Lebron's had a great game, but the refs are certainly helping to ensure CLE ties this 1-1.

Lol they're not even hiding the blatant Lebron bias at this point. Ray Charles could've saw that blatant push by Lebron on Stevenson, yet still not a foul to good ole Ed Maloy!

I mean, how this isn't called when it occurred right in front of an official is beyond me.

Credit the Pacers, despite being 8 on 5 and losing Oladipo for much of the 1st half due to foul trouble, they are on the road with a 1-0 lead already and battling. Only down 4 now.

IND should get a quick 2 and then try to get a stop.

I am a bit confused by the take that he should have kept playing and pushed off surgery. Unless I am confused, they discovered an infection when he had this surgery. If he didn't have it when he did, he could have actually had a worse infection and much worse damage. How are people upset the infection was detected?

And then to top it off, the last time he played through knee pain because people questioned his commitment, he ended breaking his kneecap. At the end of the day, this is his livelihood. Players need to listen to their bodies and make the best decisions for themselves. Watching IT put off hip surgery and cost himself millions of dollars only to hear him say himself a year later that if he could go back he wouldn't do it again, should only reinforce that.

This Cavaliers team just isn't the same.

They needed an all-world performance by James to squeak out a win at home, in a game where Oladipo also was restricted much of the first half due to foul trouble.

Wouldn't surprise me if this series goes 7 games.

Oladipo took too long to shoot. If he made that last one quicker, the chance to tie by a steal and make a 3 would have been there

Let it go to 7, with multiple overtime games with James having to play 50+ minutes to get out of the 1st round. lol

Lol, of course Reggie Miller thinks that that hit on Teague by Chris Paul was "incidental" ::).

Donovan Mitchell is so good! Can't believe he's a rookie.
