Who would have guessed the Pelicans would be the only team to sweep in the 1st round?

Already looks like Lebron is going to have to go into vintage mode to win tonight

Doesn't look like CLE will get much consistent offense from another source.

He does not look very engaged so far...

It’s abundantly clear that Indiana can play not great and still win. In the past against LeBron that wasn’t the case for anyone.

Honestly, I think it's because he realizes he isn't going far with this team as constructed and so he's taking it all sort of nonchalantly. Might sound like a hot take but others have echoed the same thoughts in the media and talk shows.

Anyways, JR Smith has looked good so far though.

Anyone else getting the vibe that the Cavaliers don't enjoy playing with each other??

Even last year it looked like they did despite the reports of Kyrie being frustrated, but this year it doesn't look that way.

I think being James' teammate is exhausting. He seems like his is very high maintenance...seems like a guy that wants to be liked so badly that he rubs guys the wrong way

This team has zero chemistry

Yeah.

It's hilarious how after two games since the trades (@BOS, @OKC), people thought the Cavs were officially back and ready to contend with Golden State with their new young, athletic acquisitions. None of them have really made a grand impact so far in these playoffs.

Oh, and Tristan Thompson in 8 minutes has been out-rebounded by Oladipo and Bojan each  :laugh:

No matter what happens in this playoffs...the cavs are done. This roster is terrible. James can't win with these guys and hates Gilbert. Boston and Philly in the East going forward

I just hope Lebron doesn't go to Philly, or Kawhi. Unfortunately I predict Kawhi gets traded to PHI for something like Fultz, Saric, salary + Picks. Lebron probably stays put OR goes West (Lakers? Spurs? Rockets?).

Still say LBJ goes to the Lakers with PG or Leonard.
