LeBron looks like himself, this is the biggest reason why Cavs are doing so well. Last time it was because of JR, but Atlanta can't contain LeBron at all. Not like Chicago did. Butler legitimately made LeBron uncomfortable. LeBron probably feels a huge lift off of his shoulders

When did he ever do it alone?

You nitpicking bastard. I meant doing it alone again by going to the finals and failing against the Spurs.

Our best bet is the warriors, there is no way lebron wins it all by himself. The cavs team defence isnt that good as results show, they are facing horrible offences in hawks and bulls. warriors are different animal.

I'm really tired of this ****, watching East teams this year has been just a downright drag...

Soon.

I know I am watching this game on horrible streaming and every time he shows up on the screen he looks like one of those characters from dragon ballz.

I noticed Hawks looked like **** the past month or 2. They peaked with their win streak, and then suddenly they were losing to bad teams, their defense wasn't the same.

They look like that team and not the team that peaked.

Cavs defense though, its way better than I thought it'd be. Its good without Kyrie and Love though... they dont even need them. Hawks are looking like glorified role players together, no star to take over. This is a star league but no one wanted to listen. Spurs had stars, just not huge. Tim Duncan is a legend basically.

This series should have been Wiz vs Cavs... would have been more appealing and fun. They got lucky with Wall's injury.

How the hell is James Jones gettin steals? :lol:

They almost won with the Wall injury. I'm just gonna go ahead and blame karma. Pierce talking too much with the "series" comment

i turned this hawks cavs game on and saw cavs up 20 and immediately turned it off.

ive looked at the box score and see thompson again with 5 offensive boards. if im the coach, and my team cannot keep this guy off the board, why not just hack him? he's shot poorly from the line tonight. he doesnt have a nice stroke IMO. are the hawks trying that?

i mean the dude is a legit beast on the boards. i'm worried when we have to play them.

nah wait. we'll be alright

Like I said, Kyrie might as well just take the series off. Hawks just don't have it.

Hmm maybe. He's not that horrible at FT's. You wanna hack the 50% Ft shooters because even if they hit 1 out of 2, it still translates to an average offense. Hitting them at a 60% rate resembles an efficient offense

I remember reading a Hawks fan here on RealGM making fun of the Heat fanbase for leaving early during the Finals. Looking at the Hawks arena, already see a whole bunch of empty seats. :lol:

The best thing the Cavs did this season was getting Mazgov and Iman (+JR) mid-season. Now they can get it done defensively and still have enough shooters to maximize LeBron.

They probably need to focus on resigning TT more than anything else this off-season.

No one is talking about how Love makes them "so much better" anymore :lol:

DefenseWins man. ;-)

not that I think they'll win they'll probably fall short in the finals.

Where's the user that said "the hawks are just the better team" 5 minutes into game 1? :lol:

Post #959 » by **DefenseWins** » Sat May 23, 2015 2:51 am

I don't know how to feel

I love that Atlanta is being exposed... but I hate its in the freakin ECF against the Cavs

I remember some joker on GB saying how Atlanta was built for the playoffs. I remember writing long paragraphs politely saying NO. The dude who wrote it also took shots at the Heat too... thats why I'm angry at them. They crowned themselves before doing anything. And the whole media and NBA sucking up to them... getting the all-stars, their whole starting unit player of the month, really?
