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

[AMC]

I live in DC, and the "fans" here are a joke.

I go to school in Indiana. The sports fans here are either the biggest homers on the planet, or front-runners. Andrew Luck and Paul George are demigods here.

I can't stand it.

Also, the "Indy Eleven" is the least creative name for a soccer team...ever.

Lots of people picking the Cavs to win this series. Makes me nervous... would much rather the Cavs still be underdogs.

Split on the road, defend your home court, and finish this off in six games. Let's go Cavs!

I hate being favored as well....

At least we'll be the underdogs again WHEN we go to the finals!

We don't have to listen to ESPN announcers this series!!!!

Do we have to listen to Hubie pimp the Hawks?

No, we get to listen to Chris Webber stammer on an repeat himself! Reggie Miller's horrid voice and UCLA love, and Marv Albert who isn't even watching the game, but shopping for panties in his own mind.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

In the modern format that's true.

But they were in the equivalent of the conference finals way back in the day.

It's still sad either way.

Man, the Hawks were STACKED that year. STACKED, I tell you. Sweet Lou Hudson and Jumpin' Joe Caldwell both averaging over 20, 6 guys in all averaging double figures, Bellamy and Bridges both averaging over 13 rpg. It's a wonder that team didn't win multiple championships.

I also forgot that the Lakers lost 8 NBA Finals in a row (in which they participated). EIGHT. Kept getting smacked down by the Celtics, and then by the Knicks. Didn't break through until 1972, with an old Wilt serving as more of a playmaker. Baylor had already moved on...

Oh, for the love of Christ...

Yeah, I'll still have this entire series on mute. Webber and Miller are hot garbage. I refuse to listen to Webber talk about how there's no Pat Riley or D-Wade to help LeBron out 5 times a quarter.

Me too. My kid is growing up a Nationals fan.

We should get together a DC watch party for one of these games.

Fact: Kyle Korver is 35/100 from three point range this postseason.

So, this means he will probably catch fire against us this series.

 

[ThirdWorld]

Kyrie primary defends Korver when switch happens it might be JR or Shump on him

MAKE IT HAPPEN BLATT

 

[Plaxicofan7]

Boy I'm anxious, Game day!!!

Thankfully, that's not how statistics work. Although this would mean Lebron would be going 100% from 3 for this series, lol...
