By reilo Go To PostRT @RealSkipBayless Cavs sweep Hawks, who don't have a LeBron, a Kyrie or even a Love.
But Horford and Thrillsap are infinitely better than their front-court of Thompson and Love 🤔
Dat 1-9 start though.
By Sho_Nuff82 Go To PostDat 1-9 start though.Love is 0-6 so I am still correct!
By vic Go To PostCavs wanna 'ship.it's nice to want things.
By The Frankman Go To PostAtlanta better call upon the power of heart before they get that deep dish fucking
Bazemore and Millsap have to finish there.
Baze is definitely getting maxed by somebody this offseason.

By HasphatsAnts Go To Postlol nvm we're definitely getting sweptThey might win one in ATL.
By unknown Go To PostThey might win one in ATL.yeah.. no.
Charles full of shit saying cavs will have trouble vs the other two teams. Maybe Miami to an extent.
Hawks:
If only we had good players!
@malcwilkes
@bballbreakdown They create by far the most open 3s in the NBA at around 16 per game. They just don't hit them. Only around 35%.
If only we had good players!
What a terrible sequence for ATL.
Weren't the Hawks a league-leading 3 point shooting team last year? What happened?

Everybody's averages dipped, and the team isn't actually good at shooting threes. We just create a lot more of them.
By The Frankman Go To PostAgain… it's only9. Atlanta is staying relatively close.
No one has any kind of rhythm except maybe Schroeder. It would take them 30 minutes to make up a 9 point deficit at this rate.
Teague looks like he hears the ghost of Mozgof every time he drives.

There's some buzz Billy Donovan is thinking about a starting lineup change and that was only fueled more pregame when he said he'd announce starters when he's required to, shortly before tipoff. The early thought is Dion Waiters slots in for Andre Roberson to give OKC more offensive punch, but we'll see what Donovan does.
Game 2 might be too early for desperation time.
By unknown Go To Posthaspahts what happened, you were pretty confident with your team lol.
Boston got me. It's one thing to see them style on the Celts, but the moment this game started I realized they were out of their depth. I still think we can steal a game at some point, but that will be because Cleveland just didn't show up. They probably have to win just one close game all series.
Charles was right at halftime. As long as Lebron keeps hitting the open man (instead of forcing), it doesn't matter if Love misses 10 in a row, it still has the same effect on the defense.
Teague doing his best Lowry impression, smh.

Impressive

Cavs have erased Korver two years in a row with two simple words: don't help. Shump never even looked at the man driving on the last play.
Is there any reason not to start Scott and Schroeder next game? Teague and Korver look beyond shook.
Our bench is doing work. But can't beat Cleveland by gutting out 88-84 type of games. Too many scoring threats in the last 4 or 5 possessions for those kind of games to break in our favor.
Schroeder is prone to doing dumb things on defense. Mike Scott doesn't know what the word means.

I like how "hard screen by Lebron" is a euphemism for moving screen
Dude started the screen outside the paint and ended up 7 feet away from the basket

By tmdorsey Go To PostI think Scott should start over Horford. Horford has been pretty basic all playoffs.
You have to at least pretend you're going to rebound against this Cavs team.
Hmm, I don't know what the rule should be in these situations when one player launches a guy into the shooter.
