Round 3, Game 1 | Cavs @ Atlanta | May 20th, 2015 | 8:30pm EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Not getting JR another shot when he is so hot is why I think Lebron has a serious problem. Totally over playing him in the paint. He could have kicked one of those to JR

And its not like its a one time thing. It happened in game 4 and game 5 against the Bulls.

Windhorst or somebody needs to bring this to LeBron and Blatt's attention.

@Chris Parker please save us!

Yes I'm sure no one, in his 12 year career, has ever pointed out to LeBron that isolation to end the games over and over probably isn't the best bet.
 
I think the bright side is that we won by 8 with Kyrie, Shump, and Delly only putting up 12 points. That won't happen again most likely.
 
Lebron called LeIso offensive nonsense. And he'll probably still do it on Friday.
 
TNT with their usual schtick... Hawks aren't doing certain things, Cavs hit a bunch of impossible/tough shots, Hawks somehow started missing stuff. Never a mention of the toughness and D this team can bring and go on big runs. They've done this all year since the infusion of talent.

How about the adjustment we made defensively? Great scheme. The guards felt non existent in the 1nd half.

Yeah what exactly did we do? In he first quarter I thought Teague + Schroeder were going to carve us up all game. I know Delly did a lot better job with them than Kyrie, but what other adjustments did we make?
 
First year of this team together, Love out for the season, Kyrie still not 100%, and we go win game 1 on the road.

Yes I started to sweat a bit in the final 6 minutes but I had zero doubt we'd win and I had zero concern about the Hawks retaking a lead.

-I don't care about how it looks or projects against GS
-I don't care about people's preference for what the offense should look like in the 4th qtr once a lead has been established.

All that matters is winning 4 games and getting to the next round. Win 1 is out of the way, now they can watch the tape, try to fix some things defensively, and come out greedy and determined to win game 2. I don't think this Hawks team can take us to a game 7, with our without Carroll.

Regarding LeIso - i have a feeling he wanted to improve his stats and that's why he did it, and if so, ffs Lebron, you almost cost us the game.

Anyway -


that's nice.
 
The best news is that we should be prepared for Teague next game. We guarded Korver well, he only got free once or twice (and made us pay both times). TT and Moz played as good of D as I could have asked for. The big difference was Teague getting anything he wanted. We stop that, and it's easy street for us.

And with Carroll out, who the F is going to guard LeBron? And if they try to double LeBron, you know JR is going to give them that pipe, all day long.

Any official update on Kyrie?

It looked like something new (quad) unfortunately.

I suppose best case is he was cramping?
 
Was about to have flashbacks to us collapsing in the 4th quarter to Orlando every game in 2009 in the ECF.
 
If they had Sefolosha it would have been a MUCH different game! ~Chris Webber
