I can only assume LeBron was using that 3rd quarter as a psuedo break for his incoming 4th quarter explosion.

Prolly just wanted to see if his supporting cast would do anything.  Sadly, the answer to that was a resounding no.

[Machinator 32099]

Not sitting to start the fourth.

[Patrick Bateman 3933]

Too many 3's for Oladipo tonight.  1-7.  Go to the basket.....

[Machinator 32099]

Korver is a great teammate.

[Patrick Bateman 3933]

Bogs with back to back 3's+1..... 7 point lead for the Pacers and they're pulling away.  

[CBT 1287]

wow, what a second half.

you misspelled austin croshere

[Machinator 32099]

Those were some soft foul calls.

[CBT 1287]

damn, nice answer by lebron.

[Slade 263]

Cav run kicked off by a bullshit ass offensive foul called on Sabonis. 

[Patrick Bateman 3933]

Wow.... a couple of very soft calls vs Indy gets the Cavs back it in..... NBA needs dat drama.  

[Dutchrudder 11155]

He was clearly grabbing and holding JR back from being able to help on defense there.

[Patrick Bateman 3933]

B-O-G-S!!!!!!

[CBT 1287]

BOGDAN

[Michael Knight 12997]

So many missed 3

[Machinator 32099]

Maybe LeBron can will them to win this series, but I hope Indiana puts them out of their misery. This is easily the least enjoyable team featuring LeBron since the pre-Decision Cavs.

Nobody came to play for the Cavs in the 2nd half including Lebron.  He's hit a couple of late 3's but they're barely above 30 this half.  Hill and Love played well early.... Lebron has 6-7 turnovers tonight.

[Message Board User 12396]

It's unbelievable how many wide open 3s the Cavs are missing; Lebron is 4-6 from 3, rest of team is 5-23.

[Patrick Bateman 3933]

Terrible possession for the Pacers.  Joseph giving Turner the ball in the corner with less than 6 seconds on the shot clock is a horrid decision.  

[Machinator 32099]

Lol.

[Patrick Bateman 3933]

Love with a huge O-bound and 3..... Huge.  1 point game with 7 seconds left.

[CBT 1287]

Great play by Love.

[TonyTexas 10535]

King James doing his damndest

[Patrick Bateman 3933]

This was a game the Cavs needed to steal..... starting back court for Indy?  6-22, 2-10 from 3 with 7 turnovers.

JR Smith had a chance to win it but not close.  Indy up 2-1.  

For one night...... one night only..... BOGS >>>> . Lebron

LeBron nowhere near the ball. Wow.

[kingkoopa6 8381]

Clarkson was wide open for corner dagger

[CurlyDumps 4485]

JR Smith could have fired a pass to Lebron in the post.

Making the right pass at the right time is so far from JR's behavioral repertoire it might as well be theoretical.

LeBron doesn't do half court heaves. That's not his deal.

Dude you're too smart to be this dumb.  The plan was for Love to do the half-court pass after a make to Lebron for the 3 - just like the Wizards game last season.

...except Collison actually missed the shot to JR's side so that messed it up.  The Pacers knew this was coming which is why they doubled Lebron downcourt.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure "no last second heaves" is KD's thing, if anything.

They're pretty equally averse.

[immortal13 4059]

What a total choke job by the Cavs

[d2o 1602]

Even after giving away a 17 pt lead the Cavs has scored 7 straight and tied it up.    They got a couple foul calls in their favor and the momentum was back on their side.   They immediately starting jacking up threes when they didnt need them.    Just work to get buckets.   This was a TERRIBLE loss.

But, enjoyable.

That offensive foul call on Sabonis was terrible

When is the last time Lebron trailed in a 1st round series?

Before this series? Never.

That's pretty nuts

[immortal13 4059]

Lebron was gassed at the end of the game. I know Lue has zero control over what LBJ does, but Lebron not resting at all in the 2nd half was just stupid.

Quick google search: He's played in 13 first round playoff series.  7 opponents have had a winning regular season record. 

 

Wizards 42-40

Wizards 43-39

Knicks 36-30 (shortened regular season) 

Charlotte 43-39

Detroit 44-38

Pacers 42-40

THIS YEAR: Pacers 48-34

 

LeBron might be the GOAT. But playing in the EC has been extremely beneficial.  This is the first time he's played a good opponent in the 1st round. 

 

[Dutchrudder 11155]

Well the 4 seed does tend to play a decent opponent. I believe this is the first time he hasn't been a 1-2 seed.

correct

[Hank Kingsley 21061]

Right.  And generally the 5-8 seeds in the Easter Conference have been shitty for the last 20 years or so, especially compared to the Western Conference.
