Live Thread: Cavs vs Hawks
2014-12-17
Last time the Cavs completely blew out the Hawks – raining fire down from the heavens. They held Kyle Korver to zero 3s if I remember correctly. The Hawks just seemed demoralized by about midway through the 2nd quarter. They were missing DeMarre Carroll (a Tom Pestak favorite) at the time and they’ve been pretty good this season although they’ve had an easy schedule. Should be a tough game!
This has escalated quickly in the opposite direction.
Antic hitting threes now?! ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?
I know it’s early in the season…and this team has to find it’s identity…If Shawn Marion shoot the ball once more…this bum just flat out can’t shoot…why keep passing him the ball on the wing…Why is this idiot Blatt experimenting with different lineups???Joe Harris And Dellavenova have no business on the floor at the same time…they are both too slow to defend the weakest NBA player…This “coach”has no clue to what he’s doing…I’d walk him to the door personally…TONIGHT!!!!!
George is getting upset!
What???? Antic is a 3-Pt shooter too?
Yes the Hawks had a turnover
Now Horford scoring at ease on AV
Perimeter defense was putrid and now our interior defense is putrid.
You can just say defense is putrid. As much as the offense is exciting and fun to watch, this defense is nowhere near playoff level. Getting tired of seeing 60% opp fg.
It seems like it’s been WEEKS since Matrix has hit a corner three
Or an easy layup.
Horford is killing us!!!!
Correction, he’s killing KLove
They should probably help him out!
Yes, they should
Cavs with some screen door defense right now
Man, where has the rebounding gone? Wake up ANDY!
That’s waaaay too deep to let Horford get inside
Man Love can throw that ball!!
Setting a new high in points allowed for the first half literally every week is not a good thing.
The Hawks are shooting 67% from 3. That # must come down.
Hawks probably said the same thing about us in the first game. Except instead of 67%, it was 100% thru midway in the 2nd quarter.
Yes but we didn’t have a 20% 3-point shooter go 5-5.
Seems as if every hawk has sniper skills tonight. Yikes.
that was just stupid
I don’t think the Hawks will continue to be that hot from 3.
We didn’t think Orlando would be either. We could maybe try running them off the line? Ha no. That’s just crazy talk
What the F? Can these guys miss from 3????
Didn’t read the comments. I guess I’ll stop pushing the term so hard. Can we please get a couple more Dion catch and shoots?
Mack came into the game 9-44 from 3.
The Hawks have basically run the same play every possession.
Somebody needs to punch Shelvin Mack in the face. Ain’t no way he should be 5-5 from three without being put on his ass
It’s RAINING THREES for the Hawks. Really need some perimeter D. Maybe Blatt should switch to the zone D again
Efense… Efense… EFense….
Add Sheldon Mack to the scrub-fuego list
Great passing! Keep sharing the ball fellas!
SOMEBODY GUARD SHELVIN MACK!!!! HOLY COW
LOOOOL!
Super sub-fuego!
Perimeter defenses???
God damn Sheldon Mack Daddy!!!!
The Hawks may take the lead…. Ughhh
Shelvin Mack going SCRUB-FUEGO right now
Who the hell is Sheldon Mack?
Shelvin Mack was the point guard on the two Butler teams that got to the national championship game. He was mainly a creator and defender. Looks like his shot has improved since then.
Wow, you wouldn’t think any D at all being played in this one. Cavs still shooting over 60%, Hawks up to 63%
And the unfortunate Delly heat-check airball
ANOTHER DELLY TREY!!! Wow! With Kyrie and Dion sharing the ball this way, it’s how I imagined they could play together
If they’re both distributing like this, they can be DEVASTATING
Start the run on OOOOPS!!!! Way to be Ky and TT!!
Everyone contributing tonight. Great to see!
Delly all alone at the rim scares Horford into kicking the ball out.
Kyrie Swirving!!!!!!!!!! Hope that’s enough characters.
He looks like Tyreke the other night. Keep driving Ky!
And now the sub-fuego has gone to his head
Good decisions by Dion tonight.
I take that back!
Our own St. Weirdo
Bench is standing tall so far tonight! TT with a monster board in traffic!
Dion is officially SUB-FUEGO right now!!
This is what we need from Dion.
AWESOME ball movement from the second unit!!
Dion with a nice Trey!!!!
Cavs shooting like the Pelicans did the other night. 65% in the first quarter!
Love the Delly Trey! Clutch!
That stat about the cavs leading the nba in first quarter points is not irrelevant to how much they feature Love early in games IMHO. And it seems to me they kinda forget him midway through games only to forcefeed him again in the fourth.
Graet quarter tonight!
Love and Varejao
DELLY TRAY!
Delly Trey to close the quarter!!!
Nice rebound by Matrix, but where the hell was he throwing the ball?
Good hustle by Dion to get back and not let the easy fastbreak score
yeah he’s had a couple nice defensive sequences
Aw darn!! Wanted another AND ONE. The swarming, trapping D the Cavs are playing is great tonight
Great anticipation by LeBron there. Good energy this quarter
This is starting to feel like the AND ONE game
I thought Magic Mike was coming back from his concussion tonight??
Hawks can shoot, that’s for sure. Got to take care of the ball and limit their shots
they are a solid team. Well built. Should be able to really dominate their subs though
my gosh – that Korver 3. he needed no space
Kyrie doing a nice job so far fighting through screens. That near 24 second violation was really sweet
They were EVERYWHERE on that possession
Man that escalated quickly! 11-0 run.
Hawks with the doughnut D tonight! Kyrie to the rack!
Great energy from LBJ!! Pushing the ball forward. AND ONE!!!
Touchdown!!!! Browns should sign KLove to play on Sunday
Love sure doesn’t look sick out there. Except for his sick looking shot! AND ONE!
Be nice if the refs actually call some D 3 seconds on the Hawks tonight
Glad to see that KLove was able to go tonight
Nice pass by Kyrie there – no look to Marion
