Game 79 | Hawks (40-38) @ Cavs (51-27) | April 7, 2017 | 7:30pm EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Are people surprised? As soon as the Hawks pulled everyone, the Cavs should have done the same. For some reason they think they can just show up against teams like tonight and win. Of course the Cavs weren't going to put in an effort, and the players for Atlanta are still NBA players.

Yeah its disappointing, but these games don't mean anything any more.
 
@Chris Parker, has anyone asked why Lue why he refuses to play Derrick Williams even though the alternatives are playing terrible?

he likes his lineups, tho' Shumpert's exile leads me to believe D-Will might be freed soon. Team obviously needs more... more, which Shump ain't got.

The putative explanation is that he wants the guys that will play together to get all the time so they can develop chemistry, and since D=Will isn't playing (in Lue's mind) NOSOUPFORYOU!

It seems like a game like this would be great chance to build chemistry w/o LBJ on floor, but those opps are only sporadically used, which undoubtedly partially responsible for weakness when the Greatest Binky of All-Time is not on the floor.
 
I knew Mike Dunleavy was going to butcher us.
 
EMBARRASSING! I pray for Allah that we can lose in the first playoffs round, because I don't want to see an epic sweep for LeBron against the GSW!

The funny thing is he finally pulled the plug on Shumpert tonight but replaced him with no one. Just more minutes for everyone else.

Maybe Liggins and Derrick show absolutely nothing in practice? Or maybe Lue is just ass cheeks.

He keeps shortening the rotation and without TT, they were short on defense. I think Lue just feels like they will shot teams out of the building and the team has take on that mentality.
 
I think it actually pretty disrespectful for the team to come out and give minimal effort about half the time. People pay good money to see game. If you don't care enough to play hard for the coach, at least play hard for the fans.
 
it'd be the best thing IMO (besides winning a title which won't happen)

i don't want to give KD and the bitchettes the satisfaction of beating cleveland. if they lose before the finals they'll realize they need a fundamental change. team meetings and passive aggressive instagram posts don't infuse your team with talent. only 2 guys on the team are definitely worth what they're paid

I think it's like 2007. Mike Brown had shown himself to be a mediocrity, and it was time to replace him. Rick Adelman was available. Instead, we make The Finals, people get the mistaken impression that Brown can coach, and the next 3 years get wasted.

Last year, we win it all, but Lue is along for the ride. He benefits from a halo effect, and we will probably hang on to him far too long, too. There are lots of good coaches out there; we just haven't had one since Mike Fratello.

Blatt can coach, but he was the wrong guy for the situation.

Any idiot knows that, when you aren't hitting from 3, and Howard ain't in, you should try to get to the rim, and take higher-percentage. Yet there they were, gunning more threes...

You know what? After putting some thought towards you're post, I kind of agree. I think I would take a first round loss better than watching them get beat by those bitches on the left coast. Unfortunately, I still think they will 2-peat. This lapse in judgement was because they were uninterested. We just saw what they can do when they have something to focus on.

What a fucking pathetic effort. You looked as if you turned the switch and all you did was play one solid game. Worst loss of the season and everyone involved needs to be fined.

Have nowhere else to put this, and since you mentioned him...

Blatt just took a first time Euroleague team with no star players to Euroleague QF, where he'll meet Real Madrid.
He is an amazing coach. Shame he didn't get enough of a chance.
 
If they don't care about the regular season, I don't care about the regular season.

Mfers better bring it starting game 1 of the post season.





Now...about getting my league pass money back
