Game Thread | Game #77 | Cavs @ Hawks | March 28, 2023

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
The amount of people bitching about rest and guys playing in here is astounding.

The Cavs are a star and a bunch of postseason nobodies all young in their career. They haven’t proven shit and rest should be the furthest thing from their mind. For crying out loud they’ll have almost a full week between the season ending and the first postseason game.

This isn’t the 2018 LeBron squad. Evan Mobley can’t even legally drink yet. I promise he can afford to play some minutes at the 5.

They came up short on the road down two starters and playing against the officials. Tonight isn’t one I’m going to be upset about.

Please continue to chow on that Crow, everyone who wanted Murray instead of Mitchell and/or picked the Hawks to be one of the better teams in the East. They’re bad and most of their team isn’t getting younger.

Trae Young is the emptiest stats guy since Corey Maggette was dropping 20 a game. Even the magnificent Quinn Snyder has them continuing to look like the definition of mediocre.

Cavs in 6.

"They called a foul that wasn't a foul. That matters. The defensive player should be covered and have a spot to land, just like offensive player. When you kick your feet forward, that's not your natural drift in a shot......There's a (another) play where a guy of theirs hit a three with his foot out of bounds. They didn't call that. Our defense was good enough. It's just tough to overcomes those kind of ca..mistakes"

Made pretty sure to change mid syllable from what was going to be "calls" to "mistakes"

Will get a fine for that for sure.

Good. He’s standing up for his team.

Should've been a flagrant on Murray for endangering Mobley.

Oh, I don’t know. I mean, when I played ball, I was always coached to jump straight up when shooting, and then land with my feet three feet in front of me.

That was a three point shot. Objective evidence that the shooter angled his legs well forward. F*ck Secaucus.

I listened on the radio. Chone said he jumped 5 feet into Mobley. That photo is at least 3 feet inside the arc. Hard to believe both the call and the challenge were not overturned.

Literally lands a full foot or more INSIDE the 3P line after taking the shot BEHIND the 3P and with his body angled out unnaturally as well.

I normally only complain about the refs incompetence and bias, but when you couple this play with the granting of the TO on the called foul we made on Capela(saving them from Capela shooting FTs and us having possession with 9 seconds left) and reconcile it was the fact the the spread was Hawks +2.....it really does make you wonder.
 
After reading comments I’m glad I barely paid attention looks like the refs fucked is again huh fuck the nba
 
I didn’t think the refs were trash for most of the game.

But that challenge was clearly the right move and clearly the call should have been reversed. “Not clear and convincing evidence.” WTF??? This is not baseball. The only time that line should be used is if you can’t tell who touched the ball last as it went out of bounds. This was a shot attempt and they were to judge if the shooting motion was natural or not (clearly it wasn’t). They could SEE EVERYTHING. What a load of shit.
