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

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I find it "squeeze my ball sack" hilarious that the media continues to neglect the fact that Kevin Love isn't playing and that Kyrie Irving is barely playing on one leg.

They have their pathetic narrative to peddle like so many mindless talking heads. Everything they say will be irrelevant when LeBron hoists that trophy over his head; except for the part where they admit how stupid they are and how much heart it took to gut through such grievous injuries.
 
All, disagree with this ALLLLLL you want, but Reggie Miller was a great add for this round. Webber is irrelevant. Miller called that Millsap defensive breakdown about 20 minutes before the dunk happened. Not always my favorite, but at least strings together coherent shit.

i posted this earlier but, well, first of all, millsap did pretty damn good on lebron

and second, miller "called it" at first by saying "millsap what are you doing out there, lebron is smiling because you are guarding him out there"

then after three great defensive plays by millsap, miller says "three great defensive plays by millsap"

then after the dunk miller went back to "millsap, see, i told you so, don't guard him out there"

so uh...pretty hard to give him credit for that
 
FUUUUUCK you Pat

Jesus. Grown men crying about officiating when there clearly wasn't anything that would suggest a strong bias. The Hawks lost by every measure. Had they hit more than four threes then perhaps they would have won. Delusional asses.

Grow up, you fucking crybabies.
 
What a gritty win. The rhing this game showed me was, how gritty this team is. I always like to reverse jinx the team, so I made a bet that ATL wins the series, and before that third quarter, I was worried I was right. Now, ATL is finished. I know it's one game, but with them missing a key player, they don't have a chanve imo.
 
LeISO moratorium until the last minute of play, if the Cavs have a big lead like they did last night. Cavs were lucky they didn't blow it.
 
It remains to be seen if LeBron will actually do anything about it, though. He's been playing that way the entire playoffs.

It seems like he had been trying to get it going, but it's not working.
 
At 87-74, bron make a 2. Teague elbows Delly in the face. Anyone caught that? He should get a flagrant 2 for it.

And we've been winning the entire playoffs. I was just as horrified watching the last 10 minutes of the 4th quarter as anyone. But we were only in the game because of him. Remember, with Lebron on the bench our lead went from 18 points down to 11 points in less than a minute and a half of game time, and then when Lebron came in with the lead at 11 he quickly stabilized the situation by scoring 6 straight points. It was only after that, and after they starting playing him weird with Millsap, that he seemed to start making bad choices and running out of steam.

The reason it's hard for him to get away from LeIso is that frequently the team *does* need him to take over. We saw multiple examples in that game of him successfully taking over for a period. He just has to understand when to get away from it.
