a statement.

[Luck is Good]

They've scored 18 points in three and a half minutes

[oldunclemark]

78-74....we can turn this around.....might want to get Miles a shot...he still hasnt missed

[RockThatBlue]

Dangit Pacers, I just told you to not pull an Atlanta. Did they not read my post at halftime??
