Because JR saw his last attempted circus shot fall behind the backboard and thought “Okay, that was too ridiculous even for me...”

There is NO too ridiculous a shot for JR...if he is on the court...he is open, so fire away

Atlanta needs to let Horford and Teague go, and then roll with Schroder/Millsap.

Uh, that's cutting their core in half. I agree they'll probably let Teague seek employment elsewhere but any suggestions on how they'll replace Horford's production?

Not that it matters, he gone. Just not sure how Atlanta keeps from falling into the lottery next year with their holes and some good young teams coming up in the East.

The only player with over 20 points for Atlanta was their backup point guard. That says a lot about how offensively stagnant they get when adversity hits. You aren't winning a must win game with your backup point guard being your leading scorer.

I will admit, too close for comfort. But I kinda expected some sorta of response from Atlanta but I also expected a bigger counter response by Cleveland that never came. Hey not all games are going to be blowouts, and at this time of year a win is a win.

To me the game ball should go to Love. He started off slow but finished with 27 points and 13 boards. He hit timely shot after timely shot and hustled on defense.

Now go get some rest, let this other conference series go the distance and you get your mind and body right.


Can someone humor my OCD? I am serious. I am about to ask this fully aware it makes me sound crazy. I didn't watch the game live, I had it recorded. I hate spoilers for anything. I saw the final possession and right when the bell rang a truck by the entrance of my subdivision decided to peel out. I don't consider that spoiling of any sort as I heard it during the bromance celebration, I mean if the car never made a noise I wouldn't have gone back to rewatch that final play. Thoughts?

Welcome to playoff basketball.

I think you'll be in for a disappointing surprise in the Finals (if the Cavs get there)

Trade Milsap and embrace the suck, Atlanta.

If I was them I'd let Horford walk, trade Teague, and try to do everything possible to get Dwight Howard to come home and play for them.

 

[Tlyons]

to get Dwight Howard

This works out for everyone but them, no?

Dwight Howard was not the problem in Houston...trust me...

 

[Lyst]

Chose the Heat because at least it would be interesting to watch. cRaptors would be like facing the Hawks again, just waiting for it to be over.

Now I'm curious.. What do you mean?

If Howard could make himself useful, a Paul Millsap and Dwight Howard front-court might be fun to watch.

One of Houston's stars showed up for the season ~20 lbs overweight and not even close to ready for the season.

One of Houston's stars went behind McHale's back to management to complain about him being too hard on him.

One of Houston's stars likes going out at night, especially nights before games.

That Houston star isn't Dwight Howard...

You want to know why their bench didn't look happy when that one Houston star hit that game winner vs GS? Most of the team doesn't like that one Houston star...Dwight Howard especially, so he played like he felt the other star did once he saw how he came into this season, for himself and the team be damned...

I like the odds of the "old" Dwight Howard showing up again outside of Houston...he's started to actually care about basketball instead of his baby mama's off the floor, etc., etc...

One of Houston's stars got intimate with Khloe Kardashian (aka Chewbacca).

I personally wouldn't mind Dwight on our team at a discount rate but obviously that will never happen.
