Im sorry. But we gotta call out the ref that callrd that bullshit call on Garland. He just stood there. Wasnt moving forward in motion. Wasnt moving backward in motion. Had his hands up and indy player runs into him?? Smh sorry i call bullshit on that. that determined the game right there. League is soft af now.
All these pacer fans coming in the comments are clowns go get a life losers like damn. Bragging about beating on a crappy Cavs team is just sad go get rocked by the Knicks losers
Fuck this team. Not supporting this franchise anymore. Not buying anything, watching anything. Nothing. Fuck em.
Trade Garland and Allen for Giannis.
I’ll tell you what I won’t be watching next year
The Pacers slowly, but surely, took the Cavs' heart and soul away, game by game. By the 3rd quarter of this last game, the process was complete. You could feel that everyone in the stadium knew it… the place was quite as a funeral in the 3rd
I’m enjoying this hate watch, but gotta say. Your cry of “the fucking Indiana pacers have made two conference finals appearances” as if they haven’t deserved it. Acting like they haven’t always been better than Cleveland at basketball outside of LeBron. Knowing damn well if LeBron had been born anywhere else, the Cavs would have been relocated and we could all enjoy the super sonics some more.
“We had the two best players!!”
WHO?! Lmao a small scoring guard that doesn’t play defense, doesn’t make teammates better, and has never been to a conference finals himself? And a weak minded “dpoy” that isn’t aggressive enough to get more than 13fga?
Pacers clear, enjoy your regular season awards, Bull.
Grit wins games. But injuries also factored into this series. Don’t care about regular season. BTW
The Bull is the best.
Let EM "HAVE IT" BULL!!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta listen at least to offers for JA and DG! Cavs are way toooo small 1 thru 3! When Max Strus is your starting SF…what else do you really need to hear! AWFUL outside shooting and lack of ball movement…Sorry…that's on the guards!!!!!!!! that make alot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Unfortunately…the regular season will mean nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Max is a 2 guard..not a SF….Ty and Sam can't defend and close out on the perimeter…DG called out Hero..and yet he's the player that EVERYONE TARGETS! Having no draft picks moving forward..the only way to improve is via the TRADE…We have a SERIOUS salary cap/2nd apron problem! Gotta shake it up…can't run back this CORE 4! Mobley and Mitchell keep…but then……?
Too much energy Bull on Wade….Sorry he ONLY makes 5 mill and is NOT the problem! He does alot of little things…moving the ball and playing D is IMPORTANT!!!!
Koby's pathetic drafting has crippled the team! Mobley was a no brainer at 3 in a 3 player draft…other than that UNDERSIZED and UNDERLENGTHED positional players….What part of 1 thru 3 that we are tooooo small does he not understand!
Cavs could go 82-0 and NOBODY would give a ..sh………t.!
Cavs had no business losing this series period!!! Major choke job!!!
Series flipped when all of Cleveland started yelling OVERRATED at Haliburton. Now, ask yourselves, Who's Your Daddy?
Pacers baby this was clearly the better playoff team won the series but the cavs have a strong future ahead of them they will grow as a team the pacers where there a couple years ago keep grinding go pacers goooo
Pathetic!!!!!
The Knicks got manhandled by the top teams in the regular season and they're about to eliminate Boston so again it shows that regular season means nothing
Imagine a crowd chanting “Refs you suck” when they gave you 40+ free throws 😂
I lost all respect for them. Soft and weak. Im done with the NBA. Its just a 3 point contest. Whichever team gets lucky and hits the most 3s in a game will win. Go guardians and buckeyes. Lets get to football season. Nba is a joke
Wade and okoro suck. And Jerome was on a milk carton. They never recovered from that meltdown in game 2
You guys use excuses all the time for injuries. You do realize Aaron Nesmith and Andrew Nembhard missed basically the entire first half of the year and Hali was getting over injuries since the turn of 2025 Pacers have been just as good as the Cavs and Celtics lol the rest of the league is like 5-31 against the Cavs at home….Pacers are 5-0 lol
disaster post season Christ ol Mighty
Because the Pacers made the Cavs believe that they are the better team with their 64 win record.. The Pacers could easily won 60 games but they did not.
I’m very impressed with the cavs fan base. I’m sure there are some idiots out there but more times then not I’ve not seen whining or crying about refs or injuries or anything. You actually give credit where credit is due and I give mad respect for that. Cavs are a good team they just unfortunately got put up against the pacers when they got really hot. Seriously though you Cavs fans are legit good people.
As a Knick fan I feel bad for Donovan Mitchell I don't feel bad for the cavaliers they had a good run when LeBron was there .NBA help take care of them with that fast rebuild (we didn't forget)
The Cavs are just a lovable loser like the Browns and the guardians and any previous teams and future also until LeBron grandson become a cab in 2066
Trade Donavan Mitchell and Garlands now for Yanis and KD and Luka and Jokic and OKC SGA
Participation is more important than winning or losing just learn from girls six grader basketball teams
The Cavs played the same like last season and the leaders didn’t perform like Michell and Garland and the center who shrinks in the big games
At the end of the season the Cleveland Cavilears will be the NBA champion this year repeating from last year
Allen needs to go We need a powerful big Center who blocks
Garland and Mitchell 3 yrs in a row
Horrible playoffs appearance
Okoro and wade especially didn't deserve any playing time
As soon as they brought them in
I knew the coach was clueless
Garland inconsistent inside paint with shooting
If i had to pick between a team with the 2 best players vs a 8 deep squad of solid players id take the 8 every time. It takes a whole team to win
The Cavs definitely do not have the two best players in the series. Halliburton is definitely better than Mobley.
To win over 60 games and perform so poorly in the 2nd Round is more than disappointing. I am cancelling my Fanduel subscription.
Pacer fan here. It is great to listen to an impartial opinion. When you lose a gut punching series and still have the composure to view things objectively and give credit and criticism where it's due, it shows your level of professionalism is top notch.
Would you say you're better at bitching or whining?
Can't win with starters on the bench.
It's it really an upset though
Adam
I use to listen to you on the radio and I missed you when you moved on and I thought it was great when I found you just recently
But I can't listen to you because of your potty mouth and the thing is the f bombs don't help you in any way
PS saying that you can't blame injuries is a myth
You can't compete at this level with an injured squad against a healthy one
If we had been healthy we win this series no doubt!
The regular season is so pointless. I dont watch it
Adam you’re right about the regular season, during the regular season other teams are only playing with 75-80% effort but the cavs gave it their all to get the number one seed so when other teams increased their intensity to playoff level 120% teams were clearly faster stronger tougher and more focused, the cavs have a lot to learn!!
Games in the regular season..ARE NOT THE SAME AS PLAYOFF Basketball. Case in point…GSW 73-9. 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Trade Garland… if there is any market for him.
