Official Game Thread: Cavaliers at Hawks GAME 3

Ess Oh Eff Capital Tee, SOFT-TUH-TUH

Paul Millsap may have had the worst defensive game of his life. Channing Frye is a good shooter but Paul Millsap made him look like Klay Thompson.

You can take everything else, but not stuff like that, not at all.

Most of the adjustments I saw were fine, by the way. Looking for early offense instead of working for a shot for example and taking Korver out of the lineup kept Smith quiet (although he made the shots he took, Bazemore kept him from catching often). And then they go away from what worked entirely, started to wander a little even before Teague took a break.

I've just come to accept we don't have the talent to compete with them period, they have too many shooters. Sign me up for the "blow it up" bandwagon.

We were good until the 4th and did our usual collapse.  Why we didn't keep exposing them inside but instead tried to take 3s with them I don't know.

About 50 allowed from their 4's love and Frye.

This is reminding me too much of last year:

Game 1 - We had some chances but let it get away.

Game 2 - Game never in doubt

Game 3 - Keep it close but don't make enough plays at the end.

I fully expect a blowout in Game 4, and I won't be watching just like I didn't last year.

Hawks scored five points the last 7 minutes and change and 2 were off a meaningless putback dunk.  That is the recipe for how to lose a game.

Yup, I'll do what I normally do in days instead of taking out time to and it'll probably be more satisfying (go walk and then go on my iPad).

This is a 54 win team and ECF exit even with a bigger SF. If you want to go championship or bust?

It's time to move on from the Al Horford era instead of trying to "patch" "patch" "patch" like the Braves did for a while before deciding to blow it up.

No more half measures.

But Carroll is a world beater!

[Lurker]

There's a route to fixing this without moving on from Al Horford but it better come this summer or the blow it up rebuild is coming by 2018.

Kyrie caught fire and Channing Frye had 27 pts. End of story.

Cleveland has shot around 47% from three on 38 attempts throughout the playoffs. There's no defense for that.

[JonKoncak]

How does Channing Frye score 27 points?

[Peoriabird]

I'll say it...Paul Millsap was garbage in this game especially in the 4 quarter with his turnovers and missed shots.  His defense was atrocious the entire game.

Uh how about guard them? Damn near all of their 3s are open catch and shoots
