Pacers need to step it up. NBA doesnt want Lebron to lose this early.

[TheWatShot 13,335]

The 7 and 8 seeds are making noise tonight. The Wizards are up 15 on the Raptors in the 4th and the Bucks are up 15 on the Celtics after one.

Yep. Nobody is better at their style of game than Lebron. He is for sure great.

Raptors dropped a road game to the Wizards and somehow the Pacers pulled a rabbit out of a hat down by 17 at the half to go up 2-1 over the Cavs.   EG and the Rockets play today; OG & VIc in action again on Sunday.  Pacers need the real Victor Oladipo to show up as he did in game 1 of this series.

QB Aaron Rodgers of the Packers has become a part owner of the Bucks.  He joins a Milwaukee ownership group that includes the three primary owners: Wes Edens, Marc Lasry and Jamie Dinan.

Four of the last five playoff appearances for the Pacers have ended to a Lebron led team. Would be nice to finally get over the hump. Sunday's game is huge.

Just posting an interesting stat. It shows how much of a workload he has had over his career.

But yes I do love LeBron. Been my favorite player since I was sneaking out of my room after bedtime in 2nd grade to watch his high school games.

Serious question: why does he flop so much? I mean the whining is annoying, but meh.. why flop? That has truly taken away so much from his greatness.

No idea, I don't like it either. I also get annoyed when he gets passive like he did in the 3rd quarter last night.

Him being 6'8 260 is a lot of why it annoys me. I do think he gets fouled a ton, and even hard fouled plenty.. but.. that's part of it. He's an incredible player, just don't understand that.

This is just a guess, but I think part of it is that he's so big/strong. What would look like a hard foul on someone smaller looks like minimal contact on him because he can absorb it. So, he flops to try and sell the foul. It's smart, imo, but I can definitely see why that would get annoying to watch. It's probably a lot like how I feel watching James Harden.

The NBA rewards it, it helps your team win, so you do it. I get it’s not seen as honorable or whatever, but at the end of the day, all LeBron cares about is winning.

I don't really see it that way. But I'm not going to argue on this one. So ready for tomorrow night 

[HoosierAloha 29,887]

That was so NBE last night. The Pacers go up 7 and... in comes the refs to play out the script. Those two possessions should be the commercial for the new NBE.

Philly is going to dominate the East for years to come. I'm excited for it.

Pacers might have something to say about that.
