 Poor Indiana Pacers fans I feel for you. Way too many loose ball fouls called on Indiana specifically Turner fouling out when he was just starting to get some rythm. easy to tell this game was being reffed two ways Cleveland needed to fully tackle a player to get called and the Pacers get called on everything. Ratings would be much better with Cavs. 

4 point game 1 minute left cheering for Indiana but c’mon…

Sabonis isn’t the brightest crayon in the box; his IQ is extremely low coming from an NBA pedigree. Every chance he has to score from underneath the basket, he looks to kick it out which happened at least three times when it mattered the most to get the easy bucket.

You clearly know nothing about the Pacers. Sabonis is one of the smartest players out there, kind of happens when your dad is an All-time great. 

Al Jefferson stated along with Kevin Love that he is the smartest young player he has ever played with and he would know a thing or two given the way he plays the game as well as how long he has been around.

 Oh please, refs were bad on both sides.. You mad cause you know this thrash Cavs team will still be able to pull it out against the Raps bruh

 Oladipo attacks repeatedly and doesn’t go to the line. Stephenson looks at LeBron and he flops and gets the ft’s and the ball back. Indiana should’ve still won this series, but it was CLEARLY one-sided officiating.

Can refs use mind control to give LBJ the power of efficiency?? That’s a cool trick to help him shoot 16 of 25. 

He was just too good, 45, 9, 7 and a 4 steals in only 25 shots.

 I was waiting for this thread….. so annoying! 

Here’s some ground breaking news for you Canada:

– stars (not just lebron) regularly get the 50/50 calls

– home sides (not just the cavs) regularly get the 50/50 calls

It’s not cheating it’s life!

 That time of year, the Lebron haters are out and about

[ThenilonatorParticipant]

 And I agree that sabonis gave up some easy opportunities to defer to team mates when in reality he was one of their most effective all series. He’s 21 though, he will be fine 

[LazarusMunozParticipant]

 Slightly off topic but…

Oladipo is an incredible basketball player!

 Go back and watch games we know the NBA fixed for the Lakers back in 2002.   You will se what a real fixed game looks like.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Same old same old bull sh*t. The Pacers just have to be better though. LeBron was phenomenal, but I feel the Pacers gave this series away.

I love this Pacers core though. Oladipo is a legit superstar/franchise player in my opinion. The dude literally is the Black Panther lol. The Pacers need Turner to develop into an All-Star.

 

[halfdecayedParticipant]

 I thought the Pacers were the better team honestly.. Playing with Westbrook for a year did wonders for Oladipo, it made him a very aggresive player with a non stop motor. He might have became stupid if he stayed 1 more year with Westbrook so you guys did really well with that trade. Kid looks like a stud, and Sabonis was really solid, just not aggresive enough.. He was abusing the Cavs in the post when he attacked.

I don’t usually like to blame refs for a loss, but the free throw differential was ridiculous. 
Cavs Free Throws: 40     Pacers Free Throws: 24

Mad respect for LeBron with that monster game though. 

 

[kobyzParticipant]

it’s a psychological barrier of eliminate a LeBron team, every east team will face it…

[Willfb3Participant]

Come playoff time LeBron’s team will get every call, every single year. Ratings are better when the King is playing and the NBA makes more money. This is exactly what happened in those series with PG13, Lance, and Hibbert a couple years back when LeBron was on the Heat. Really bothers me, but nothing is going to change.
