We shouldn't have had to, but did you see all the crap calls that went the Hawks way? They shouldn't even have been in the lead of that game.


Give me a break. The Hawks had 21 fouls called against them, the Cavs had 23 fouls called against them. That game was decided by the refs giving Lebron a call for throwing himself into a Hawks player. You don't make that call with 1 second to go. Terrible, shameful ending to the game.

Why do I feel like we lost? Horrible win, horrible game by LeBron. I think they'll celebrate this win with a party in Miami and we'll lose by 30 tomorrow.

I'm not saying you're flat out wrong(depending on what plays you think were bad)but are you surprised that the Hawks shot more free throws considering the Cavs shot twice as many 3 pointers?

Told you guys the last time we lost there we had no business losing to them.... :lol:

That was actually easy to defend down the stretch... They run one play, and one play only.. Joe Johnson on the left side of the floor... They may alter it a bit with a screen, but they pretty much just try to isolate him...

And then the Hawks go to a zone on defense... We frown on teams that have to play zone...

Surprised we actually won that one. Varejao played a heck of a game. Still worried about tomorrow in Miami.

The Cavs have played very well on the 2nd night of back to backs...bodes well tomorrow night in Miami. They need to make up for that game they lost on LeBron's birthday.

I know this is biased because I am sure I would feel the same way if I was in Atlanta, but why should a game be called any different because there is 10 minutes left vs 2 seconds left? A foul should be a foul and a no-call should be a no-call no matter the circumstances.

All in all the Cavs played like crap, but the Hawks shouldn't have let them back in the game. They had many chances to shut the door. They lost the game because they couldn't get a rebound that led to the Mo Williams game-tying 3 (talk about a big time shot!).

agreed...if you dont want lebron to get in the paint where the possibilty of a foul exists, then double him and make someone else on the team beat you. atlanta didnt do that and they got a foul called on them

atl choked plain and simple...blaming the refs is cop-out

I actually retract my quote of not like winning this game due to Atlanta trying to cheat, again, by assigning fouls to the wrong people. Im actually shocked the PD or ESPN did not report on this.
