'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.
31. I understand how stupid this is going to sound, but I’m even less convinced after tonight that the Hawks can beat the Cavs four times in a playoff series. The Cavs were awful early in the game, looking lethargic and disinterested in falling behind 36-19 after the first quarter. They didn’t adjust well to the Hawks’ blitzing defensive schemes and they were playing their fourth game in six nights while the Hawks were home resting the last two days. And yet the Cavs still had the lead (albeit briefly) in the third quarter.
Only because of free throws. Put this in perspective..he's taken over 32 fga attempts in the last 4 games each and that doesnt even count the shot attempts that end up as free throw attempts. So just imagine a POINT GAURD taking 40+ shots a game while failing to even be "hot" in any of them. He has failed to even hit 50 points with 40 attempts. The only impressive stats he has been accumulating are his rebounds.Why do people still use FG%? Look at his TS percentage each of those games. He's been efficient.
