Cleveland's Achilles heel is the defensive play of their ball handlers and wings. Mitchell in particular is godawful. The Pacers are bigger and faster.

Indiana has a great chance to win this series.

I thought Haliburton was getting most of his joy attacking Jarrett Allen in that drop coverage rather than attacking CLE's small guards.

They weren't even small today with no Garland. Mitchell has good size for a PG. Ty Jerome has great size for a PG. Sam Merrill started at SG. A tad small but so is Nembhard. Then Strus who has average size for a SG.

Kerr will play Looney when Draymond rests but he won't play together. I would love to see them together against the Rockets twin big lineup.

GSW should have enough offense in Jimmy & Steph + either Podz, Hield or Moody to make that offensively challenged twin big of their own work okay.

Jimmy is a genius. Great composure and decision making on the offensive end of the floor. Defensive end too. Wonderful player.

It is surprising how effective Houston's zone defense has been against GSW. You don't expect a team with Steph Curry to struggle against a zone.

I guess they don't have many other high level shooters other than Steph. Just Hield. Sometimes Podz but he is inconsistent. Moody is good with low volume. Q Post their only big who can shoot. Jimmy not a big shooter. Nor Draymond.

Rockets are so poor offensively it is going to be really challenging to win a game 7, even at home.  GS?s zone has given them issues.  I definitely want them to win, it is just a major uphill battle?

The East may have a playoffs rematch next round...

New York vs Indiana
Boston vs Indiana

Stunning upset win at Cleveland. Indy is for reals

The whole Cleveland perimeter was getting gashed all game long. This isn't just a Jarett Allen problem. They are soft and slow out in space. The playoffs are exposing them.

Indiana's defenders are more athletic and more versatile. Mobley is a freak but he can only do so much.

 The fact that this thug continues to get away with it tells you all you need to know about the integrity of this league.
