Yikes Indy with a convincing Game 1 win, on the road no less.

Series still early but this could be a blow to CLE's chances.

Lance has got to be loving this!

Down goes home court advantage.

Looks like it wont be a Cavs sweep anymore

LeBron has clearly started to decline. I'm not saying he's a bad player or not great. He's just no longer unstoppable. I think in 2 years he's a good 2nd or 3rd piece on a title team.

I think the awful supporting cast has a lot to do with it too. He's putting up better stats because he has to do a lot more, but he lost a step and plays no defense anymore.

CLE winning game 3 in Indiana feels like a mortal lock.

CLE blowing IND out in Game 2 seems very likely as well.

And yet, it wouldn't surprise me if the Cavs go on to win four straight and then dominate Toronto in Round 2.

Pun intended? TP either way, haha. I love Stephenson. Mind you, certainly not as a person, but definitely as a player, and Lance vs Lebron in the playoffs, well, for me at least =

After watching the incredible athletic quickness of Greek Freak, Lebron looked so slow and lumbering. Really showed his age today.

He’s not finished, and had a great season, but athletically is on the back nine of his career.

[BringToughnessBack]

He played a ton of minutes this year for a 33 year old superstar. 37 per and all 82 games. That is not smart coaching. His supporting cast is made up of many who have never been to war and won. Lebron will need to be super human again to get to finals.

LeBron played 44 minutes in a game that was never really close. Hill, Hood, Nance and Clarkson were so so role players. Thompson is not ever going to earn that contract. Jeff Green was Jeff Green...

Jazz looking good early at OKC...

I really don't see that happening. This is a poor knockoff of the past Cavs teams that people remember.

I wouldn't put money on either of those predictions.
