While I tip my hat for making it happen, it shouldnt have...the league has already admitted the errors on lane violations at the end. For some reason, officiating is horrendous in all sports. and the Cavs and their coach choked bigtime!

TH. Yet another "3 star."

Maybe someone here, can point out our 4* successes. Gotta chuckle, mostly.
Whatever, our 3* types, have made our bb and fb programs pretty successful.
The list of our 4* bombs?
Endless.
Milan
Tamin I think was a 4/5 star before an injury in high school
Tyrese Hunter
THT
Wigginton
Donovon Jackson (Juco)
Matt Thomas
Niang

That goes back to the start of the Hoiberg era. Tons of 3 star "bombs" too.

Haliburton should have been 5 star and #1 player in his class.

GS has 19 points with 6 min left in the 2nd quarter. I think this Steph guy might be valuable

Let’s see. We can watch Naz Reid hit shots, handle the ball, dive for lose balls.

Or we can watch Gobert brick 2’ shots, commit dumb fouls and get the bill ripped out of his hands by guards.

Man, crazy how good NBA players are. Guys like Jackson-Davis and Kuminga are guys that fell out of the rotation on a 7 seed. And you see the plays those guys can make.

As long as Gobert is on the court, he can’t start a global pandemic by touching all the microphones. So I’d go for keeping Gobert in the game.

I could never do on a 7 foot rim what Jackson-Davis did on that lob.

I don't watch much NBA but it's easy to see just how elite the athleticism is.

Horrific coaching by Cavs "coach of the year" to not use a timeout as Pacers erased a 15 point deficit in first and the place got absolutely rocking. Complete momentum switch when Cavs came out swinging.

Who cares if it's 1Q, you have to protect a lead like that in a basically must win game.

its danger time for the cavs. pacers really have a chance to crush their spirit in this coming quarter.

There were 2 or 3 points there when the pace (pun intended) got crazy that I definitely would have taken a timeout. With Tyrese and McConnell you do not want to track meet with this team, I don't care how much the Cavs score or how well they shoot, Indy runs better than anybody.

They better keep pushing pace. They aren’t getting looks in the half court right now.

Mathurin has 71 points off the bench for Indy this post season through 5.5 games (he missed a game) and absolutely nobody mentioned last year that he missed the entire post season. Everybody freaks out when Pacer opponents are missing anybody. He was a starter most of last season before he went out.
