Eastern Conference Semifinals Live Thread: Game 3, Cavs @ Pacers (or, Just What The Doctor Ordered?)

Welcome to Indiana, Cavs fans. The wine and gold travel to Indianapolis for as important a “must win” game as they’ve had since 2016. The good news is that it looks like at least Hunter and Garland are playing. They’ve gone through pre-game warmups. No news yet on Mobley. For all the teeth gnashing after game two, it took an epic coaching meltdown, ratfuckery by the refs, horrible defensive rebounding, three of the Cavs’ top seven injured, and a miracle finish by Indy to win by… one point.

The Cavaliers aren’t done by a long shot, unless they believe they are. So let’s hope everyone stops playing scared, starts playing physical, and that no one puts up with Mathurin’s and Nesmith’s goonery. I hope the Cavs dust off TT for some hard fouls and key rebounds and that no one puts up with any shit. Go Cavs.
