Round 1 Game 3 | Cavs @ Pacers | April 20, 2018 | 7:00 EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Y’all need to realize this is CHESS not checkers


Just because something kills us 2 times down the court doesn’t Mean we make a change to it immediately. Now if a play works all half then of course you change
 
Lol! That’s literally the best defense the team has played all year. The pace has been really slow all series, almost back to the grind it out levels of the 2015 grind squad. If the game continues at the same pace and Indy winds up scoring 80-85, the Cavs will probably have a top 3 defense in the playoffs.

In before one of those 42 point quarters.
The cavs have to play defense to have a chance this year and they actually are doing it. Who the fuck would have thought
 
I have zero confidence this defense will last. Nate will adjust at half time and lue won’t have an answer. Luckily we have Lebron.
 
We shit on Ty Lye a lot, and deservedly so.

But the defensive scheme and having a semblence of a system or plays on offense is impressive.
To me it seems that the only difference is ppl are playing individual defense harder and that the man farthest away from the ball is actually staying engaged
 
We ran this exact same defense against Indiana, Toronto, and Boston last year against PG, Derozan, and IT. It's great against the East.

The problem is it doesn't work against GSW.
 
Why don’t guys choose numbers like 77? I would

Perk is enjoying the suit that LeBron bought him on the bench. Not in uniform for this game.
I’m not sure he has been so far this playoff has he? He wasn’t last game either.
 
Always been his thing, he's allergic to bunnies.

But if he's hitting 3's and face up touches in the mid range, then taking the good with the bad is a sure thing.

Just wish he didn't have what it looks like alligator arms when it comes to contesting shots down low.

He literally has alligator arms though.
 
"Fucked by the refs" is a hard sell when the Cavs
have 13 FTs to Indy's 4, and fouls are 11-10 Indy.

That's boxscore fouls. Indiana has also gotten away with a ton of calls. They're playing way more aggressive physically so being up only one in fouls is definitely us getting fucked over.
 
I am telling you the Cavs need to test, but hide, the defensive and offensive strategy for the finals....

There's no way we can run this defense against GS, and probably not Houston either.

Let’s see if he can remember what he stumbled into in the 1st half for the 2nd and beyond.
