Cavs number 1 SEED is Fraudulent and TRASH 🗑
He's such a clown as the very first words out of his mouth was just excuses 😂😂😂 championship teams don't need to make excuses cause they win at home 😂😂😂
Cavs fan here. Don't blame the refs we straight up choked this game, and Halliburton was clutch af. But I'm not giving up on this team, that some loser bandwagon shit. Cavs in 7. 💪
cleveland is so small
Imagine if the Cavs had to play the Knicks,Bucks,or Pistons in the playoffs.Pacers are like the 5th or 6th most physical team in east.I like the Cavs squad and I can appreciate he thinks he is going to bat for his guys but the playoffs are going to get more physical not less.Fans bashing Pacers now ,Bucks fans predicted you were sweeping Pacers.Now you predicting our future to.Tough way for Cavs to lose w guys out but 2nd straight Eastern Conference finals coming for Pacers now.Cavs could not lose this game and win this series.
🤣I am not a fan of either team, but the refs are not the reason for your choke
JJ Redick got more votes for coach of the year than Rick Carlisle, how absurd is that?
This coach need to be humble, give pacers credit idiot.
Shame on you coach, give pacer credit when its due.
How your players will believe you now if you don't know how to take ownership and responsibility coach. He look like the joker from batman.
Obviously out-coached
We need Wiseman back too, eh?
Pacers ARE the deepest team, have been for 2 years, duh!
Pacers are the luckiest team ever last two years every team they played has stars hurt
Cavs shot more free throws AGAIN….Arrogant coach enjoying a slice of humble pie
Sad we lost but c’mon, if he misses that shot the Pacers lose to a team without 2 All-stars and arguably their best bench guy.
SMOOOOOOKED
When your best player is getting hacked , put a sacrifice in and hack 2x back
Nobody on the cavs played 40 mins. and yet they all gassed up. I guess this team is not well conditioned. All of thatload management and rest didn't help it only made it worse. It's the playoof so you have to expect your players most especially your starters get a lot more minutes in a hotly contested game.
Hahahahahaha start making excuses but in the fourth quarter interview he was praising his team like it was the best they've ever played together blah blah blah what a loser sore loser
Let's go get 2 in Indy
I love this cavs team but I’m happy the pacers are winning.. tired of this coach complaining about grabbing and the refs.. every other series is more physical than this one except for maybe boston vs Knicks and nobody else is bitching like him. Hope they get swept.
We coming to get 2 in Indy
stop playing ty jerome he’s been horrible this series
“Grabbing, holding, we couldn’t get open”, yessiiirrr Playoff Basketball Baby, 🤣, you know the drill! Nothing is given, everything must be earned😂, you’ve been here before right? Well act like it, stop winning, and tell your team to turn up the intensity, grabbing, and holding the same way!!
Coach of the year my ass
This guy still crying about calls? Mitchell shot almost as many free throws as the whole pacers team.
Sprained toe, sprained ankle, sore thumb. Too bad no Willis Reed toughness for Cavs.
Pacers suppose to win. We're missing three of our key guys 😂😂😂
Is he okay? He keeps repeating himself. They “grab, hold, their physicality”. His players sound like coaches and he sounds like a guy who wandered off the bench into this interview.
Hey pacer fans had 3 top players out for cavaliers
LOL fans taunting Tyrese, The Cavs got what they deserve! Lesson to be be learned, do not taunt the players and piss them off. The pacers are one of the only teams that have score 8 poiints in the last minute of a game. Reggie Miller scored Reggie miller 8 points in 9 seconds against the Knicks! iI think it is time to bring back the Bobby "Slick" Leonard sportcaster slogan and start saying BOOM BABY! By the way the Refs did not the majority of foul calls against the cavs. The Cavs could have commited murder and the refs would have looked the otherway. The pacers should have won anyway if the Refs were being fair the entire game
Indiana ERASER pacers. Erase superstars and win!
Hate to say this coach but your a crybaby
Cavs should have one that game. There is just no excuse. He played his main hoop shooters way too much. It was his rotation that lost Cleveland the game. You have to have confidence in your back up players. If you don't then they shouldn't be on the team. That is why Cavs 'ran out of gas"! So disappointing!
You are complaining and I don't like it…bad execution under a minute is crazy
