Thanks bro I had my old account but for some reason facebook login does not work so had to make new account. 

 

Boston is hard to beat but sixers is much better team overall 

True cfc.........but Milwaukee is better than Boston, too and they're about to go home

[oldunclemark]

Game 7:  Boston 112, Milwaukee 96

Celtics were very impressive at home..won all 4 home games

 

..and the Top-3 seeds in the east all won their opening round series.....

Warriors blew out the Pelicans. They don't even need Steph for that series. Regarding the C's, I figured as much. I had them winning in 7.

[Luck is Good]

The big day. Game 7. Hope the Pacers can win. I don’t see it though. Prove me wrong guys!

I had us winning in 7 before the series started but I still don't trust the NBA or the REFS if the game is close at the end. Depending on how the game goes I will try not to use that as an excuse if we lose but if there are obvious bad calls or bad non-calls then I will definitely talk about it. We can make history today and give LeBron his first ever 1st Round loss in his career.

The key to the W will be Oladipo, no doubt.

Pacers are the better team. There’s no doubt about that. But the Cavs have LeBron. And that’s the difference

I agree, LeBron makes it even + they have HCA which may bite us.

He just needs to play Good, nothing special. Cant go 2-15 for example. If we get 20 efficient Points out of him and we don't turn the ball over as a team, we can win. They have no answer for Turner or Sabonis either, haven't all series. I would feed both early and often. IMO a huge part to whoever wins will come down to who makes their 3's. They live and die by the 3. Hopefully Korver and JR both are off.

We are not going to get many calls and LeBron is that's the reality. How we react to that will go a long way in deciding the game. We have to keep playing and not get caught up in what we can't control. If we take care of the ball, REBOUND, and MAKE our free throws we should win the game. We are the better team. We don't need a hero we just need our guys to play like they have all season. If Vic has it going again look out. I think Bogey has a solid game. I feel good about the game.

NOLA has to play GSW differently.

They tried to run with them and now they know they wont be able to do that. Delusions of grandeur, maybe.

 

Take it into a half court game and make them defend in small space...

Now, with Steph back, it will be tougher,,,..but slow the game down..or get swept

I smell sweep. Pelicans may be able to get 1 in NO, not sure though?

[2006Coltsbestever]

FWIW, Tim Legler picked us to win Game 7 today. Most haven't.

If the game was in Indy, many would...   A lot of things have to go right for the Cavs today.

..They have to slow the game down....this is almost a back-to-back...

.....I keep saying this but the faster the game is the better we'll do

 

 

[oldunclemark]

   and we have to go against George Hill if he plays...make him defend....and challenge him physically if he plays the point...same with Kevin Love

......We are 100% healthy.....and they are not

Yeah we need to run them off the floor from the beginning. Run run run. Use our youth.

Exactly. We have to control the tempo of the game. LBJ is going to get his (the refs will see to that) 

If we run the rest of the Cavs they cant keep up with our tempo.

Open shots off of the break.  Kick it out to Bogie on the left top or left corner.  He needs to get to the foul line too or get a lay up to get him going. Same with Vic.

 

Those here who know me also know I like that punch him when he's down and keep him down philosophy....this is game 7.  we have plenty of fouls to give even if we have to bring big Al and Leaf.  I want a 1980's Game!!  

 

Who's with me.  Go Pacers.  You guys are the better TEAM!!!!!  Bmc

And same with Lebron.  Bogie set the tone for Game 6 with a take down.  Same mentality today!  I am ready to turn on pregame.

[oldunclemark]

.....and so.....it has come down to this.....One game to move on is all we can ask..

we're going to be headline sports news nationwide or an afterthought....

 

..I still think this is the matchup we wanted

[MTC]

Win or lose, I just hope they compete.

Winner take all right here!

[oldunclemark]

 I hear the symphony orchestra playing the 'Avengers' main theme...

[2006Coltsbestever]

We need to get off to a great start like in Game 1. If we fall behind here it my cost us. We are great at coming back but in a Game 7 not sure we could?

[2006Coltsbestever]

0-5 from 3, not sure why we are shooting 3's? We aren't going inside at all. Down 9-2.

[Colts_Fan12]

Drive to the damn basket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chrisaaron1023]

Why do the Cavs keep playing with Tristan's heart?! The man is an offensive board machine

[2006Coltsbestever]

Weak call! Cry baby got his call. Tech  That is ridiculous.

[DraftMaster]

Well Bron Bron getting all the calls so far. NBA 26, Pacers 16.

[Colts_Fan12]

Yeah the nba dont favor the Cavs right??

[strt182]

 they about to * lance off

[2006Coltsbestever]

Yeah this doesn't look good. It is still early but down 11 on the road in Game 7 isn't good. If we lose I am not even going to let it bother me. LeBron fans can brag all they want but how can a LeBron fan actually brag when 99% of them said Cavs in 4 or 5. Nobody is beating Golden St anyway or Houston if Houston somehow beats Golden St so it's all a moot point anyway in the long run.

[Colts_Fan12]

If we lose this series it will not be our fault it will 1000000% be the league's fault these are some of the most embarrassing calls I've ever seen if I was this bad at my job I would be fired 

[2006Coltsbestever]

It's been a great season regardless, we took the NBA's King 7 games and won 48 games when we weren't supposed to do nothing in reality. I am not impressed by the Cavs at all, we have outplayed them in this series and the series was lost in Game 5 when we got cheated.

[Myles]

Pacers will have to start shooting lights out to combat the Cavs and the refs.    Doesn't look good.  

[Chrisaaron1023]

So LeBron isn't going to miss today

Game 5 was a suck job!

[strt182]

well with all the publicity about james leaving ect. you have to know they are not going to let the cavs lose this series to the " little guys" 

 

[DraftMaster]

So tackling by the Cavs isn't a foul???

[Luck is Good]

Pacers might be toast. Victor needs to play almost every minute from here on out
