Cavs vs. Hawks 4-0, Classy, Yet Non-Competitive Sweep

[TitleTown]

Yeah bro.. I own a software development company these days. Been coding since I was 7.



Quite a few..

I mean right now, I'm working in AngularJS, so JavaScript/HTML (some Jade) / CSS (SASS).. In the morning? It'll be mostly C# for some desktop projects and PHP/JavaScript for some eCommerce work.

When I come home? I'll be in good ole Free Pascal and C for some Linux work that I've gotta wrap up.

Add to that Java, C++, Haskell, Obj-C, Swift...

After awhile you don't really look at things through the lens of a language, rather than the construct or paradigm of the application logic itself. Languages don't really matter, it's just syntax.



For Linux based work, Vim. So for me, that's like 50% of my time, both personal and professional. I switched from Emacs a few years ago when I started doing a lot more remote work and Vim just made more sense at that point. I've tried to adopt a policy that allows me to work from almost any PC with internet access to my company's Git repository. So Vim is perfect for that... but, Vim isn't perfect for every language, environment, or situation.. (i.e., Windows, C#, desktop development)

So other than that, it depends.

If I'm working in .NET, Visual Studio; obviously.
If I'm working in Angular or Ember? WebStorm.
In PHP, Vim, all day long.
For FPC, I normally code in Lazarus but hate it -- would love to extend Vim or Emacs for this purpose.
NASM, Vim..

I've been spending some of my time in Unreal development, and for that, obviously Visual Studio is the tool of choice without a doubt.

And again for most Linux stuff including remoting over SSH, or any C or C++ work, it boils down to Vim.

Anything Apple-based and I'm in Xcode. For Dalvik work, I used to do a lot of work in IDEAJ, but nowadays I'm rocking Android Studio a bit more.



R is beautiful, I used it extensively in college. Atom is also great, and I've heard that it's come along a lot since I last used it..

I've been meaning to give Atom another look, but got sidetracked trying to deploy Cloud9 instances onto my servers for my overseas developers. I figured they might appreciate a more streamlined workflow.

Now, there's also Visual Studio Code which a LOT of people are telling me is shitting on everything, has a Vim mode for guys like me who love the keyboard, and can really streamline the workflow of editor jumpers like me.

I would love to find the One True Editor, but unfortunately at this point, that editor doesn't exist. Also, I do think IDEs server a purpose in languages with massive default frameworks like C# and Java.

Holy shit. Awesome.

I'll PM a response to not sidetrack.

Not to derail the thread, but the new album is amazing, too! On first listen it reminds me a bit of The Bends.

Radiohead is easily my most favorite band of all time. Going to listen to the whole album tonight during a coding session.

As always, not to derail the thread, of course but...

I've seen them about a dozen times since their 2001 Amnesiac Tour. That includes an amazing set -- the longest they've ever played -- at Bonnaroo in 2006. Also, I've seen them at Liberty State Park in NYC with the towers in the background a month before 9/11, and of course all their shows at Blossom.

Far and away my favorite band to have come out over the last 20 years or so.

As for the new album, Decks Dark is immediately sticking out as an instant classic. It takes me a few listens to give it an honest appraisal, but all first impressions are excellent.

Decks Dark is easily my favorite of the new album. I really hope they tour the states again soon. I saw them at Blossom when they were touring for In Rainbows.

Surprised/glad to see so many Radiohead fans on here.

Since the Hawks couldn't do anything to hold our attention or extend this series and thread, I'll chime in with my own Radiohead story.

Only saw them live once but of the upwards of hundreds of concerts I've gone to or played at, it was a top 3 show. 1997 at the Lakewood Civic auditorium, a high school theater essentially, of all places. OK Computer had just came out so the entire set was made up of songs from The Bends and OK Computer plus maybe Creep and one other Pablo Honey song. It was a particularly humid day and there were storms all night with heat lightning moving horizontally through the sky. I went with my girlfriend and we had argued most of the day. So all the elements were in play for an epic cathartic show and they completely delivered. Somehow have passed up so many opportunities to see them live again. I'm sure of love to and I'm sure it'd be incredible but it would have a hard time topping my memory of the 97 show.

They're up there for me, too. The new album is fantastic.

I haven't seen them live, yet. I'm going to try and go on this new tour for sure. Decks Dark is amazing, and I like Burn The Witch a lot too.

