I thought since he was playing in the game for which this thread is named it seemed appropriate to mention.

April 16, 20187 yr Remember that trade of Paul George for Oladipo and Sabonis, where the Pacers got fleeced? https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/columnists/gregg-doyel/2017/07/01/victor-oladipo-domantas-sabonis-all-indiana-got-paul-george/445305001/ Yeah, not so much. Victor is about to step up to the next level.
April 16, 20187 yr 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.

Victor is about to step up to the next level. When keeping it real goes wrong.
April 16, 20187 yr There were games at Indiana where Oladipo was amazing. I'm not really surprised at his development.
April 18, 20187 yr Oladipo with 2 fouls in the first minute, and Lebrons 3-3. Pacers want to hit that reset button
April 18, 20187 yr Hard to imagine a safer bet in all of these playoffs than Cleveland winning this game.

April 18, 20187 yr 8 minutes ago, Machinator said: Just turned on the game. Were the fouls on Oladipo legit? eh a 50/50 charge followed by a hand check. nothing I dont think anyone would argue in January...playoff basketball they are iffy
April 18, 20187 yr Author 6 minutes ago, Machinator said: 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.
April 18, 20187 yr Author Now 3 fouls for Oladipo. I think you risk keeping him in. Guess Nate disagrees with me. Edited April 18, 20187 yr by Machinator
April 19, 20187 yr Turner just pinned LeBron’s shit. edit: or James just bricked a layup. Edited April 19, 20187 yr by Goo Punch
April 19, 20187 yr 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.
April 19, 20187 yr And then there's Marv Albert's hair. Looks like his wig was made from the Chucky doll
April 19, 20187 yr Author 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.

April 19, 20187 yr 2 minutes ago, MNLonghornFUKM said: geez lady....really gotta ask the pop question? Yeah, that was out of place. I kinda felt for Lebron having to answer that question
April 19, 20187 yr 9 minutes ago, MNLonghornFUKM said: geez lady....really gotta ask the pop 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.
April 19, 20187 yr Author Now they're doubling down on this by showing a replay of the LeBron interview. Absolutely shameless.
April 19, 20187 yr 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. 3 hours ago, Goo Punch said: 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. 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?
April 19, 20187 yr 13 hours ago, Machinator said: For the first time, I'm truly doubting that this team can make the Finals. 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.

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?
April 19, 20187 yr 4 minutes ago, d2o said: 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.

April 19, 20187 yr I think this year's Cavs would be extremely fortunate to make it 5. But, you're right, who knows with LeBron.
April 20, 20187 yr 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.
