Cavs at Hawks GT...time for the Hawks to prove the naysayers wrong.

[stalkerforlife]

I still think the Hawks are playing over their head and not a legit threat in the east. Maybe part of that is me not thinking Atlanta deserves the Hawks, but I doubt it. I love Al Horford, a former Gator great, but I don't see it.

Prove me wrong.

While I feel like they are overachieving, they are still the 2nd best team in the east imo (after bulls)

Also Cleveland sucks right now, Atlanta should be able to win

[fpliii]

I like Pero Antic. Was interesting to see them play with him last year, since all five players (with Millsap on the floor) could hit the three. Made life difficult for the Pacers since Hibbert couldn't camp in the paint.

Haven't seen much, or maybe any of Antic this year. Is he hurt? Or just not getting minutes with Horford back?

[hawkfan]

LeBron typically destroys us. Hope that doesn't happen tonight.

Raptors
Cavs
Bulls

I have those teams beating the Hawks in a playoff series.

I can't see Cavs beating them

Raptors maybe, I'll admit I haven't seen them much, but when I have its all isolation ball :eek:

We're technically on a 12 game winning streak when he's played. Our only two losses have been when we rested him.

[tontoz]

This thread has to be a joke. The last time the Hawks played the Cavs they blew them out of the building.

Then they beat Houston, Dallas and the Clippers consecutively. They also beat the Bulls before beating the Cavs.

Not sure how winning tonight would be so significant.

[StrongLurk]

Bran ain't even playing tonight :lol

[D-Wait]

Blatt starting Dellavedova against Kyle Korver :facepalm

As if there isn't already enough bad defense in the starting lineup with Mike Miller

[Richesly]

Al Horford out just now.

****.

[D-Wait]

Irving back!! :bowdown: :bowdown:

[r0drig0lac]

Kyrie http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif

[Richesly]

Irving back!! :bowdown: :bowdown:

He literally FOULED DMC on his 4 point play and no one even touched him on that and 1.

[Dro]

lol @ the Hawk's announcers........His name is Tristan Thompson not Tristan Thomas.........

dominique wilkins never pronounces names correctly

[LilEddyCurry]

dominique wilkins never pronounces names correctly
Lol they called him "lengthy" as well.

[D-Wait]

waiters making some shaqtin-a-fool worthy plays tonight

[D-Wait]

What the fukk is going on with Love? :(

[Twiens]

These shit is annoying. All I hear is the announcers talking about bs, game
Is an afterthough :facepalm

[Hey Yo]

LOL @ Nique talking out of his ass and questioning LeBron.

"When I played, if you could walk, you could play"

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[hawkfan]

That was the ugliest quarter I've seen in quite some time. David Blatt, Kevin Love and Dion Waiters need to go.

Kevin Love can come to Atlanta in the summer, for a front court of Love, Millsap, Horford.

[hawkfan]

Very solid first half by the Hawks.

[Dro]

Damn, Teague just shook the shit out of that dude.......

[Budadiiii]

Cavs keeping it close.

[rlsmooth775]

Lol as soon as they took love out the cavs went on a huge run

[lpublic_enemyl]

It's pretty clear that Cleveland is not a great team with out lebron. A lot of good individual players who don't play cohesively

[edrick]

Harris > Love tonight. Love just did not have it going.

[Kingwillball]

Cavs would of been a better team keeping wiggins and Bennett as love is severely overrated because of his lack of athleticism when he is not playing hard and shooting well he becomes a liability. I bet lebron and company regret pushing for Love in hindsight.

[Fudge]

Love is the best PF in the game. Just an off game. Doesn't help that pale ass Korver was hitting every shot he throws up.

[edrick]

Ah, Love is dealing with back spasms, that definitely didn't help him tonight.

Umm, he's up there, but I would take Griffin over him, easily.

[hawkfan]

James Jones sighting.

[lpublic_enemyl]

dellavadova is a pretty good defensive player, i like his game

[D-Wait]

fukkin Delly, can't take this dude anymore...

[Dr. Ice]

i miss horford...it's like i'm watching last year's hawks team

[NattyPButter]

good god Delly is such a scrub

[D-Wait]

It's pretty clear that Cleveland is not a great team with out lebron. A lot of good individual players who don't play cohesively

That's reaching it. Despite our "Big 3" the roster is pretty weak... Thompson may be a good Rebounder, but awful offensively... Waiters makes too many dumb Plays... the rest of the roster is even worse

[Kingwillball]

Love is the best PF in the game. Just an off game. Doesn't help that pale ass Korver was hitting every shot he throws up.

Lol best PF in game who can't even play in the 4th qtrs anymore cause of his defensive liability. His ass is glued to the bench once again in crunch time and in a game without lebron has 8 and 7.. What a stud

[hawkfan]

Nice effort by Millsap.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Waiters is such a chucker. :oldlol:

[D-Wait]

WTF Waiters, just go to the fukking bench :mad: :facepalm

[navy]

No Horford or Lebron? Both late scratches. How's the arena look?

[inclinerator]

did love get injured?

[Kingwillball]

Reasons why cavs underachieving 1) not nearly enough from a max so called superstar in love. 2) role players like miller and waiters been inconsistent 3) not enough defense anywhere 4) lebron is not as dominant as in past can't cover all the holes up by himself quite as well as in past years.

I blame the coach partially, don't get me wrong love was awful tonight. But some of the post ups he had all of his teammates were watching instead of moving. I've also seen a lot of iso ball tonight for Cleveland and the defence for both teams has been bad.

[navy]

did love get injured?
Plays no defense.

Apparently he's having back spasms so maybe.

[lpublic_enemyl]

did love get injured?
out due to "back spasms"

[Kingwillball]

Cavs defense is atrocious.

[lpublic_enemyl]

Cavs defense is atrocious.
NO INTERIOR DEFENCE.... :hammerhead: LMAO

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Atl announcers are shit.

[Budadiiii]

Lebron for Tyson Chandler and Monta Ellis.

I don't think the Mavs would do it though. Cavs will remain ringless for another 50 years. Sad.

[lpublic_enemyl]

yep:sleeping

[D-Wait]

GG Hawks fans.... If it weren't for Kyrie, this would be a blowout... great to see him back...

goodnight scoring but 7 turnovers is too many

[StephHamann]

Let's pretend this trade is a scuccess.

Lebron plays with a ball dominant PG that can't shoot for a living, Parsons at PF who can't defend PFs and also needs the ball sometimtes, and Nowitzki @ center. @ shooting guard you play undersized combo guards.

:roll: this team would not even make 0,5 in the west. :roll:

[hawkfan]

Good win by Hawks.
:rockon:

[JimmyMcAdocious]

James Jones looks like a turtle. The skinny neck doesn't help him, either.

[Meticode]

Good win by Hawks.
:rockon:
Indeed. Would've been pathetic if they lost. Love out the second half, LeBron out, Cavs playing like shit, they beat this team in Cleveland by 30 and Teague wasn't even playing. If they lost to this team, horrible lost.

Spin control once again by Meticode.
No faith in Waiters or Thompson? Aren't both high draft picks?

Both of them have under-performed this season. Thompson is starting when he's considered a high bench player. In my eyes. If he started the rest of his career his best season would probably be 14/12.

Thompson can come to Atlanta, and backup Al and Paul.:applause:
