Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Atlanta missed a lot of open 3s this game. If they had hit them at the same rate as some of the teams did during our losing streak, I don't think we would have won. Thank you Trey!

I don't know why we give up so many open ones. It was ridiculous what we let Brook Lopez do to us the other night.

I have tried to focus on their defense when teams have open looks for threes and I keep seeing is the team sagging into the middle! Riddle me this Batman!!! WHY???? Nobody is dominating us in the middle! And we constantly double team people when there is no need to do so!!! Is this by design??
 
Infuriating TOs tonight.

38 and 39 minutes for Garland and Mitchell respectively. Use Neto. This can not continue. Players are injured...dig deeper. It's not even an excuse because it happens even when we are healthy.

Suboptimal lineup combinations and inability to take advantage of Trae Young. There is no way he should be resting on Okoro/Stevens all night.

I thought that going with Garland,Mitchell,Cedi,Stevens,Allen/Mobley should have been played more because of the Hawks scheme. That Lamar,Okoro lineup should not be ever a thing.

Would like to see Diakite instead of so many Okoro minutes.

Love's indivdiual defense really kills our overall defense.

Cavs with an elite shooter at the 3 will murder teams. So until they get that player, Dean Wade is the guy when healthy.

Garland and Mitchell can be unstoppable.

Happy they got the win, but a long way to go coaching wise. Thought it was not a good coaching exhibition by JBB and I believe the Cavs are just a terrible matchup for the Hawks. WE can exploit them, much much better. We need to set up easier shots, especially against a Trae Young team.

It's unbelievable to me how hyper-critical and nitpicky people are after what was probably the Cavs' 3rd best game of the season (after the two Boston games). The team looked GREAT last night, particularly in light of it being the back end of back-to-back games. For every bitch about, for example the turnovers, I can counter with "the quality and execution of shot attempts was phenomenal."

On balance, there's nothing to complain about last night's play. Bupkis.

This board is insufferable after a loss. Now after wins as well

Cavs are just a talented group. They should win.

I will continue to be critical of the coach regardless of Wins and Losses. He will be the one to lose them a crucial series with his coaching.

Nothing that I said was incorrect. We can't let Young rest on players. It's malpractice. Short rotations and heavy minutes will hinder this group.

Cavs are good. They can be amazing.

I know I need to enjoy the game a bit more. I'm aware of it, but I just can't let some of the things slide, in my mind. I should be better at enjoying the ride regardless.

Still, can't wait to find a great coach to lead this group.

Its always the same story in any sports forum. There is that large group of fans that always want to fire the head of their team. Went to Hawks forum to read what they thought of this game and the majority of the posters just spoke about their coach sucking.
 
Would be interesting to see a small ball lineup for a hot minute, with two of the three guards ( DG, DM, Vert) and Cedi Lamar and Evan( ok he is seven foot but is as agile as a cat) ..
 
Hawks have to be excited about the play of AJ Griffin last nite whom many on here wanted no part of in the draft. Add Griffin to Young and Murray and the Hawks will be a force for years
