- Atlanta defense has its holes.
- Cavs ML roughly even.
- No shame in losing to Cavs.
- Atlanta not very reliable at home historically.
- Atlanta not physical enough

"I would say just my spirits and mental confidence, just being able to actually feel both my feet underneath me, especially when I'm shooting, it feels amazing," Irving said. "You know, just a confidence of getting extra work in and just preparing with my teammates. I think that's the biggest thing I get out of it. I don't want to be on the sideline at all, especially preparing for a big stage like this. I want to be as close to 100 percent before Wednesday as I can be, so just doing the necessary things in order to do that."
Cavs coach David Blatt said he was "encouraged" by Irving's improvement

Cavs gotta b thinking, they started the Chicago series off on the wrong foot,
that can't happen again... they don't have home court adv so are going to
have to steal it tomorrow.

Writer makes some of the same points I did, seems to be leaning on Cavs tonight.

LeBron James told the media before the 2015 Eastern Conference Finals that he doesn't care about home court advantage -
and actually loves road games.
