FIRST TAKE | This series is OVER! – Stephen A. on Pacers routs Cavaliers in Game 4 without Mitchell

trying to get [Vỗ tay] game that is the Gary Payton Jr. and ant during the Wolves game 3 win. Gary letting ant know the Warriors are hoping to stay alive until Curry can get back. Jay, do we think the Warriors will force a game six? I think they have a legitimate chance today and it all starts with Jimmy Butler. Look, I’m going to say this. Anthony Edward is that dunk that we just showed that he had over Looney, he does not get that dunk of Draymond Green is in the game. Draymond Green had that fou that Steve Kur challenged. It got overruled. They lost her challenge on it, but I actually it was the right it was the wrong call. It was not a foul. Draymond Green in that game, he’s not getting that dunk and he’s not buying his rhythm offensively and the speed of the game was faster. I think tonight is a must win scenario. I think Jimmy Butler gets one. He gets one win without Step Curry. All right, let’s go to the East. The Pacers came out game for Red Hot as they built a 44p lead over the CS before settling for an 8030 halftime margin. They would go on to win 129 109. But the biggest thing coming out of the game, Calstar Donovan Mitchell missing the second half after being ruled out because of a left ankle. Cap’s coach Kenny Atkinson said Mitchell will receive an MRI today. He has quote no idea about Mitchell’s availability for game 5 on Tuesday. All right, Windy, I’ll start with you. Uh, what do you make of Mitchell’s injury? Well, first off, I just want to say the Pacers were absolutely brilliant in this game. And the Pacers since January 1, 41 and 16, which is the kind of winning that a 59 win team would have. And so, you look at this series and you say, well, one team’s way better than the other team. Actually, there’s not that much difference between them and the paces are playing great. But one thing I will say is no matter what happens, the CS are not going to have any chance in this series of Don Mitchell is is going to miss be missing games or game. And they can say it’s an ankle. That does not look like an ankle injury to me. Okay. But I’m not a doctor. I’m not there. They had some initial testing last night. They’re going to have an MRI today. He was being bothered by a calf injury earlier in this series. And I suspect he was being bothered by it because the workload that they’ve asked him to do with the other injured players has been enormous. He came into this game averaging 41 points in this series. And I will also say this, the Pacers dominated the Cavs physically and mentally in this game. The Cavs are going to have to look themselves in the mirror and think about how they mentally approach this game. But anybody, including many teams who have won championships, can go into a road playoff game and get boat raced. It happens. The reason the CS are in trouble in this series is because they botch the end of game two, which is one of the worst collapses you will ever see. If they don’t do that despite their injuries, it’s 22. Instead, it’s 3-1. And now they’ve got Don in an MRI machine. Well, we can look at it that way. I don’t. Um, number one, if they had won game two and not botched it, they might not have won game 3 because the level of urgency that they came in the game 3 with being down 2 may not have been there. And the level of lack ofical, lack ofical approach on the part of Indiana might not have been there if they had lost game two. They were up 20 coming back to their home court and Rick Carl just raked them through the colds after they got after they lost game three because of the man in which they did so emphasizing the importance of rebounding and and beyond. But here’s the thing. Mad Dog Ruso was right. He said Cleveland has a reg that of a regular season team to me written all over them. Whatever you’re seeing from them in the regular season, I don’t believe them to be that team in the postseason. And that is how they have looked against the Indiana Pacers. We slice it any way we want to. And so for now, it’s like this season is on the brink. They’re down 31 in this series. There is no reason to believe that the Cleveland Cavaliers are going to come back from this. If Donovan Mitchell comes back, you go back to Cleveland, you know, you win a game five. Nobody believes you going to come back to Indiana with Indiana having the opportunity to close you out and they ain’t going to win game six. That’s how this series has looked. We’ve seen Indiana, their shooting prowers, their athleticism, their ability to run the floor, how they prioritized rebounding last night. They do. They destroyed Cleveland yesterday. They took their heart. That’s how bad it looked. We’ve seen people get beat down before. Just a bad night. That’s not how this looked. This looked a lot worse than that. We’ve seen team lose about 40. We ain’t seen losing about 40 in the first half. In first half. That’s what we saw. So to me, I I I just think about what Mad Russel said. That’s where I’m coming with the How shocking is Indiana’s dominance to you? I mean it’s last night made me feel like they could be a world championship team for the first time actually seeing it. I was like ok but I think I’m more disappointed in Cleveland. Yeah. And the reason why is I I get three other, you know, six top rotational players were injured in multiple games and Garlin’s been battling the toe to and then Donovan halftime. But last night that first that was embarrassing. That was embarrassing. And I listening to Kenny Atkinson after the game talking about just you know we weren’t prepared and we got you know steam rolled. I’m like how is that possible? That’s effort. That’s energy. That’s attention to detail in the game of that magnitude. So look, I I think at the end of the day you can always chalk it up by saying injuries play into that. But game 4 was extremely disappointing to me with just the effort they came out with at the beginning of the game. That wasn’t a game four type effort from a team that was down that needed a must win scenario. This series is a chicken sea wrap to me. It’s done. Oh, pa is a number one field go percentage in this postseason. Field go percentage, midrange field go percentage and threep shooting percentage. Pacers are number one. Wend the thing about the Pacers, guys, they want you to play at a certain pace. I know it’s a pun. If they get to play at their pace, they’re going to be very hard to beat. This series has been about who gets to control the pace. In game 3, it got slowed down. Pacers ran onto the court with their foot on the gas. And whether they close the Cavs out in game five or whatever, the Pacers going forward. If they control the pace, I don’t care who they’re playing. They’re going to have a chance. They got at least five players averaging 14 points a game this postseason. There is something to say about guards who are slightly smaller, who have larger frames that absorb a lot of contact. Like can those be superstar guards? I think they can be, but their probability of getting injured because of their physicality is something you always have to be cautious of. I mean that’s a wild injury for Don Mitchell to have. Obviously this usage was beyond crazy but just getting worn down over time. All right, when we come back on first take, the Celtic shined in game 3 while the Nick saw gray skies. What chance does New York have to bounce back? He debate on the way and we have much more on our breaking news. How does Yanis being open-minded about the Bucks future potentially impact the rest of the NBA landscape?

