Home team. Is Love playing?

If he isnt do they have better odds?

LOL!

Great game, on to the north.

Oladipo still managed to $%^& everyone who bet on the Cavs with that last second pointless shot.

+1, LeBron is just a monster, they're going to have to fix their defense though if they want to get anywhere in the next round, it's just hard to watch them blow such big leads multiple times in a game.

Here's the crazy thing - even with 45 points on 25 FGA (insane efficiency for such a high volume), he was still a -2 on the game. Bottom line, this series really exposed the Cavs. Obviously there was a huge drop-off for them the whole regular season, but everyone kinda assumed they'd turn on the jets in the playoffs and be fine. The silver lining is that no one else in the East looked dominant in their first round series.

philly looked dominant to me.

I gotta tip my hat to the pacers. No one thought they would win 30 games this year. If they take the next step next year they can be a scary team. Doing all this after they lost their best player.

Yes - against the heat, with their star Dwayne wade.

Missed the forth quarter. Any excitement?

Lebron benefited from a goaltending call 😂

Oladipo had money on the Pacers and took a meaningless last second shot to beat the line.

so you only watch in Friday night and when Cleveland loses. Got it.

So did you have $ on the game?

didnt know there was a criteria. Also philly was missing their best player for 2 games. If you aren't impressed with what they have done so far then you are not paying attention

They’re a great team. I also think they have a good shot at landing lbj next year.

they are probably the only team who doesn't want him.

You seriously think they aren’t talking to his agent?

Maybe it's just me, but if we're talking first round matchups, it's probably not dominant unless you sweep. And yes, Embiid was out for the game 2 loss, but they only barely eked out the win in game 4 as well. I certainly agree they looked like the team to beat in the East though.

[Dan]

Cavs in 6 vs Toronto?

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Blue Chip Casino watching the game.

Went back to the craps table after eating my free lunch. Some of us have priorities.
