Game 69: Cavs vs Hawks - Sat, Mar 21, 1pm

[prekazi]

Great defense by Mario West. Bron is making some boneheaded turnovers.

edit: LOL the refs gave the ball to us.

[LoveThemCavs]

It was a great play by Mario West. He did knock the ball out of bounds though, so it is the right call.

Solid first half by the Cavs. They did get a little lazy once it got up to a 20 point advantage. As you can tell by the 8 turnovers. Didn't shoot well from three either, but did most of the damage in the paint. The defense was outstanding.

[oikosnomos]

I thought the Hawks were better than this, I didn't know there win streak was only at home though...I still like them as a team, but they are still flawed.

[LoveThemCavs]

Man another tech for the Hawks. They made a run got it to 13, then get 3 techs. Just dumb by them. Goodnight Woodson.

[prekazi]

Defense is down, but we're still up by 16. Let's rest Lebron for a couple of minutes.

[prekazi]

Mo is ballin'!!!

[prekazi]

LeBron is trying really hard to lower his FG%.

[LoveThemCavs]

Nice to see Delonte finally make a 3. Since he came back from the wrist injury, he's shot poorly from out there. He had missed his last 13 attempts.

[prekazi]

LOL, that was one of the easiest games of the season but the final score is only 102-96!

[LoveThemCavs]

Final score is awful misleading thanks to coach Brown pulling the starters a little too early. Oh well, another win. Mo and Z were great today. LeBron was solid, not great with 22-7-5. The bench(especially Joe and Boobie) were solid too. Go Cavs.

[NEXTSELECTION]

Lmao was on the Cavs to cover -8 .

Your bench is FABULOUS.

[TheOUTLAW]

I'm pretty sure that the final score was not indicative of the game

LMAO at calling the Cavs bench a joke when they are already down Wallace and Szczerbiak. Which means that the bench gets weaker. But that's okay take your loss and skedaddle.

[Lebron45]

Stop giving mercy to the opponents

[Rise Against]

Yep. The final score is very misleading.. A win is a win though. 13 more games until LeBron gets his first MVP award.

[TheOUTLAW]

I love how you have some Atlanta fans claiming this as some type of moral victory. Fact is this game wasn't close except in the final score. It was pretty much dominated by the Cavs. Who cares what the final score was as long as we had more.

[Benedict_Boozer]

Good win for CLE. We have 2 cupcake games coming up against NJ without Devin Harris.

We should be able to get both of those games and the Minn game to be at 59-13 (that's crazy!) going into 2 relatively tough games against DAL/DET to end the month.

We win out the month I like our chances to finish ahead of LA.

[witnessmoboobie]

This was another solid win and definitely not as close the end score. But as everyone said, a win is a win. I was happy to see Big Z get his 10,000-congrats. I wasn't able to see the whole game, mostly I was watching gamecast- I saw that Pavs picked up 4 fouls in short minutes again? Did he get no respect or were they all legit?
I really like our chances to lock up the number 1 record over LA. If we can beat Den and Det like Benedict said we will have a great shot. I am getting to that point where it is hard to focus on the regular season and can't wait for the playoffs.
After today I am leaning towards playing the Hawks in the 2nd round, but if Wade is hurt for a while then I will pick the Heat.

[L&H_05]

Even though I was ripped for saying it earlier in the year, I maintain that we have no business losing to the Hawks...

[Gordon Bombay]

did what was needed and that was take care of business...now do it again tonight in jersey
