STFU

[graymule]

The last place Atlanta Hawks. For all of you tankers, this must sound great. Hawks are now ahead of
Chicago in the race to the bottom of the NBA...

I hate it when someone says, "I told you so." But, here goes. "I told you so." How many shots did the
Cavs take from down town? And, how many did they hit? Also, did "The King" bully his way inside?

Prince is starting to look like he may be a real consistent offensive threat.

Baze's stat line looks real good but still makes too many out of control plays for me.

Plumlee really isn't the worst contract we have. Bud can make him useful for us. He was a +10 in this game.

Ty-C is a player. 9 rebounds, great shooting.

On to the next one. I'm becoming convinced that we are in for a lot of trade action in the next 2 months and then again in the summer. The only guys that I would be really surprised to see traded are Prince and Collins. Everyone else I could see.

STFU

Exactly but the one that needs to STFU is the jack-leg asking that dumb-a**, softball-a**, 'lob pass for Lebron to pat himself on the back'-a** question.

Did that obviously Cleveland-based reporter get a high-five and pat on the head from James afterwards? Probably, yes.

ETA: Shout-out to @macd for pushing that "Ty-C" nickname. I see you workin', macd.

How about that "foul" on Ersan when Lebron ran over him? As much as I'd love for Korver to get a ring, I just hate almost everything about Lebron.

The reporter got something I'm sure.

That was nowhere near as egregious as the time Lebron ran over Taylor on the way to an assist.

I may have quit watching by then.

"(hehe) Did ya like that questions I had asked Mr. Lebron, sir? (hehe)"

"(hyuk, hyuk) Guys! He gave me a high-five this time! I'm never washing this hand!"

I honestly sometimes don't understand the way the game is played these days. Hawks just let the Cavs get in a really nice passing rhythm and knocking down 3s without any physical D or good fouls. The difference in talent from our starters to the bench isn't so huge that foul trouble means a lot. You can't just let Lebron dribble around and survey. Go out and force a pass or foul the crap out of him. You don't need to double to do that. Go get that ball, make him give it up.
