Game #60 | Cavaliers (41-18) @ Hawks (34-26) | March 3, 2017 | 7:00pm ESPN

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
You have to love the fact that we have the regular season AND postseason record for made 3s in a game and they both came against the Hawks. That is epic. I'd love for us to make one more to put the cherry on top.
Especially when the Warriors are the best three point shooting team in this era. And now that we have both we will be known as the 3 point shooting team.
 
Again, they turned the defense around the last two season in the regular season.

But ok. Continue.

The Cavs defense has considerably improved in the playoffs versus their regular season numbers, Rich. I don't get why you are trying to argue that that didn't happen.

The first year with Blatt, we were the BEST DEFENSIVE TEAM IN THE PLAYOFFS!!! We were not that in the regular season at any point.

Last year, we won the title with the worst regular seasons defensive ranking of a title team I think in NBA History, because we improved the defense in the playoffs
 
Completely agree. They'll tighten up their rotation so scrubs like Shump are getting a bunch of minutes.

You're about to get hit with the hottest disagree of your life!
 
We are much better offensively this year and we have added two defensive specialists to this team.

Right now it's as if we are testing our offensive boundaries. We just broke the NBA record for most threes made in a game but all people want to do is bitch about defense.
 
Hawks are out of timeouts.... thats an automatic technical... refs give it to them anyway
 
What the FUCK happened? Last I heard we were up by 23 early in the third, then I check out the end of the game and it's a one point game? What excuse do we have for not holding leads now that we have such a deep bench? Or for Lebron playing 40 minutes? How did we end up like this?

This kind of shit will not fly in the playoffs that's for sure.
 
I'm not sure, but they might slip to 21st in defensive rating after tonight.

Needless to say, no team anywhere close to that bad defensively has ever won a title. Like, not even in the ballpark.
Yeah even with everyone healthy in the middle of the year we have not looked great. It's very concerning. Trying to flip on an imaginary defense switch when you haven't play any defense all year is not a good tactic.
 
Should have been such a feel good game.

Ugly win.

What does it matter if you break some record if you lose the game, which we almost did?

Defense wins championships.
