"Buddy Hield does his best Stephen Curry impression (went 9-of-11 from 3) to take the Warriors to the second round....

Remember when Buddy Hield’s biggest playoff related thing was how he had played 600 games without making a postseason? I think those days are in the past."

Haliburton, well we all know how he missed three consecutive shots from beyond the arc before driving past Giannis in OT to take the series.

Both complete goof balls, but nice.

He had a great game sure but Buddy Hield is absolutely not "one of the greatest shooters of all time", not even close

He's closer to Jalen Green than anything else

Nomad · 05-06-2025, 05:15 PM

I was making the argument that Hield is not only "one of the greatest shooters of all time" but up there with MJ in his effect on the hobby and the game.

Mobley/Hunter/Garland all out tonight for the Cavs...

Just brutal...

The team is healthy all year than falls apart for the playoffs the second straight year.

Can't believe I'm actually wondering if the Cavs can "steal" one from the Pacers tonight to buy them time. What a turn of events.

bradjames12 · 05-06-2025, 06:00 PM

Pacers simply can not lose this game tonight with those 3 being out

Nomad · 05-06-2025, 06:15 PM

They probably will. They always play down to the competition.

tjforce · 05-06-2025, 06:35 PM

If nothing else, the Cavs effort here in the first quarter is top notch

bradjames12 · 05-06-2025, 06:37 PM

Pretty much complete opposite of game 1 in the 1st quarter..

Cavs defense is really throwing the Pacers off... sigh

I don't get too excited about 1 quarter, but that was pretty impressive.

Sam Merrill going 3-3 from 3 then picking a steal had me cracking up.

blackvodka · 05-06-2025, 06:42 PM

Strong start from Mitchell. He knows he has to play better for them to win.

This is usually when Pacers cut the lead down to around 6 by half.

bradjames12 · 05-06-2025, 07:18 PM

Pacers are extremely lucky the deficit is only 11

And the prophet was wrong.. stone him immediately!!

Nomad · 05-06-2025, 07:25 PM

Man. Everybody must get stoned.

Jarret Allen is him.

tjforce · 05-06-2025, 08:05 PM

Ty Jerome may single handedly blow this game

rhigh2390 · 05-06-2025, 08:18 PM

This is crazy. So many blown 20 point leads in the playoffs!

Nomad · 05-06-2025, 08:20 PM

Whoever wins, this is playoff basketball.

drobfan8 · 05-06-2025, 08:27 PM

The kick out 3 on a fast break is a joke.

Stop taking short cuts.

fabiani12333 · 05-06-2025, 08:32 PM

The Pacers have had multiple opportunities to bridge the gap the last couple of minutes but haven't converted.

Nomad · 05-06-2025, 08:35 PM

Even I can see the refs clearly want Cavs to have this.

They missed Nesmith on so many looks.

Why are they having Haliburton be the primary ballhandler instead of Nesmith?

Nomad · 05-06-2025, 08:38 PM

Or just find him for a couple open 3s. Humble winner.

Anyway, we got this (series).
