Why does LeBron always shoot like Steph Curry against us? Dude can't even hit the rim on most of his 3 attempts vs anyone else.

While we haven't done ourselves any favors, the refs have been horrid in the 3rd quarter.

OT, but the Hornets lead 63-41 at halftime in Boston. Dayum.

So, the Cavs have now won...8 in a row against ATLANTA including last year's postseason.

That's pretty dominant, right?

This day has been TERRIBLE. Miami dictates their own fate for third, while Charlotte may now escape the 6 seed with their win over Boston, and a manageable win over Orlando.

If Miami can win at Detroit and Boston, they've earned it. That's a tall task....we just need to take care of Washington and we'll be fine imo.

I think we need to bank on Boston beating Miami. Oddly enough, root for Miami to beat Detroit & root for Boston to beat Miami. If Miami loses to Detroit, then the Hornets get the 5 seed with a win over Orlando. If Miami loses to Detroit and Boston, they end up getting the 6 and facing us in round 1 which is a nightmare imo. Best case: Hawks beat Washington, Heat beat Det & lose to Boston. Hawks get the 3 seed and face Charlotte round 1.

That's the absolute ideal scenario, but how comfortable can we really be having to rely on Boston to win on the last night of the season? I mean, Boston winning is no sure thing: they just got blown out at home against Charlotte tonight. The Celtics will go all out to try and win on Wednesday, no doubt: a win secures them homecourt advantage and lets them avoid a matchup with us (I don't think they want any part of us in the first round), but things are way too convoluted for my liking.

Yeah, I feel you....I could see Wade turning back the clock at Boston. Boston is 2-0 vs Miami this season with a 10 pt win at Miami and 12 pt win at Boston, but they were 2-0 vs the Hornets before tonight with 2 wins at Charlotte and Miami didn't have iso Joe in either of those meetings. So who knows....Hawks just need to take care of business in Washington. They proved they aren't a given win with their 15 pt win over Charlotte on Sunday without Wall.

I'm not sure if this would have changed the outcome, but it felt like every time the Hawks missed all those free throws, it really killed the momentum and energy for the Hawks. Especially those times when the Hawks cut the lead to 2 - 4 points and then ended up missing free throws, that just got the Cleveland crowd more into it.

Hawks shot 52% from the line, the Cavs shot 90%
