Lurker Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) We can talk about the refs and Green's suspension but the cold, hard reality is Golden State played like they had the title won in games 5 and 6 which in most cases is a huge mistake. Even if you have a big lead in the series, you have to continue to play hard to earn it, and not let off of the gas. This is in a large part, on Draymond Green (despite what he did tonight overall) but Kerr and Curry's arrogance was also a big factor.

Game 5: 41 pts - 16 rebs - 7 asst - 3 blks - 3 stls Game 6: 41 pts - 8 rebs - 11 asst - 3 blks - 4 stls Game 7: 27 pts - 11 rebs - 11 asst - 3 blks - 2 stls 3 game average: 36.3 pts - 11.7 rebs - 9.7 asst - 3 blks - 3 stls Make no mistake sir. This is the biggest reason why they won. They took it from Golden St. Edited June 20, 2016 by TheNorthCydeRises 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Draymond is going to feel silly if Golden State fully chokes because his completely stupid comments woke up a beast" It wasn't just about the suspension, he allegedly called LBJ a f***boy in that game.

Mdizzle5 Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) We aren't going to change much. I see some light roster shuffling but that's it. As long as Lebron and co. play at that level, we aren't taking the East crown from them. Not with this current team.

ATLHawks3 Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 If it makes anyone feel any better, at least we lost to the eventual NBA champs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWF Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) Again, as I keep saying, Lebron is the East, and the Hawks need to beat him if we want to compete now. So, since the Hawks can't even win 1 playoff game against the best player in the NBA with Horford/Teague/Sap core, we either keep losing OR rebuild, new core. Both ways, we will lose to Lebron. But the rebuild has a longer more promising future with the hope of a future star from a better draft position, where as the current core can keep being an afterthought around the league.

Gray Mule Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Tank? Rebuild? Why? No matter who the Hawks obtain, if he's not the current hero from Cleveland, we are not winning the east. Nope. Not happening. Can't be done. LeBron has it sewed up. He has so many fans behind him. He has total power in the NBA. What can we do? Try to get all the young talent available to us. Strive to be #2 in the east until "The King" retires from the NBA or dies of old age, whichever comes first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebuild for what? It's a strong possibility that if we rebuild wrong, we will end up waiting 10 more years before we have a team good enough to even make the playoffs. That loses FAs. Know our History! IF we stay in contention then maybe some good free agent will consider us. IF we drop out of contention, we may become the new 76ers... always in the lottery.. a training ground for other teams.. A D-League team in the NBA.

ATLien_ Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Congratulations Cavs fans. We all knew Lebron was the best player in the game and he just reinforced it in this series. That block on Iguadala won them them the game IMO. Golden State has some soul searching to do. There were far too many bad shots early in shot clocks and behind the back turnovers and it cost them. They looked like a team that really started feeling themselves. The Bogut injury was much bigger than people thought. Ezeli and Varajo were terrible. They missed bunny after bunny and allowed Tristan Thompson to get off. Golden State really is a sum of their parts much like the Hawks. They just have better scoring and two way playing parts. With all that being said Cleveland really exposed Curry's and Thompsons lack of athletcism and propensity to jack long threes instead of drive to the basket.

Cleveland benefited from Draymond's absense in game 5 and from the Bogut injury. With Bogut out, Tristen Thompson was able to dominate the boards.
