Are all the people on Twitter saying the refs robbed Indiana just trolls or what?

Crazy week of sports ahead: CBJ tomorrow, Cavs Wednesday,Draft Thursday, and Cubs come to Cleveland Tuesday.

Lot of great stuff this week in Cleveland; but I couldn't care less about the Cubs coming to town.

I hate them as much as anyone but they beat us when it counted and we'll never meet them in a WS again.

I understand guys hate Lance trust me I get it. But the guy gives 200% every damn night for that team. Can get to the paint at ease and has a semi 3/midrange game. And he’s gonna give you all out defense every night. Yea he’s a damn knucklehead but the guy isn’t dirty. He just likes pissing off players and fans. And he’s very very good at it.

Love is not, and should never be, a center.

OK, and while putting a 5 next to him may help on defense, I just don't see it helping on offense, which is a big problem right now. He is being guarded by a 4 --Thad Young-- and he is being stoned on post-ups and flat out dominated by him on both ends.

 

[Rick Astley]

Pacers fans are bitching that Lance taking Green down WWE style was called a foul.

Well did they follow it up how weak and soft the league is today and players from 80's and 90's would still play with double amputation?

 

[UDcleveland]

As much as I hate Stephenson and he’s completely off his rocker, he had a legitimate jump ball there.

He definitely went all WWF afterward, and I thought the proper call was a tech on Stevenson followed by a jump ball...but I wouldn’t have been surprised if they just said the takedown was a result of him keeping his hands on the ball.

Happy with the result though. Can we fire Tyronn Lue now and make an emergency call to David Blatt?

 

[Midwestcav]

I am really hope this team grows and comes together through fire and trial. It seems the media and refs are against us, that LBJ can hardly buy a call lately. They certainly aren't protecting him like they do other stars.

A whole lot of people hate LeBron and to a lesser degree Cleveland...

Perfectly correct rage. Lance has every right to expect 2 points to be awarded for that textbook judo throw.

 

[Jscc]

do you think this is a one-round matchup problem, or is it going to be a struggle all through the playoffs?

Indiana is a terrible matchup for us, I expect the second round to be easier. But our coaching disadvantage after that round is going to make this series look like child's play imo.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

I think if we get past the Pacers that other teams are going to adapt the Pacers style against the Cavs. Play a physical game and try and run them off the court. It was hard to watch the Cavs continue to get beat on the fast break and the other team taking it to the hole. No inside D until the last few minutes.

Wait - that word you used there. It starts with A and rhymes with “ma crapped”. I don’t think I know what that word means, because I’ve never seen one of our coaches do the things you described. Are you sure that’s a word?

We beat ourselves. And we were injured. And god beat us, when he made it rain.

Yo who is the reporter in the post-games interviews that sounds like Avery Johnson??

It sounded to me like Chris Broussard.

My Twitter feed was 70/30 Lance fouled, with multiple NBA Twitter follows pointing out that it's a shame Stephenson gets pumped up like this given he's a terrible person.

And I mean legitimately terrible, for those unsure of what I'm talking about. Dude pushed his pregnant girlfriend down the stairs.
