Live Thread: Cavs @ Hawks

2023-02-24 Off By Chris Francis

Good evening CtB!

The Cavs have traveled south to the Georgia Piedmont to take on the Atlanta Hawks to complete their home and away back to back. The Hawks are fighting for an outside chance at the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference and have just fired their coach Nate McMillan. The Cavs are looking to end their two game losing skid and keep pace among the elite of the East. The Hawks will be without John Collins, and the Cavs should be all hands on deck.

Who are the Hawks statistically? Kind of stinky… they don’t rebound well defensively and are a bottom 10 defense in the NBA, don’t shoot well or pass the ball at all, but they do manufacture points by pushing the pace. So the Cavs would do well to control the pace on offense and crash the glass, and just play solid straight up defense and rebound the misses.

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