Official Game Thread: Hawks at Cavaliers

5 point game.. I'll take it 

[JayBirdHawk]

I need Murray to make quicker decisions with the ball and stop picking up his dribble.

Hawks only gave up ONE offensive rebound to that HUGE Cavs team.  Nice!

I guess Osman is the bench guy that'll kill us tonight, smh.

They not guarding the dribble drive well at all tonight.

Nate making a point putting him on Donovan Mitchell. C'mon now.

Garland cooking him too. They are using his physicality against him. These are professional scorers. Garland and Mitchell are like that.

Yeah It would be nice if he joined the game. Not only is he missing shots but he is making terrible decisions with the ball.

[JayBirdHawk]

At least our offense looks decent enough.

6 of 27 from 35.3 %, however Cavs are shooting 66% from 3.

Bench (OO and JH) have 20 points. The Holidaze 0-5.

The interior defense has been good tonight.  The transition and the perimeter defense has sucked tonight.

Murray needs to learn to throw that lob.  Few of his PNR's would have been oops if it was Trae with the ball.  It's there he's just shy to throw it then he gets caught picking up his dribble.

Dejounte sits there with the ball like he is going to dissect the defense. He ends up hitting the side of the backboard.

 

This guy was 3rd in PnR creation?!

Missing Hunter. His length vs Garland or Mitchell would be helpful.

He's thinking too much. Just play!

Murray needs to focus on his strength!  get in them passing lanes.  Let Trae run the offense!

We miss Bogd tonite ...

Offensively we are having pretty good success. Suspect though on the defensive, making it way too easy for them. Even Robin Lopez is looking half ass, which is never something we want to be involved in!

Let's go boys for the second half.

[terrell]

Sad thing is we gonna have to max Murray no matter what, considering what we gave up...  But he's no where near the scorer/playmaker I thought he was.... Funny how He always cooked the Hawks when we played SA.....  Not sure hes the right fit offensively. Trae needs spacing/shooters around him. 

Now Shut me up Murray and go off in the 2nd half.. lol

There you go, JC. No hesitation.
