Cleveland hasn't played nearly as well as they did in any of the other 3 games . There best stretch actually came when their reserves were in to start the 2nd. We missed alot of good looks in that 4th...Flip(who has won us alot of close games)couldn't buy a basket during that stretch.

HOw fitting that Mo WIlliams hits that dagger 3. I had to talk myself outta punching a whole in the wall after those 2 offensive rebounds.
Is it to much to ask for a team that plays hard and cares? Seems so.

It is fitting that the Hawks lack of defensive rebounding costs them big at the end of the game.

The Hawks rebounding and half court offense are a joke. This is the 6th time in 11 games where we scored 85 or less and we just got pounded on the boards again.

Sad that we couldn't secure a rebound when we needed it. But the guys didn't give up and they fought hard. Would have loved to avoid the sweep but I can't fault the effort.

Good series ATL fans. You guys have some good young pieces but ran into a tough situation with all the injuries. Best of luck this offseason.

We fought hard tonight. I was proud of the guys for not quitting, especially when it looked like things were about to get ugly in the third quarter.

It's important to remember the progress we have made over the past few years. We accomplished a lot this season, certainly much more than most thought we would. Hopefully we can build on this and take the next step next season.