  1. You tripping he ain't worried about o draymond . I can't wait to hear what you gotta say tomorrow because he gone give draymond what you said he won't do

  2. Pacers seem to get lucky every year during playoffs someone putting some ju-ju on whomever plays them in playoffs last year they faced injured teams, this year the same bucks were injured now cavs are injured. Unbelievable.

  3. It's insane how the media doesn't want to give the Pacers credit. All these teams don't have depth and they play their players close to 40 plus minutes a night. That's why they're getting hurt. It's not the Pacers fault the other teams can't keep up

  4. Stop underestimating small market teams 🏀 WAS BORN IN INDIANA RICK WILL HAVE THE PACERS IN THE FINALS. THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR I THINK INDIANA HAS A CHANCE TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP

  5. NE Ohio resident here. I've been saying all season that the Cavs don't know how to handle ball pressure and intense defense. It's showing here.

    Yes, there are injuries. But even when missing
    pieces the regular season, they excelled. And
    see how they played without Garland against
    Miami. But when they got lots of ball pressure
    and intense defense thrown at them, they caved. Which is why OKC blew them out the one game and why the Hawks beat them twice in the beginning of the year. They have a major problem that coaching is not addressing. The Pacers are not that good. They just know how to exploit the Cavs' weakness. Boston is going to crush Indiana.

  6. Pacers could win the East, but that would be bad for the East. There's not a team remaining in the West that the Pacers will beat 4/7. Minnesota is a gentleman's sweep. OKC is a 4 and 0. Boston is the ONLY team to stand a chance, and they more than likely will lose to the Knicks. 😢

  7. Never listen to these people they working with the parlay people 😭😭😭 Cleveland gonna win today Mitchell gonna play…that last game was for Vegas 😂
