    This is 100% what I'm seeing. I was flabbergasted the media tried to portray the Cleveland moves in February as an improvement. This team was doomed at the deadline. They admitted defeat! They sent out all their vets they could and acquired almost nothing but rebuild tools in Hood, Clarkson, and Nance. Their big mistake was half-saying it with the 1st going out and George Hill coming in.

    I've been saying it all year but LeBron is gone this summer and Cleveland is going to lose him for nothing. He should go to the Lakers or the Sixers, hopefully here. Honestly part of me wants it to happen just to read the responses in here. :D

    Can't blame Cleveland for doing what they did at the deadline. LeBron wouldn't commit to staying even when they were trying to trade for PG. His mind's been made up for some time to leave again. Why Kyrie wanted out it seems.

    Realgm wiretap said Spurs won't trade Kawhi to your team.

    Rivalry or they know Lebron will be there and Kawhi does not want that circus?

    I'm not blaming Cleveland, I think it was the right move.

    I'm just commenting regarding the media who tried to spin it so that LeBron got the help he needed when it was the opposite. This is the first year I can honestly agree with, "LeBron needs more help" arguments.

    I think Ty Lue has been told to run LLLLL into the ground. It’s pretty crazy to play him 46+ min in a playoff game, but to have to do it round 1 just to stay alive in the series? Yikes!

    This will be a “fun” series, but the celebrating is premature. LeBron isn’t going out in the first round, even if he’s driven into the ground fighting to make it out.

    I think it goes 7 games, and anything can happen game 7. He MUST be missing Kyrie though

    LeBron knows this team will not win a championship, he should relax and just rest for the off season, lol I really hope he loses in this first round. Pacers had so many chances to win this game.... Damn

    The Pacers had one dang job, the win was sitting right there. **sigh** That's two losses away from not getting LeBron.

    Lebron is great but I think stars don't like playing with him , his buddy Wade being an exception .

    Missed opportunity for IND. They will regret this.

    Hopefully Utah understands this same opportunity as well tonight.

    Also CLE doesn't win last night if not for Korver, guy was huge for them in the 2nd half and especially down the stretch in the 4th quarter. Lebron up untill late in the 4th only had scored between 2-5 points in the 2nd half. Others were keeping CLE in that game.
