Nearly 100% positive I heard or read somewhere that the Cavs defense is actually ranked worse than ours is. Almost hard to believe.

If you just listened to Barkley, it's because they don't have great defensive players and don't respect the East. Yeah they don't respect the East but to say they don't have defensive players is not a valid excuse as to why their defense is so bad. A team can be good at defense without good defensive players. A lot of that comes down to effort. And they clearly don't put in much effort

LeBron is 11-0 in the first round including 6 sweeps. Pacers were doomed before this series even began...If LeBron was to finally lose in the first round, Chicago and Miami would've been the teams since they have an edge on the Cavs lately.

Does it baffle anyone else that Teague and Ellis would even get a sniff of guarding LeBron on defense? Let alone guarding him on defense?

 

Yeah I cracked up with Ellis was guarding him and Teague somehow managed to steal it.

I think one reason that the Cavs are just imposing their will offensively is because Thaddeus and Turner just decided not to play defense this series also.  They both have a combined 5 rebounds this game.

It's definitely why I'm not opposed to getting someone like Brook Lopez in FA. Need to go after Gordon Hayward as well

All you need is Love.

 

Fun fact: Kevin Love is the nephew of the legendary Mike Love of the Beach Boys. I often joke that without Love they suffer since with him they get "good vibrations" going on the Cavs.

 

lmao

It just comes down to the Cavs defense being less suckish than the Pacers

Funny how their defense suddenly looks better when they play us...

...we just don't have the perimeter shooters,..unless PG scores 40, (and CJ Miles gets 20) we cant match the Cavs

A lot of us have had similar upbringings to the Cavaliers we’ve featured in the “Growing Up … “ series over the years. But we’re willing to bet that none of us grew up with a father who played in the NBA and an uncle whose band sold 100 million records worldwide.

That’s not to say that Kevin Love – whose father, Stan, played for the Lakers, Bullets and Spurs and whose uncle, Mike, played guitar, sax and harmonica for the Beach Boys – got any breaks or took any shortcuts. As a youngster, he worked hard and honed his game. And by the time he hit high school, he was primed to become one of the greatest players in Oregon prep history.

I wouldn't blame PG if he does decide to leave or ask for a trade. This team is going nowhere fast. Especially with this coaching.

 

I was just speaking to someone about that the other day.  It really doesn't matter because he only has one year left on his contract after next then he can opt out.  So if the Pacers want to get something for him, they better do it next year.  I don't think he's going to stay unless he feels Bird and co can magically change the Pacers into NBA contenders.

    • The Colts were one of four teams given an A+ grade in the draft by PFF
    • Something else to lock away in the brain.   Ballard got 4 players, while trading down and still getting Mitchell.   2.46 - **traded for #52, #142, #155   **2.52 - $1,219,297 - Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas   **5.142 - $883,167 - Anthony Gould, WR, Oregon State    **5.155 - ****traded for #164, #201   ****5.164 - $869,254 - Jaylin Simpson, S, Auburn    ****6.201 -$838,489 - Micah Abraham, CB, Marshall      That trade down, then subsequent trade down again, allowed us to get who we were more than likely going to grab anyway(Mitchell). While also being able to throw 3 more darts, including a second WR, and 2 other guys that I think have a good chance of earning one of this last spots at CB, Safety.
    • Agree, I think Young has a pretty decent chance to stick.   We need multiple LBers that can cover. Hopefully Carlies and him both make the squad and help underneath and over the middle   Yeah he has a crazy build. FB would make some sense for him. Not sure if we will carry one of those or not?     I don't think Eric Johnson has a very good chance of keeping a roster spot.  To many guys there now.
    • Craig Young was an Ohio State recruit and transferred to Kansas  - both he and the new draftee Jaylon Carlies have a similar athletic profile with a 4.50ish 40, with 33 and 34 inch arms (respectfully) and both are 6'3" and 226ish......I think Craig Young has a chance as a back-up/teams guy if he shows out in camp. Stuard, McGrone and Olubi aren't exactly world beaters after all. Those measurements (BTW) are very much in the mold of the Okereke/Leonard/Speed size/length/speed ratios..........   Trent Pennix played RB/FB/TE at N.C. State - could we be incorporating an actual FB into the offense? He is only 6'1" and 234 pounds so very much NOT the mold of our typical tight ends?   Isaiah Coe did 34 bench reps and is a bit bigger...........if he proves stronger at the point of attack than Eric Johnson, he could earn a spot at the back end of the roster as well.   Outside of that I don't see anyone pushing for a roster spot.
    • Congrats to @Archer. This year was harsh for the contestants in the draft contest, but Archer's exact pick accompanied with him identifying him pre-draft as a potential LB conversion, is quite possibly the best call I've seen on this board on a prospect truly under the radar.    Truly well deserved win.    With that out of the way, I want to take a moment to thank @Dr. T for organizing and running one of the most fun activities on this board. I've been here for just the last 6-7 years, but this contest has turned into a highlight of the off-season for me. Hope everything is alright with our Dr. and he enjoys good retirement and I'm wishing good luck to @chad72. Big shoes to fill, no doubt he will continue the tradition in style.
