Anyone see the Cavs losing game 3? I feel like they come out coasting and get lit up.

Don't think ATL could light up is up if we spotted them 10...I expect them to give us a game and they could possibly pull off a close W... I wouldn't be shocked if we won this in 5

Certianly could shoot worse. Actually more concerned about game 4. I know that is backwards to most sweeps we have seen, however , the Cavs have that less than 36 hours between games 3 and 4. I could see game 4 being an epic crap fest from both teams . I'm sure ABC/ESPN will love that...
 
I don't see any reason to stop jacking threes.

Shoot the hell out of them. Not only does it work, it saves energy.
 
Just off the odds, I think the Cavs cool off considerably in Game 3 and it will be more of a grind out game. If the shots aren't falling, hopefully the Cavs continue to drive to the hoop and move the ball and don't resort to Kyrie/Bron ISO. I hope Kev finds his touch around the basket next game, that could really help us.

Only if they are going in. But if Hawks have any sort of rationality, they would focus heavily next game on guarding the three point line. So they shouldn't even be close to being as open. We should focus on taking it to the hoop.

I'd imagine specifically, JR is the one guy they will really key in on. Kyrie too, but they probably don't care if LeBron or Love shoot a bunch.

Imagine how demoralizing it would be to start game 3 off though by hitting a bunch of threes. I bet that would really shake them.

Just got home from the game. What an awesome game, so much fun to be at especially since there was not much anxiety but still suspense with the record breaking. Also I got a fathead of Richard Jefferson, so that was pretty sweet.

"not much anxiety but still suspense" is the best of all possible emotions.
 
Not going to be happy if this game isn't replayed over here tonight...........
 
What the fuck did I just watch? Holy shit, all those 3s were in the flow of the game until the end.

25 3s to set an NBA record for all time makes in a single game (regular season or postseason). I didn't expect that but I knew we were in for a treat when JR was hitting impossible shots. They fucking shot 56% from beyond the arc, that shit is nasty.

To not only do that but 2nd game single digit TOs with only 8 after having like 3 in the opening minutes and their defense held serve and no Hawk had 20 points.

That game was fun. Secretly the Warriors are not pleased. Fuck them. Cleveland is the land of basketball bitches.

Indeed. The contested threes were mostly J.R.'s. He makes those anyway. The rest came via transition/spot-ups and screens.

The majority of them were also good looks and taken by our highest percentage shooters. This was no typical chuck fest by lucky non-shooters. We probably won't shoot this efficiently again but it's nice to know this is what happens when they're all clicking at once.
 
Comment from Jim Chones during the garbage time of last night :
" Hinrich was buried so deep on the Hawks bench that he
needed a flashlight to find the court."
 
My Favorite (Hard to pick just one) moment was the Pipe's Up Fake...Behind the Back into Draining the 3 AND THEN going all "Skip to My LUE"!
