He's not gonna shut up about NeSmith even if the Cavs sweep the Pacers isn't he?

One thing I regret about my time in Houston is not watching an NBA game at the Toyota Center (or even NFL game at Reliant Stadium, lived blocks away from there).

Have fun! Go Dubs!

I am with you. I had Denver in 6. Denver, too me, has the better roster even though their bench is light. For the clippers. Kawhi is obviously great and can carry a team in stretches. Harden will give you a great game every now and then in the playoffs. One thing you can count on is Harden shrinking in the playoffs and disappearing in close outs games. Powell, Zubac, and Bogan are just role players. Gordon, Braun, and MP3 are better than those three.

Kawhi isn't as elite on-ball as he used to be. In the past, he could have won the series by choking off Murray from the offense or handling Jokic in stretches. Just not as possible for him anymore.

Nomad · 05-04-2025, 05:16 PM

Honestly, both Kawhi and Harden played with more endurance than I expected. It just wasn't enough.

blackvodka · 05-04-2025, 05:32 PM

Strong finish to the quarter from the Pacers.

He has a surprisingly deep well of Nesmisms to pull from. If he hasn't run out in 7k posts he ain't ever gonna lmao.

blackvodka · 05-04-2025, 05:47 PM

Nice three by Nesmith.

Man, the Pacers stopped passing. It'll be alright.

Like to see Mathurin hitting his shots at least.

Wow... Cleveland bias is real. If I knew the odds were like that I would have bet the house.

Live odds to win

IND: 45.2% CLE: 54.8%

Going into the game the Pacers were +9.5, now they are +2

blackvodka · 05-04-2025, 06:08 PM

For the most part it's been a good first half. The second half should be intense.

Enjoy the experience! Nothing quite like a Game 7 atmosphere.

Nomad · 05-04-2025, 06:32 PM

3smith got them bench skippin'

blackvodka · 05-04-2025, 06:32 PM

Nesmith again. He's in the zone.

To be fair, he's getting open shots. That block was nice though.

Good team effort.

oldgoldy97 · 05-04-2025, 06:37 PM

It’s happening!

SK40 · 05-04-2025, 06:46 PM

How quickly that turned.

blackvodka · 05-04-2025, 06:53 PM

Turner with the three to end the quarter.

What a great game so far. Pacers started off strong, the Cavs fought back and the Pacers ended strong. Can't wait for the 4th quarter

Nesmith will foul out with five minutes left, my prediction (never mind, he'll come back at 5:00).

Other than that, who knows. Depends on Sheppard.

Pretty clean game until Math started hacking.

Nembhard!

Scottish Punk · 05-04-2025, 07:18 PM

Terrible shot selection for the Cavs.

Nomad · 05-04-2025, 07:23 PM

If the Pacers lose this it will outdo G5 against Bucks.

slowly unclenching now...

one down.

Scottish Punk · 05-04-2025, 07:29 PM

MIitchell is 1-11 for 3. I don't think the Cavs are going to win if Ty Jerome is putting up 20 shots. Good win for the Pacers.

hxcmilkshake · 05-04-2025, 07:32 PM

They need Garland. They can win this one without him but no chance vs Boston

Imagine the back and forth between Nomad and the Cavs fans on this board if Indiana wins this series lol
