We've played Atlanta four times. We lost three of them. One time is eh it happens. Three times is eh a pattern is forming here.

Yea we also beat them by 33 points the time we beat them...We also beat the Spurs the year they swept us in the finals
 
Nets swept the Heat last year in the regular season, and that clearly meant something too.

We didn't need to go through San Antonio to get to the finals though.
 
I can't believe we are talking about fearing the Atlanta Fuckin' Hawks! What has the world come to. They're a cute story, and yes, they are good. They would make it tough.

Fear them? No way. This game meant more for them than us at a psyche standpoint. LeBron doesn't get up for games in the regular season like this. Come on, he's pacing himself, waiting for the playoffs.

Let's be honest, that Orlando season Cavs team wasn't that good. The team was perfectly constructed around a heavily-relied upon LB. That's it, play off LB.

This team is way superior on talent, and multiple of ways we're capable of playing. '09 Cavs were one dimensional.

This team is not.

'09 Cavs had a great regular season and tore through the playoffs, until they ran into a 'roided-up Rashard Lewis, an out-of-his-head Turkoglu, and a D12, who was free to set moving picks. Their guys got hot, and Mo and Delonte were decided to play a bizarro world game of horse, where the goal was to match the other guy, brick for brick.

With a little luck - or a little less BAD luck, the Cavs take that series, and challenge the Lakers, too.

What excuse was there for the series vs Boston the next year?

Oh, right.

LeBron went rogue against Golden State and blew them out.

exactly. which masked the fact that GSW played better as a team, even with curry having a bad game. if we're expecting lebron to do that to win a title i think we're going to be disappointed. i'm not worried tho, the pieces are there, lebron just thinks he needs to do it all himself
 
I feel pretty good about tonight. Battled back from a 17 point deficit and had stretches of phenomenal defense. Hawks coming off 2 days rest at home. Didn't feel the Cavs were out of it until the last 1:30 or so. This is one of those games we happened to lose but I don't feel defeated. The Cavs can hang with this club.

I'm more annoyed by the 25 losses total but what can ya do.

It's really funny that the 2009 Cavs team would kick this teams ass. I didnt expect to lose 25 times this season. We probably wont make it to 50 wins even this year.

They beat two shitty ass teams before they played the Magic. Come on, Mo was our second best player. No disrespect to him, but I never imagine us ever winning a title with him as our second best player.

They were a good team, that's it. Not a team that was destine to win a title. We'd have gotten smoked by the Lakers if we played them.

Hey, it happens. And happens some more. Okay.. and maybe a little more.

These aren't your grandfather's Hawks. Or maybe they are - they won the championship in 1958, a couple years after trading the rights to Bill Russell, and ensuring that the 1958 title would be their last one for decades.
