Official Game Thread: Hawks at Cavaliers

[Final_quest]

Nice run!  We’re back in this.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

I think Cam deserves to finish this game as well, in place of Bogi.

Also, it's games like these in which the value of Gallinari really show up.  With us not having a legit PF as a backup, Gallo's size and scoring ability is so valuable to this team.

This is also the type of game in which why I NEVER want to see Hunter get extended minutes at PF. He's a tough defender, but he's just too small when it comes to securing rebounds.

[NBASupes]

We gotta continue to score and get stops

Hard to win 6-on-5 games. 24 fouls to 10

[Bonkers]

Yea when Rubio plays like this it's game over

 

I just hope we kill em when we play em next time

It's ridiculous.

Nate or Ressler need to address this and nip it in the bud.  

Trae should not be penalized because he knows how to draw fouls throughout the course of the game. 

If he's getting hit, and he's not initiating contact, he should be able to draw the foul, no matter how much people don't like it.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Let that thang fly Trae.  He was open for that 3, but was determined to get the ball inside.

Shoot that open 3 and we'll live and die with that.

Losing to a trash team on a b2b, I cant...

Then Nate has to chase ref all the way to Cavs bench to get timeout, 3 seconds wasted

Nice of you to chime in to bitch

[hawkman]

LAME loss. Trap game.

[FL_BRYANT]

Hawks still have trouble with size.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Get healthy Gallo.

 

[ATLHawks3]

I'll happily trade this Hawks loss for a Braves win tonight. Soul for a soul.

Don't get the big head and go to Cleveland and blow this game. 

You called it. They did exactly that.

Any thoughts on what we could have done better?

[marco102]

I'm preparing for all the hottakes. 

My one thing is Nate should have matched their size.  Put Dieng in with Capela, John, Cam and Trae. 

This should show them that all teams will be coming for them.  

Everyone played terrible except Cam.  

On the bright side.  That's two great games in a row for Cam.

Trae doesn't have his rhythm yet.

Bogi's and Kev are off to slow starts too. 

Dre isn't himself yet. I'll give him some time. 

Very encouraged by what I'm seeing from Cam though.

Edit: John's foul trouble also cost us.

Attack the zone. Hit open shots.

Brightside. Miami's down 8 to Indiana.

Gladly!

Gotta hit them 3s, Gallo was missed. The foul disparity was ridiculous to boot
