Round 1 Game 2 | Cavs vs Pacers | April 18, 2018 | 6:00 EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
this is going 7 no doubt...outside of LBJ we are getting nothing
 
Shaq was an inside only guy, who couldn't shoot free throws. Love can easily shoot 3 pointers while also grabbing 3 or 4 rebs a quarter.

If love was a good number 2 option he should be able to put up 18 or more points a game while grabbing 10 or more boards a game during these playoffs.. but he’s just not consistent and I hate to say it but he’s soft.. it’s the truth.. I don’t like seeing him get pushed out of the way by smaller guys and getting hurt so easily.. but it happens.
 
Reporters are so fucking dumb.

“LeBron, what does this mean for game 3 with the Pacers winning game one and the Cavs winning game 2?”

“Uhh, it means we are going to game 3 tied 1-1”

Rofl it wasn't the 20 points Shaq had a problem reaching, brother. It was the 15 rebounds.

You still can't actually name a 2nd option player who has done this in the playoffs. There isn't one. I don't even have to look to know.

Like, the only guy that you could maybe argue is MOses Malone, if you wanna call Dr. J the 1st option. You know, 1st ballot HOFer, league MVP Moses Malone.
 
I do expect 20-12 from Love every game. Why? Because we no longer have Kyrie and he has now assumed the role of second option. If not we may need 40 point games from Bron more often, which I think is asking a lot.

You're not gonna get it. So stop expecting it. He's not a 2nd option player. It's like expecting Jeff Green to be a solid starter at the 4 in the playoffs. That's not who he is.

You guys are setting yourselves up for disappointment that Kevin Love isn't as good as you want him to be. He's a 3rd option.
 
I feel like I'm the only one who's not too worried. The supporting cast has struggled but we've seen this team look pretty elite when everything was clicking after the trade deadline.

Ever since LeBron came back to Cleveland the first round has served as almost a second training camp for us. We struggled against Indiana last year despite the sweep and then managed to beat Toronto and Boston without too much trouble.

It's definitely possible that this team never gets it together and then we lose once LeBron runs out of gas but it's also possible they find their rhythm and cruise to another finals appearance where anything can happen.

We have a lot of inconsistent players on this team but if Love gets it together we really only need 1 or 2 other guys to step up on any given night. We witnessed a great performance from LeBron tonight so I'm just going to enjoy our playoff run and hope we take another step forward in game 3.
 
Scored 15 points, so it's not like he was total garbage. Hit a huge 3 in the 4th while LeBron was resting. He didn't have a great game but it wasn't as awful as a lot of people are making it out to be.

Nah, he looked bad. He looked slow and clumsy. Got the ball in the post a few times, and looked like the Kardashian - took forever to gather, and went up weak.
 
Only chance to win at Indy is ti play Cedi and Zizic. Gotta show that wrinkle , would love tosee Zizic lay some smack down on their guards driving the lane without so much as a tap

Need to do SOMETHING about guarding Turner and keeping them from scoring in the paint.

Why not play the only 7-footer we have?
 
To be SPECIFIC...I am NOT telling people not to criticize Love's game.

Criticize his game all you want....

But and I quote, we got a post that LITERALLY said.

"Kevin Love is the biggest fucking pussy I have ever seen"

And also another 10-20 posts to that effect.

My post about LeBron during the regular season
"Wow, his defense and his effort is some of the worst I've ever seen"

My worst?

"Bron, fuck yourself for this effort/quitting on the team tonight".

My "complaining" posts from this thread

"LeBron, please score on the slower white guy they put on you without it being a contested jumpshot".


And again, one more time for everyone, Kevin Love jammed his thumb. Which anyone who's ever played ball knows hurts like a bitch, and we get
"Kevin Love is the biggest fucking pussy I have ever seen"


One more time..

"LeBron's fucking effort fucking sucks tonight, FUCK"

"Kevin Love is the biggest fucking pussy I have ever seen".

See the difference? EVERYONE?

I don't care if you're complaining about Love not playing well. By. All. Means.

But we literally had almost double digit posts to the effect of "Love is the biggest fucking pussy/bitch/weak human/loser/injury having asshole in the world" because he jammed his thumb.

So, naw, ya'll arent gonna get off that easy by trying to say I criticize LeBron....one last time

*Love accidentally jams thumb *

"Kevin Love is the biggest fucking pussy I have ever seen"-in some variation, x10.

When did the injury happen, exactly? I missed it. Sound was not on in the bar.
 
so is it acceptable to call out Nances absolutely horrible game? in 24 minutes he scored 2 points and it was on a designed play for him. he had the worst +/- on the team. missed his only 2 FTs and was an absolute sieve on defense.

dude needs to step it the fuck up

5 boards and a block.

But it IS like he landed on the planet Krypton.
 
I’m very interest to see how we perform in game 3. Gotta hope Love shows up, Indy will give us their best punch Friday.
