Official Game Thread: Hawks - Cavaliers GAME 1 (8:30 PM Tip!)

[devilwentdown2GA]

Pumped for this one! Everyone picking against us and I just love it.

[atlhawks1]

Antić with his usual brick and rebound that comes right at him but he jumps 1 inch off the ground and cant snag.........WHAT is it that bud sees in him??????

Good start. Lebron 2 fouls...3min left in 1st Q...Hawks fans remember...

Stay humble...stay hungry..

Let's get these 3 min with Lebron on bench

[DrReality]

I ain't believing James has two fouls. Apparently the refs didn't get the memo from the league

[APE]

Bring Elton in to put Thompson on his back.

We're already seeing the refs favoring these guys.

Someone better guard Smith ...don't know why hawks fans ain't concerned about him.

[atlhawks1]

Gotta put bazemore on Smith and give up the Korver experiment.

I'd try playing Korver at the 3 the next time Lebron moves to the PF. Korver seems to be having a tough time getting past Smith.

Looks like Teague has his legs back

[Dnice]

Dennis is just sucking with them jumpshots.

[volman]

Lebron with at least 4 shots that have bounced around the rim about 8 times.

[bleachkit]

Dennis Schröder can't shoot. No way he can ever be a starting guard with that horrible shooting.

He's streaky. But I agree we need to defend him better.

[RedDawg#8]

Oh my goodness I am too amped watching this game. I dont think I can make it a whole series

[devilwentdown2GA]

Lebron is abusing DMC one on one.

Teague has been great.

Need more from Sap and Korver.

Gonna be a battle.

[JETSET]

For now on, when teague and dennis are on the court, teague better run point with dennis playing offball. Tired of these early bricks by the menace which lead to fast breaks for the cavs

[APE]

Jeff Creague has been great... Schrader needs to keep penetrating and not shooting.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

On my way to the game on MARTA and I hear a guy actually say we need to put Millsap on LeBron instead of DMC. I just looked at him and shook my head. The casual fan knows nothing about our team, even here in Atlanta.

When you look at how easy Lebron is posting up DeMarre, that guy might be right. Very smart of Lebron ( or Blatt telling him ) to take that approach. DeMarre has no chance of defending Lebron down on the low block.

[devilwentdown2GA]

We must improve our rebounding.
