Cavs are favored to win by 11 points.
Let's hope for a big underdog win tonight.

3pt defense must be on point tonight. Last I heard Millsap wasn't going to play tonight.

Other than Thabo there's probably nothing wrong with anyone injury wise.
Following this game, we play Cleveland again at home Sunday, then Charlotte Tuesday and Indiana Wednesday making up a string of 3 crucial games in 4 days.
It was announced that Millsap wasn't going to play tonight anyway because it's a back to back and he's fresh off injury. Even fully healthy we were probably going to lose in Cleveland, even more so with Millsap out. I support the decision to just shut the regulars down and give the young guys some extra minutes.

Since everyone is out... Hawks should feed Dwight all game long to see how Cleveland plays him. Dwight is the one player they haven't really had an answer for and it should help make up for his lack of defense agains't CLE stretch bigs.

No Howard either so far.

One half in and we're winning... Everyone out there is running Budenholzer's system like an expert, and we're playing the same free flowing type ball we saw in 2014-15, albeit with far less talent tonight.
We're still gonna take an L, but man this is so refreshing to see.

What happened to the reserves earlier when we needed a jolt?

Amazing win.
HUGE underdog win so congrats if anybody took the Hawks straight up.
Like Mike D said post game, "Just let it fly" as far as the pregame talk before his teammates stepped on the court.
Proud moment.

I'm glad Bud gave up on the Baze starter experiment and finally started a rookie (Prince).
Now if he could move Dwight to the bench this team would have won more games.
