Pacers have now beaten Cleveland four out of five times this year
Make that 5 out of 6.

 

[biggunsbob]

Just pisses me off more watching The end of the Celtics losing game one to the Knicks. **** you Nba for stealing the game from the Pistons .

 

[biggunsbob]

Both road teams win to start eastern conference.

 

[biggunsbob]

End of three it was 98-84 Cleveland, and 117-110 with 1:07 left.
119-112 with 47.2 seconds left. What a choke.

Cleveland melting down again in the 4th.
What a total collapse!

 

[biggunsbob]

Down by 20 the pacers come back. Such poor. Coaching and execution by Cleveland last few minutes.

 

[biggunsbob]

First time in NBA history in this round that all four road teams have win game 1.,
Last 31 playoff series for GS they have at least 1 road win in 30 of them.

So the strange eastern conference continues with the home team being 0-6

 

[Mitchrapp]

I think I saw Indiana up by like 40 at half time.. Wow.

 

[Cam]

Indy scored 80 in the first half. What a beatdown. That's a wrap on that series.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Cavs out, Celtics about to be out. I didn't expect that..

 

[biggunsbob]

Knicks make first conference finals since 2000.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I guess I'm be hoping for a Minnesota title ..
