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

Honestly, Lebron had Millsap on him towards the end of the game, what do you want him to do? He should be attacking that dude, that's easy pickins. The problem was he didn't get one call and he was hacked damn near every time he attacked.

Out of 6 possessions (not 100% sure), he had one dunk, 2 missed fouls, and 1 turnover. If he gets the calls, we wouldn't bitch.

Also one thing to keep in mind guys, Bron was probably pretty gassed. If Millsap is on LBJ, Paul won't score and will be in foul trouble early. That should widen the margin of victory. Game 2 will be the same LBJ we saw in game 4 Chicago.

it's obviously not easy pickens if he went 0/3 the three times he iso'd him (without a TT pick)

i don't know if its because he was tired or because he has lost a step but he was not capable of just blowing by him

You have to think, Lebron isolated on Millsap at the top, is going to take him one on one 10 out of 10 times. It didn't really work out tonight, but I'd take Lebron in that matchup any night.

It's called being hacked with no foul calls.

 

[Snarly]

Haha that was cool.

Rachel Nichols isn't bad…

No she is not. I always found her oddly attractive.

 

[Akron OG]

Carroll is a big loss assuming he is seriously hurt. The guy has scored 20 or more in 7 playoff games so far. Really good defender.

Cavs were up 14 before balding got hurt. Fuck him he had no bearing on the game in the 2nd half.

 

[Kouki]

last three posts dismissed as lebron himself admits he was stupid

edit not the last three anymore but the three before the last two

goodnight

When I came home I clicked on this thread and thought we lost.

Dezzy apologizes for being off on the score... but Charlie died & the Cavs won so things happened "how they should"...

He'll report back game 2.

 

[Dribble]

Fuck Atlanta, Let's win the next one as well in their home court.

 

[Gus Zing]

Going to need more than 12 combined points from Irving, Shump, and Delly in most games.

Always good to win though.

I'm convinced Kyrie having a big game is the only way to stop LeBron going LeISO.

 

[bigfoot5415]

Samoa Joe and JR Smith all in one night.

 

[Akron OG]

Also Jr had an amazing game but I love how nobody on here said Jr cause a 4 point swing to let Atlanta get it eventually down to 6 with his horrible heat check.

But it all worked out cause of Jr, LeBron Tristan.

 

[Lee]

I think Bazemore will fill in nicely for Carroll. He is a bit smaller and not as good of a shooter, but he is crazy athletic and can disrupt things even more on defense imo.

 

[Gus Zing]

For Kyrie's health and LeBron's fatigue..

Go for the throat and go for the sweep. Be greedy....we need the rest before playing the west (if we're capable of doing that)

Just looked it up, we were winning 90 - 76 with 4:58 left to play when Carroll went out with the injury. I get the LeBron has an advantage vs Millsap but trying it from the 6 minute mark in was madding.

He only scored on that dunk after 6ish minutes of LeIso. I thought we were going to lose with that... I'll take the win though
