Goodbye to my 4-0 prediction. Still, this is Cleveland's series but a 4-2 series might be what the outcome is.

This Cavs team is so underratedly dysfunctional. Love at center is horrible defensively, while everyone was crying about Green missing 6 shots; at least give me Zizic at 5 and Love at 4, if even in limited minutes.

I still stand by Indy in 7.

So, not a double digit victory, but the Cavs do even the series. I'll still pick them in 6, with the Pacers evening up the series at home in Game 4 before the Cavs take the final two to advance.

Sabonis had part of his right hand on the ball, LeBron was just plowing again. Not saying it wasn't a foul on Sabonis (his left hand),but that is a joke as a flagrant.

The only reason the Cavs won was because Dipo got into foul trouble early and McMillan overreacted by benching him immediately (only finished with 3 fouls anyway); not a convincing W at all... doesn't look good going into Indy.

Pacers are literally chickens with their heads cut off with Dipo on the bench and composed when he's out there; it's wild to watch.

This Cavs team is pure fumes; it will be a miracle if they make it out of the East.

LeBron scores 46 points but gets asked about the death of Pop's Wife, Erin. Fucking top notch journalists.

Also, strange wording to say that she "officially died". Only the finest broadcast journalists working the sidelines, these days.

That's how I first heard the news too, watching LeBron turn into a deer in the headlights (understandably). Terrible timing, wording (although I didn't remember the exact wording until you posted it), and overall lack of human compassion. I fucking hate the media.

Collison had some huge shots, if that last 3 would've gone in (believe it was Dipo who shot it), that would have been the series. Overall, the game is still seen as a positive if you're Indiana. If Lebron hits 40+pts on 70%+ and you only lose by a shot or 2 you're golden.

LeBron obviously is still great but he's in serious needs of help from teammates. Love doesnt cut it as a second best player. He is total shit dunno what happened to Wolves Love when he was great. Unfortunately, this team without LBJ doesnt look like nothing like a playoffs team. And you need a playoffs team and a superstar(s) on top to contend. This team doesnt suit the bill.

Report: Cavaliers' Love suffers partially torn ligament in left thumb

The injury bug has once again struck Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love as he sustained a partially torn ligament in his left thumb, according to an ESPN report.

But according to the team, Love is not expected to miss any time and will be ready for Friday's Game 3 at the Indiana Pacers.

Love missed six weeks earlier this season with a broken left hand. The Cavs' All-Star had 15 points and six rebounds during the Cavaliers' Game 2 victory of the Pacers.

it's a little sad for love. he normally kills it in the early rounds against the teams that don't have bigs that can rotate out to the perimeter. don't see that bull on the boards and him throwing his weight in the post. this past game...he's a FT beggar on the perimeter. sad

and is myles turner that bad on defense he gets hidden on jr smith and/or calderon. wow

Lol, I would love 6ers-Rockets.

This game put me in an excitement coma; I don't think I can focus on Drew Bledsoe vs. Rozier.

That was super exciting; I thought he did the best he could. It's more frustrating when you don't even get an attempt off.

He can sell it on the guarantee of a team winning their first ever title, like Mavs vs. Heat in 2006.

No matter if LBJ gets through this round, this is exactly why I didn't consider them championship caliber team in this year's playoffs. Even if they might get there somehow, look at top 3 players of each western conference powerhouses. LBJ alone won't be able to beat them in 7 game series.

All I have to say is if they ran a big lineup with LeBron back at the 3 and Love at 4 this would be a whole different series; I don't care if your center is Nance, Zizic or even TT.

I thought their most successful lineup yesterday was Clarkson-Hood-Green-Love-Nance.

There we go, another playoff loss and another round of blame Isaiah for everything:

"The season was crippled before it began by the forced trade of Kyrie Irving and by the misfit who was acquired for him, Isaiah Thomas."

But I thought the midseason trade was suppose to have rectified everything that was wrong with the team? According to the likes of Charles Barkley, they were now destined to become finals contenders with the fixes they made, not face a possible defeat in the first round?
