lol that Deng miss sums up the year.

Wow Deng nice layup. Stellar performance.

Well that was a frustrating season

 

[AuxiliaryPie]

If i have to pick between kyrie and dion.. dion all day

 

[wuck]

the worst part is that NYK might lose to WSH.... This could have been our chance.

i don't know. i think the worst part is giving up 117 points in a game they hoped to win against a team that averages 101.

 

[melecoaze]

now that this shit is over, go hawks

knicks can go fuck themselves

 

[OptimusPrime]

which imo, creates problems on the offensive end with Kyrie/Dion. They become more selfish and try to do to much. TT,Hawes just killed it tonight.

Eh. The Hawks were up on the Cavs on the perimeter all night, which pretty much negates Mike's "motion" offense. We needed guys to make plays off the dribble. This is what we need both of those guys for. We didn't need both of them against Orlando. Swinging the ball was enough to get guys open shots. We got pretty much nothing offensively from anyone except Waiters and Hawes and a little from Irving. Deng, Jack, Delly, Thompson were miserable. No one really played well and we still scored 98 points because we had guys that can play "selfish" when it is necessary. The offense wasn't the disappointment this evening. The defense was pitiful.

And allowing them to shoot fucking 59% !!!!

 

[Ohio]

I nearly guessed the actual score

 

[jpow6636]

For as many negatives Kyrie has against him Dion has many as well except Kyrie is a two time all star.

Kyrie becomes stronger and accepts like many young PGs that the only way they win is to get your teammates involved and this isn't even a conversation. Both are very likely to happen or at least I hope

If i have to pick between kyrie and dion.. dion all day

 

[Toph]

We are too excited for this game. This has Cleveland letdown written all over it.

Hawks 115
Cavs 97

:hide:

This is your fucking fault Rob.

Luol Deng has as many points on fewer shots than Irving. And he was bad.

Don't sugarcoat it. Irving wilted in the moment.

 

[CavsFanJapan]

Well, now that everything seems back to normal; meet you all in the rant thread! LOL!!

 

[killerkev369]

This is all Brian Windhorst's fault.

This two time allstar thing would mean something to me if it were backed up by some wins. But understand this, if this team is bad again next year, he won't be on the all-star team no matter what his numbers.

He shouldn't have been on it this year. Kyle Lowry was better all season.

Don't forget Rob!
