Round 2, Game 1 | Cavaliers vs Hawks | May 5, 2009 TNT 8:00 PM

[Typhoon]

Good game! Saw every second of it. Too bad i couldnt be on the forum but oh well.

Various Hawks forums

People have to realize we are going up against a really good...possibly great team.

Brian Sipe was NFL MVP in 1980? That seems absurd.

What's scary to me is that the Hawks haven't played that bad but they are still getting smoked.

every game at the Q will be just like this one

major facepalm tonight gents'

Well, one sad game in the book. The big key will be if the Hawks can bounce back to play respectable on Thursday or if Cleveland has intimidated them with the first blow.

Loved how the bench increased the lead each time they were responsible for just maintaining it.

Joe (+20 plus/minus despite missing all his shots)
Ben (activity, forced turnovers, looks healthy, etc.)
Wally (pure shot, took the hard foul, hair still in place)
Sasha (smart drives against a team with no interior defense)

+ more (even in garbage time)

Man it's been so long since we played I almost forgot how many more wins to go :chuckles:

 

[NarlCavs]

Maybe the best thing about tonight is that the Cavs weren't at their best and still won by 27 points. We have to love that.

Bad night from Z and Varejao and Smith weren't at their best either. That will not be the case most other nights.
LeBron was LeBron. Another huge performance. Delonte with a great total floor game tonight. Did a solid job defensively on Johnson.

Cavs continue to make it a halfcourt game and control Johnson while not allowing Bibby or Smith to go off too much than this series will over quickly.

Cavs continue to be the best team in the playoffs by far.

 

[Man Called X]

Mike Brown is giving Delonte insane amounts of love during the post game press conference. Like, insane amounts of love. Talking about calling Lebron only plays for Delonte and just. Yeah, it sounded like a mancrush. Oh wait, i've got that covered.

Glen has a monopoly on the Cavs fan industry :chuckles:

Happy Cow.

Bibby...non factor

Johnson...non factor

Josh Smith...non factor

Total second half domination. Why does Flip Murray remind me of Ricky Davis? Could it be the "me first" attitude and bad shot selection?

Moo

 

[Pioneer10]

Total mismatch with Horford and Williams both hurt. Lebron is so much better then anybody else that the Hawks need to take big advantage everywhere else. Healthy they have the talent do it for maybe a few games but if they're not this will be a sweep.

OMG> FSN has a twitter!

I wonder what a Lakers vs Clippers series would be like.

not sure what game you were watching but bibby and smith were HUGE factors in this game. the game was only close in the first half because of them. hell even in the second half bibby was doing pretty well. those two played their butts off the rest of the team.. not so much.

this should really go to prove to everyone how much deeper the cavs are than pretty much every other team in the league.
