Go Hawks and Dubs!

Go Hawks! Shoot lights out KK.

Let's see how much better Cleveland is defensively. Can they deal with Atlanta's non-stop ball and player movement? Can Atlanta consistently knock down shots? And what will Kyrie bring?

Tristan **** Thompson

Korver, the most misused player under Thibs tenure.

Love the way the Hawks play.

Great hustle by Shumpert. He's been huge this postseason at both ends.

Cavs are gonna have to go smaller against Atlanta. I don't think Thompson and Mosgov will be able to handle all this Atlanta movement.

If they play their game they got this series..Dont look at the bulls series, we were horrible and would of lost to many other playoff teams too.

Weak call on Horford, something they could call every possession of every game. Costly. Instead of a 10 pt ATL lead, it's a 5 point lead

Atlanta looks so much quicker and active than the Bulls.

And they aren't even some super athletic team.

We are dinosaurs.

I love Atlanta. They are not suckers like Bulls are. I hate our *** veteran team. I just hate it. Seeing this game. I DONT WANT THIBS BACK AT ANY COST!!

Teague!

They have five guys who can all run and shoot. When you have that, you're going to score some points.

Like you said, we're dinosaurs. We're one of the most un-athletic teams in the NBA and we only have a couple of real shooters.

Hoiberg, Thibs, or whoever is coaching next season is going to have their work cut out for them unless major changes are made.

Schroder and Teague. Wow. Talk about speed. They're carving Cleveland up.

TWO ON LEBRON!!

They look quicker and active because the ball doesn't stop. They don't have anyone holding the ball for isolation scores like Rose & Butler do.

They don't have a big hanging around the 3 point line, holding the ball for 3-5 seconds whilst trying to thread a pass through into a baseline cutting wing.

They actually care about spacing which allows their weak ball handles like Korver & Carroll to make some moves.

Philosophically, their offense is flat out better.

Hawks are so much better than the Bulls. Damn shame.

I can't wait until we get rid of that play[er]. I can't stand when teams hold the ball. This isn't the 90's anymore. Unless you have prime Duncan or Shaq, you're not getting much done.

As long as LeBron loses I can live with the shame.
