Official Game Thread: Cavaliers at Hawks

[Thomas]

Moose really forcing me to change my overall attitude towards him today. Wow Bucknell.

[Thomas]

F*** yeah!!! Thats not the way I spelled the F word. Big Brother there. Fun as hell win. Has LeBron ever fouled out in his history in the NBA.

[cam1218]

Wow, I can't believe it. I only kept watching because I was happy with our play in the last two games. I was still pretty close to giving up. Amazing comeback, I'm starting to get excited for the playoffs!

[lethalweapon3]

...well!

I literally lost my voice. This was better than Chicago and Houston. Wow

Agree, weird team that wins against a lot of odds and could really win in the playoff enviroment.

Yep. Dennis needs to go. He isn't anything more than a slightly better version of Reggie Jackson.

 

Yes, I know you were talking about Howard, but Dennis isn't a starter on a really good team.

Dennis and Dwight might need new homes if they can't by into the system.

[Lurker]

A reminder, Dwight/Dennis were on the bench every minute of this comeback.

Things that make you go "HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM".

That was simply incredible.

The story is real simple, if a team has 5 shooters on the floor, Dwight can't be on the floor. If Tristan Thompson is out, Dwight is useless against the Cavs.

I can agree with this but with howard on the floor vs tristian cavs know that they are at a disadvantage.

 

Its all about matchups no need to call out howard because of your personal unnecessary dislike...when howard is playing well and is contributing you never mention it. Therefore your "negative comments" have no meaning.

 

Yes howard was out the game on the comeback due to matchups...hes a traditional center and a good one at that. no need to bash him cause he's not apart of this new spacing era. we can and will use him when need be....there will be traditional centers in the playoffs where he will be needed.....hopefully then you will speak up to and not just when he's having a tough time.

I've always liked Moose, his biggest issue was with coach Bud. Bud played him too much and put him in situations that didn't really utilize his strengths. He should never be your first big off the bench but he certainly can be a solid contributor.

He was not out until almost too late, I don't care about how good he was on post ups, he gave up what he gave today.

[JTB]

Great comeback win but I must admit the refs gave out hawks some rare love that we probably won't see in the playoffs.

[Thomas]

Its like we are finding out shit at the very, very end of the season. We may indeed have a rotation but its not gonna be ten guys or even the guys we thought it would be, just maybe Bud loosens up moving forward. Al Davis definitive statement goes right here "Just win baby".

As a PF. It would give him the chance to succeed with us or wherever. He knows the system here so if he is cheap we could do worse off the bench. But this time around really hit the weight room and don't just talk about it. Take the lead from Tim this last offseason.   

[hylndr11]

when do we bench dennis?

[Thomas]

On the even more positive side what does Lue say in the locker room after this and in the post game presser. More BS from an ex ball hogging pg and very average coach.

[Dnice]

Hawks get the season series too?

Yup, 3-1. We were on a 12 or so game losing streak to the Cavs coming into the season.

[Thomas]

Waiting for LeBrons comments or does he head straight for the shuttle. Maybe it is not tendentious after all. Just a disgruntled talented diva.

[TheFuzz]

Trade Dennis in a package for George or Butler. Championship.
