Sweep? You're talkin' about a sweep?

One game, folks. One. Game.

There is your Blob rebuttal to Game 1 of the Pacers-Cavaliers series, in which the Pacers made the Cavs look like yesterday's news in a 98-80 blowout in Cleveland. The Pacers were quicker, fresher, smarter and played harder. The Cavs looked like Clint Eastwood in "Gran Torino": tired and cranky and just wanting to be left alone to snooze on the couch.

Alarming note for the Cavaliers: They focused their D on Victor Oladipo and he still lit them up. V.O. went for 32 points and outplayed LeBron down the stretch, when the Cavs finally made a run and then essentially said "Ah, to hell with it."

Further alarming note for the Cavs: This was the first loss in a first-round series for LeBron since 2012. That's six years to you and me, kids.

Soothing note for the Blob, who predicted LeBron was not going to go out in a first-round loss to the Pacers: It is, again, just one game.

If we know nothing else about the NBA playoffs, it's that prior performance does not guarantee future results. Teams that get crushed in one game routinely return to crush the team that crushed them in the next. This in fact has happened to the Cavaliers more times than you can count.

And so: Before we bury Cleveland, I suggest we wait and see what happens in Game 2.

There's still a very good chance the Blob's prediction could be catastrophically, absurdly wrong. It certainly wouldn't be the first time.

On the other hand ... there's still just as good a chance I could turn out to be right about this.

For once.