Saw them at Blossom in 2001 and in 2011, the last time they toured. You talk about pro's pros... those guys can put on a fantastic show seemingly without breaking a sweat. It's fun to see them live if for no other reason than Thom Yorke- he has a (probably well-earned) reputation as a Gloomy Gus, but when you see them live you really sense the joy he takes in performing. I'll have to listen to this new album. The Bends is still my favorite Radiohead album (and my all-time favorite.) I don't like their newer stuff quite as much, but I give them a lot of credit for always trying to innovate and stay fresh.

Windy on WKNR this morning:

-The historical stats are unbelievable with the Cavs shooting. It is true, the Cavs look like the best team in the NBA right now. It still doesn't matter where they are now. It matters where they are if they make it in the NBA Finals.

-This is the best the Cavs have looked in 2 years. This is what the Cavs thought they would look like when they built this team. This style of play is indefensible. Mike Budenholzer said after the game said they defended the way they wanted to and the Cavs just beat their strategy. Paul Milsap thought they had a game plan that would work against the Cavs and the Hawks said they haven't seen anything like what the Cavs did.

-The Cavs shot 51% from 3 point in the series. From 3 feet and closer they shot 48%. Kevin Love, Frye and JR had games where they made 6 3 pointers. First time in history, a team has had 3 different guys hit 6 3s in a playoff series. No team has ever made 15 3 pointers in 4 straight games. The Cavs made 77 3s in the 4 game series, the most the Cavs had during the regular season was 61. The most the Warriors had were 68. The Cavs only made 81 2 pointers. This is the greatest display of shooting you have ever seen in the NBA.

-Both the Pistons and Hawks dared the Cavs to shoot 3s. Detroit backed off from Kyrie which made sense at that point since he wasn't shooting well. The Cavs are playing lineups with 5 shooters at once. The Cavs aren't playing Mozgov anymore and when Frye is in there making shots, the team is unguardable. Teams need to help on Kyrie and LBJ driving or they will kill you. In Miami, the concept was to put 3 shooters around LBJ. Now, the Cavs have 4 shooters around LBJ and it is a perfect storm.

-Should the Cavs still be doing this? Looking at the stats, it is an overwhelming yes. They should even take more of them. Is it sustainable? It will be dictated by their opponent. If the opponent sells out to defend the 3, the Cavs can go the other direction. He thinks they can go the other way if teams sell out. There is something very exciting happening here.

-The Cavs haven't played a great offensive team yet and probably won't until the Finals if they get there. Atlanta shoots 57% in the first half and in the second half when it matters, they couldn't buy a bucket. TT took Paul Milsap out of that series and he was awesome yesterday. They have the ability to defend when they need to, but can they do it when GS puts their lineup of death on the court. He still doesn't think so but in the last 3 weeks, the Cavs have their own lineup of death. How will the Warriors defend the Cavs?
-The Hawks couldn't handle the Cavs offense and they had the best 2nd half defense. Teams may be more prepared now that the Cavs have more shooters on the floor.

-Steph Curry will play in Game 5 and that is when he will get the MVP trophy. He is going to come back but we don't know how he will look when he comes back. The Warriors won't know either. You won't work your way back into form/health playing the Spurs or Thunder. He expects him to play well because the MRI came back pretty positively.

Thanks!

What we are doing this year is special. Extremely special and we are just rewriting the history books along the way.

Now we need two more series to add some records..and BAM! Championship!

I have one big gripe..and it continually shows up on the interior defense..any penetrating guard and wing are getting into the paint with easy floaters and scoups...we don'[t have anyone playing that can swat those out and alter a shot..and the one that can is locked on the bench...due to whatever is affecting him.

While I agree I think TT has shown that the other aspects he brings to our defense are just as valuable. It was only once he sat with 2 fouls I realised how much he does for us defensively. More than a whiteside would provide

For anyone that is worried about the Cavs performance in this sweep-clinching win, the Hawks are a good team.
They tied for the seventh best record in the NBA. They were 27-14 at home in the regular season, and 3-0 in the playoffs coming into this series. They were 29-22 against teams with records of .500 or better.
They had the second best defensive rating this season and the best in the second half of the year.

I'm not saying that the Cavs can't improve on things they did in this game, but the Cavs gutted out a road win in the playoffs against a quality opponent and now get to rest.

this is that shit RIGHT HERE. if you let some of these talking heads tell it you would think we just beat the damn washington generals or something. and im gettin sick of this "its more of the hawks than how the cavs are playing" narrative too, bottom line, they came in confident that they "figured us out" (like millsap said) and we just beat them into submission.
