Horford and Marvin are both out. This will probably be over at halftime.

That pass by Z to LeBron for the layup was amazing. Pachulia actually gives the Hawks a little better chance at defending the Cavs with some height. AV though looks very good early.

Hubie Brown is the best announcer in the business. I have to agree with him, that was an offensive foul on LeBron. Instead Josh Smith has to sit on the bench with 2 fouls early. Tough break for ATL.

I wish we'd make some of these outside shots. Gibson wide open and misses

Sick. LeBron. Sick man. Punctuation on the first quarter. Nice defense, the offense still isn't there yet in this series.

I really didn't believe you, but it is looking that way right now. I honestly do think Pachulia matches up pretty well with Z. You got screwed over when Smith got the foul on what was an obvious LeBron charge. Still right now LeBron is out and our second unit is pushing the lead bigger. It's still far from over though.

Our team is so fun to watch. That was funny as heck seeing our bench reaction to Mo winning a jump ball. Wow Josh Smith picks up his third foul.

I'd like to apologize for my Hawks complete lack of effort tonight. I knew this game was over 2 minutes into the game by our lack of effort and intensity. We should have just forfeit the game. Hopefully your next opponent will actually try to win next round. We might not crack 70 tonight.

Good luck in the finals.

LeBron.

Lolz

I bet LeBron can beat me in hand-wrestling with one finger.

I know you're foreign and all.... but what the hell is hand-wrestling?

This looks just like that game in Cleveland where the Cavs were up by like 35 points and the Hawks killed our reserves to make us put our starters back in the game late. Made that game look closer than it was, something like a 9 point win. Hopefully we don't give them a reason to think they can win going into game 3.

Delonte in the lockeroom, poked in the eye. Please god not less this be serious.

Delonte's injury is really putting a damper on what should be an all out celebration.

No doubt man. This game is over. Has anyone heard an update on Delonte yet?

Very nice win.
Playing that entire 4th quarter without a PG was not pretty but that is a small nitpick. The Cavs really should add another ballhandler this offseason because Boobie is not a PG.

Hope Delonte is ok. My guess is they are just being cautious after the Amare situation.

I think Delonte will be okay.. They said it was just a precaution thing, and coach said he'll get a follow look tomorrow or something along those lines..

Nonetheless, six straight scrimmages..

I know the Hawks are down a couple guys, but honestly, I have zero idea what they're trying to do on the offensive end of the floor ? They obviously have no interior game, but even their perimeter game is off.. I've yet to see one single quality offensive set within the halfcourt..

Kinda reminds me of us a few years ago, minus the whole 'bron thing though..

should be 14-0 before losing game 3 of the finals
