They should have recognized they weren't hitting earlier and started getting to the basket.

Yeah 8 for 34 from 3 (and 12 for 20 from the line).  Just one of them days.

Yeah, he's the only person in the league that does it. No one else. AT ALL.  

lol

I seem to have missed where someone said he was the only one. I thought since he was playing in the game for which this thread is named it seemed appropriate to mention.

calling it "patented" intimates that, no?

 

Dipo is winning Most Improved, he's a lock for an all-defense team, and he should make 2nd team All-NBA. Not a bad year.

Bron with 6 pts in the first 70 secs.   Dipo with 2 fouls and 2 TOs.

Hard to imagine a safer bet in all of these playoffs than Cleveland winning this game.

Let's see if LeBron gets more than 2 minutes of rest this half.

4 minutes, that's an eternity for the Cavs in the playoffs.

Now 3 fouls for Oladipo. I think you risk keeping him in.

Guess Nate disagrees with me.

Turner just pinned LeBron’s shit.

edit: or James just bricked a layup.

Cleveland fans are giving LeBron’s effort a standing ovation but they are tripping with no map if they think that LeBron is going to will them to anything this year. He’s going as hard as I’ve ever seen him play and yet the rest of his team is doing nothing. Nothing.

For the first time, I'm truly doubting that this team can make the Finals.

Come on Myles, you just got showed up by Korver on defense.

  • Author

That should do it. Very promising signs for the Pacers, though.

And then there's Marv Albert's hair. Looks like his wig was made from the Chucky doll

Not that Love has been especially great this series, but if he has to miss any time, any margin of error Cleveland had is completely gone.

Yea, she's going to regret doing that (or whomever told her to ask it).

Yeah, that was out of place. I kinda felt for Lebron having to answer that question

no shit. It was completely out of line to ask Lebron that just to get a reaction. What a terrible thing to do. Classless TNT.

Now they're doubling down on this by showing a replay of the LeBron interview. Absolutely shameless.

Yeah, that interview was uncomfortable as fuck. One of the benefits of being a nobody is you don't get shit like that sprung on you. Geez.

Forty-four minutes and a triple-double Sunday, 40 minutes and almost half the team's points and rebounds tonight ... how do his teammates not feel guilty?

I said back on Shaggy that I hoped that someone other than the Cavs would make the Finals--even if I didn't think it was likely--just for variety's sake.  Then, I thought about it and walked it back.  I wanted one more year of the best player on the planet taking on a superteam, with all that talent sharing the same court.  Now, I'm back to my original instinct.

We all know exactly how a Cleveland v. GS/Houston Finals will go: Kevin Love will have a couple of nice 18 and 10 games while being picked on defensively, the Cavs defense will largely by overwhelmed, and LeBron will be brilliant and unguardable...and it won't be enough.  Probably not even close to enough.  I couldn't possibly care less right now about seeing Jordan Clarkson and Rodney Hood in the NBA Finals.

Conversely, even if a different Eastern representative will almost certainly still lose, maybe we'd get to see a 40/20 game from Embiid or an out-of-nowhere 4th quarter from Fred Van Vleet.  Just something new would be fun.

Yeah, that prospect does nothing for me.

Simmons, Embiid doing their thing on both ends, Covington D'ing fools up, and Redick/Saric/McConnell/Belinelli/pick your favorite white guy shooting 3's sounds more much appealing to me today than LBJ, Love, and...Larry Nance maybe?

 

...I admittedly had difficulty talking myself into the Toronto alternative.

You think all of those things would happen with GS?

For a series? No. For a game or 2? Who knows, maybe? Which is more than I can say for any Cav not named LeBron.

Meh, I'd rather see 7 (or however many) games of Lebron

I think this year's Cavs would be extremely fortunate to make it 5. But, you're right, who knows with LeBron.

LeBron's back must be sore from all that carrying last evening.

Cleveland coming out in game 3 with intensity..... Refs too!  Hill just gave a forearm to Turner in the lane and they called it on Myles.  What?

Refs calling it pretty close in the first minute or so.
