NBA 2018 Playoffs Thread

Hood, Nance and Clarkson really showing their limitations and inexperience. Hill...meh. So much for that great trade.

Doesn't help that Love is a no show and defense still stinks.

[Donoghus]

Pacers really grinding and playing much more aggressive than CLE. 

I expect the Cavs to continue to chip away but it'll be tough to come all the way back from the hole they dug themselves.

geez, 3:37 left in the third period and lebron is the ONLY cav in double figures. .... good!

Well, now that I'm watching, I assume that the Pacers will find a way to lose . Sigh.

Pacers need to calm down and get a good shot.

Looks like Oladipo has been great, thus far, but you can't miss four free throws, let alone eight as a team, already, and expect to win on the road, especially in Cleveland.

Either way, we're about to find out as to whether or not he can be a closer in the postseason. Lance will be there, I'm sure, and has a long history of being a big game player, but this is a first for Victor, and Myles Turner needs to show something, here, as well, after being a complete no-show against the Cavs last year.

Either way, this feels all too similar to game 3 from last season, imo, so I'm sure that Lebron will win, unfortunately. Sigh.

Cavs D really looking like they flipped that "switch" for the playoffs

defense wasn't that bad, it was thwir offense that was terrible

They showed Cav’s coach and he looked like a deer surrounded by a thousand hunters. Jeff Green is laying a big goose so far and is doing his best impression of the invisible man.

That's the Jeff Green I remember!

Such talent but lack of killer instinct. We all remember that player!

And down go the Lebrons in game 1!!

Cavs down by 17 with less than 2 min left

Oladipo was big time! Makes me think how bad that Magic organization truly is.

That’s trying to put lipstick on a pig, huh? They sucked on both ends of the floor in the first half. Especially inept on the offensive end but it was pretty pitiful. At least they showed some life in that 3rd quarter but they dug themselves too much of a hole.

George Hill, Rodney Hood, Larry Nance, and Jordan Clarkson all with poor showings today. That Cavs team has a huge lack of talent. The East is wide, wide open right now.
