ECF Game 3 | Hawks @ Cavs | May 24th, 2015 | 8:30pm EST | Cavs lead 2-0

[KilgoreTrout]

It's hard to imagine how bad the Cavs would have to play and how many starters the Cavs would have to be missing, in order for the Hawks to beat the Cavs in a playoff game. Because 41% shooting and +6 turnovers, with 2 starters missing wasn't enough.

What excuses will the Hawks and the announcers have next time?

Delly threw his throat into Horford's elbow.

No question.

should spam horford's twitter with that image

"he has to learn"

lmao

 

[KilgoreTrout]

And Kendrick Perkins smacked Jae Crowder in the face and I also believe he shouldn't have been thrown out. I'm more concerned about the actual contact and not the intent. He didn't land clean and he didn't come close to hitting him hard enough to hurt him. Flagrant 1.

Rich, you are being a contrarian. Possibly for the sake thereof.

 

[Simon]

favorite part of the game was when they showed that atlanta missed 9fg's in a row and somehow erased a 10 point deficit.

so weird how that can even happen

It really was. But, they were in the bonus and kept attacking. Free throws helped them come back in the game.

I can't stress it enough -Fuck the muthafucking media, fuck those haters.

TNT needs to stop talking about the Korver play. Or they need to show the whole thing. Delly dove for a loose ball - ball that was loose, because he got fouled. There are players who go to the floor for loose balls, and ones who don't. Varejao collected floor-burns earlier in his career. Delly is his rightful err.

@Cratylus- I just clicked your pick. I felt like I deserved a reward for surviving another game.

If Korver wasnt such a pussy he would have dove after it as well instad of just bend over. I would also like to see the track record that every Hawks player said Delly has

Well for Horford its either attack Delly or admit he messed up and got ejected when his team needed him the most.
This was Atlantas best shot and they came up short. Korver was shut down before he got hurt and Carrols devastating injury hasnt even resulted in a missed game. Meanwhile the Cavs are out Irving who hasnt even suited up for 2 games and closed the game out with two of their top defenders out there with 5 fouls and Lebron has played hurt in multiple games. Atlanta's making excuses and not giving their opponents respect. Budenholzer made a big mistake in trying to mimic the spurs against lebron.

 

[Ohio]

It's funny to me that Stephen A. Smith wrote on twitter that it was wrong to eject Al Horford.
Stephen A. Smith, the same guy who defended the wife beater Ray Rice.

He's protecting his brothers, this is nothing new..

He has a track-record of fighting for loose balls, unlike those pu$$ies.

If Delly was James Jones, he would admire his heart & hustle.
