Live Thread: Cavs @ Hawks

2023-03-28 Off By Chris Francis

Good evening CtB!

The Cavs have ventured to the Georgia Piedmont to take on the Atlanta Hawks in a classic Eastern Conference clash. The Cavs have all of a sudden found themselves with a tiny shot at the third seed with a recent skid by the Philadelphia 76ers, while the Hawks are jockeying for play-in position. Unfortunately the Cavs will be dealing with a slew of injuries pressing both Lamar Stevens and Caris LeVert into starting duties.

Who are the Hawks statistically? On offense, they play at a fast pace and take care of the ball well mainly because they don’t care much for ball movement. On defense, they largely stink and can be exploited by crashing the glass on offense. The Cavs can find exploits such as finding transition opportunities because Atlanta doesn’t shoot the ball well, and crashing the glass on misses to exploit their lack of rebounding.

Tip off is scheduled for 7:30PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, Go Cavs!
