Game 13 | Hawks (9-5) vs. Cavs (9-3) | November 21, 2015 | 7:30 PM EST

Hawks will probably complain about that dunk after the game.

And we could complain about how they paid off the refs, but let's call it even

Seriously though, I don't like the Hawks. They are a sneakily dirty team.

Great win, but its gonna be difficult to keep winning with only one PG (still we finished with 27 assists somehow)

 

[Jordan]

Cunningham needs to improve his passing... If he does he could really nab some NBA minutes. Other than that I was really happy with the game. Hawks had six guys on the floor the entire night.

If I am a Hawks fan I fucking hate Delly and Tristan. Their energy gives Atlanta so much trouble.

Cunningham just fucked the Hawks on that last dunk. Good for you kid.

The video of LeBron walking off the court in the middle of the game was hilarious

Yeah, he just didn't give a single fuck,

Hey, remember when everybody got their panties in a bunch when we lost two games?

If it wasn't for LeBron speaking out, who knows what the team would be like. And they're playing down two more players. The panty bunching was very justified because there was a legitimate cause for concern. We looked bad on both sides of the floor for large chunks of the games. The team looks different now and are playing like we know they can. I don't speak for everyone, but I was pissed even when they were winning because we were squeaking by the worst teams in the league.

My overall takeaway from this game is just how defensively this team can smother the Atlanta Hawks. It wasn't like the Hawks shot a lowly 37% because they weren't hitting shots, Cleveland's defense kept them scrambling the entire time and they got no sort of rhythm for any significant amount of time.

In that regard, Atlanta's instability on offense was also the product of 51 rebounds by the Cavaliers. Very little second chance points on their end and Cleveland was +13 in that stat.

Also love the offensive prowess of Smith. When this guy has it going on, he could, more than likely, duel with Curry for a stretch.

This is what gets me.We can run so many looks out there and kind of still need to add another player VIA exceptions. Jefferson and James Jones and Lebron alone can not handle the Warriors In this department just yet. We are smaller and faster than the Warriors however we are thin where they play big. That said I see no issue with D to O match up the issue is we are good at stopping teams like the Hawks as is. As it is now the Cavs are underrated by fans and media. We have only had half the team ready playing bad and we still have winning record by far.

Meanwhile you got G.S gelled full health and knowing everything that it takes beating teams making stupid mistakes. If not for Jack and Lopez the freaking nets would have beat them. Do not let the media over hyper a team that is very good but not amazing not yet. The Cavs always go full force when needed and this should be known. I get it people want the feel of a intense regular season well not with a LeBron team. Play offs is what he preaches. Perfect the defense for the play offs and if that means mistakes here and there so be it.

The only time it will matter what the Warriors are doing is in the finals.

Media can overhype or underhype Golden state all they want.

Cavs have one goal right now recordwise and thats to stay ahead of Miami, Chicago, Washington or any other team that takes a run at the best record in the east.
Cavs primary goal will be healthy when the playoff time arrives
if for some reason the cavs dont end with the best record in the east,even then this team has shown they can advance without homecourt advantage.

13 down 69 to go.

I was surprised how bad the Hawks looked. Losing Damare was a big deal, and Shefalosha can't really fill that role. Schroeder tore it up last year and didn't do much this game. also, Horford and Millsap just didn't have much of an impact, and Love was killing them inside. I was more impressed with the Bucks and Knicks than these guys.

Cry baby ass bitches man. Glad we tapped that ass.
