7:30

Cavs lineup

Dellavedova
Smith
James
Love
Mozgov

Teague is questionable, I suppose Bazemore is still out
No Mo Williams. so Browns safety will start.

Mozgov is out with a deltoid strain.

We're rushing our outside shot and not giving ourselves a chance to drive on the close out. Not enough stuff going to the basket.

Cold outside, cold inside. Early in the 2nd quarter and Schroder has 3 fouls, although he gets whistled for his 3rd foul as Dellevadova runs him over in the post.

LOL Refs toss coach Bud on one tech after a horrendous no call, in a game where they've been horrible. I expect nothing less from Tony Brothers and crew.

We are playing so, so soft. There's only a couple guys out there who are playing tough and aggressive - Thabo, Holliday. Everyone else looks content to just lose to the Cavs.

Also I completely forgot how grating Richard Jefferson's voice is

This has gotten out of hand. Any attempt at a comeback in that 2nd quarter was thwarted by the refs, and now they've just given up. This game can't end fast enough.

Hawks can't step up.

4 L's in 5 games now. With a tough stretch now coming up, this is where those absolutely putrid losses to teams we should be beating will really come back to bite. As much as I'd like to think that we'll have a similar run of success as last year, this year's team does not look as good as last year's.

Hi, guys!

I saw in the box score Schroder was your starting PG, why not Teague?

Teague is still not 100% and is recovering from an injury.

Hi guys, how much longer is Bazemore expected to be out?
Any chance THjr gets a chance during his absence?

I cant help but laugh at Tristan Thompson. Unlike a true rebound hawk like Drummond, when he thinks a shot is going up he just two hand shoves his man in the back. If anyone dvr'd the game, go back and just watch him. What's even funnier is when his man tries to reengage to get position the refs will call a foul on them. I felt for milsap last night.

I noticed that too. Bob and Nique also called it that he's the king of over and backs. But hey, when you have Lebron on your team you get to get away with stuff like that.

Baze should be back soon. He shot around before the game. I wouldn't expect to see much of THJ this year. It takes a while to learn and master Bud's system.

IMO neither of these is really true about Tristan. He's definitely a hustle rebounder he's only 6'9" but I don't see him pushing off to any significant amount. He does use his hands locating opposing rebounders and he's physical but I really don't see him going over the back all that much. There are for move egregious offenders in this respect. He just outworks most other rebounders.

Rip2137 · Post #19 » by **Rip2137** » Sun Nov 22, 2015 8:27 pm

Again...just watch him. It's pretty boring to do but just watch him. He does more than push off. He literally shoves his man just before the shot is taken. It's actually really smart as the refs are watching the ball, and when the shot doesn't go up, he gets caught just shoving a guy(I think he got caught once last night).

Dude works hard, no doubt, bit there is a reason he happens to be in position for offensive rebounds all the time. But honestly, I haven't seen another rebounder shove off before the shot is even going up.

As for the over the back thing, he does do that hold the shoulder with the off hand thing while jumping but everyone does that.

He fights for position which is allowed, I just don't think he goes around pushing folks out of the way. But there is always hand fighting etc any time going for the ball.
