Game 2 • CLEVELAND_@_ATLANTA___in-game_Thread

[Ratzz]

who's it gonna be.. gents..?

i am thinking that Cavs win this gam, and then lose Game 3 at home..
ATL kinda due for a bounce-back, though

wish i had my charts, (no time to make them)
guess i will just watch this one..

[Calgunner23]

Liking Cleveland +3.5 right now, seems high. I know Kyrie is out, but they've been playing hard without him. Less offense and more grit from the back up PG.

We shall see.. GL everyone.

[Ratzz]

i was wondering why the line was so high.. i did not know that Kyrie was out..

wow.. i think i may have to reverse my call. Glad not tempted to play. (no charts)

i guess Clevelend expects to win this series, and is sitting Kyrie out
so that he is more available in the Finals..

i do NOT expect JR Smith to shoot very well tonight,
could be Hawks in a blowout.

[WildCelticsFan]

I expect Hawks first half but cavs make it a game in 2nd half

[Ratzz]

I expect Hawks first half but cavs make it a game in 2nd half

i was thinking same.. but now i don't know..

should be good game.. i guess just sit back and enjoy the show,

wayyyy too many variables to gamble on this game.

Kyrie

D. Carroll

too much for me

[Menses]

Would be shocked if Hawks loose here..a 60 win team has no business loosing game 2 at home against a Cavs team....minus Love and Kyrie...

[jtoler]

I do not like Korver much really never have, he's inconsitent. I have no idea why he insists on taking 3's while he's leaning, he's does that so much, every time he's leaning he seems to miss, would have a much higher percentage if he didn't shoot while leaning.

[Calgunner23]

Cleveland looking focused again! Bazemore on Lebron! LOL insulting..

[Menses]

Tristan Thompson is a problem....

[Menses]

Ratzz...If Lebron had Tristan and or mozgov in Miami..does he even come back home? LOL

[Throwawayaway]

Cavs will find a way to win it for Lebron. He makes everyone around him 10 times better. Cavs win this series in 4 games.

[Ratzz]

LOL>. Menses

man, LeBron has these guys trained SO WELL.

they really BELIEVE in themselves... and play like All-Stars..

Kevin Love is OUT..

Kyrie Irving is OUT.

Cav backups just roll along, like "well, i guess it's MY TURN"

other supes can't do this.. just him.

[Ratzz]

I bet LeBron kids are going to be VERY SUCCESSFUL

[Walulu]

They'll have no lack of resources

I bet LeBron kids are going to be VERY SUCCESSFUL

LeBron James is not thrilled that his son and young basketball standout 10-year-old LeBron James Jr. has already received letters and even scholarship offers from college coaches.
"Yeah, he's already got some offers from colleges," James told CBS Detroit before the Cleveland Cavaliers' matchup against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday. "It's pretty crazy. It should be a violation. You shouldn't be recruiting 10-year-old kids."

LOL

[jtoler]

Hawks leave guys wide open on the wing for 3's even after seeing them make em, don't understand it.

[Ratzz]

wow, excellent video!

but 1-on-1 i still pick LeBron over Jr.

even though LeBron legs have 20 yrs + more miles on them.. i just think
this is one of those "experience Rules" areas..

unlike Jordan vs. LeBron (lol)

i will give it to LeBron here, even though still wet behind the ears.

basically what i am saying..
is that i think LeBron is so good, that:

he is better that guys 20+yrs younger, AND guys 20+ yrs older (seriously)
he's that good

[Ratzz]

they are playing really LOUD music in the break to get the crowd going..

cheerleaders are trying to smile and do their part..

the fans are just sagging in their seats. LOL

[Menses]

Think Hawks are throwing this game...did not expect to see Cavs leading going into 4th...still 4th quarter left...Cavs have hit 11 of 17 3's....jesus...

HAWKS officailly quit.. it's really easy to get injured when you ass
is being embarrassed on National TV by a lower seed, missing TWO Starters!!

LeBron has created a MONSTER!!

[Ratzz]

why are Cav starters still playing.?

up 18 pts.. 8 or so min. left.. wtf?

[play4win]

washington would been better for some competition. hawks full of bums!

[jtoler]

6 min. left, Bron still in lol, horrible coaching, if he gets hurt Blatt should be fired on the spot.

[jtoler]

3 min. left Bron still in.

[Ratzz]

6 min. left, Bron still in lol, horrible coaching, if he gets hurt Blatt should be fired on the spot.

that was LeBron own fault.. he really wanted the Triple-Double
(shortsighted) i think

[R.P. McMurphy]

Quite abit of love on this board from Atl and Rocks lovers praising these overrated jokers and thought they had honest chance 2 win these series for whatever reason who knows?!? Anyway they all on this dart throw and ended up like one these .....it's okay boys it will all be over soon! Btw knew Cavs would win series total no brainer and them parred for series with Gsw but was on Atl tonight like a dipshit. Not proud of it!

[Ratzz]

6 min. left, Bron still in lol, horrible coaching, if he gets hurt Blatt should be fired on the spot.

bad coaching to have Shumpert in for more that 30 min.
in my opinion..

the guys is nursing a groin.. need to be his fastest in the Finals (if Cavs advance)

[Menses]

Not sure what to say about this one...dun understand how the Hawks can loose by 20 at home to handicapped Cavs team...is it more about Lebron and his ability to create team chemistry or is it the Hawks inability to defend?

[Menses]

Series is rigged...only explanation....

Easy money

Hawks just playing like shit at end of day in many phases. And if you didn't know this series would get rigged "if needed" before it started I got nothing for you. Ratboy/mensus you will appreciate this. ..the league wanted NO part of Hawks in finals10x more than they wanted no part of Sac in '02 and we know how that got tilted! Just bu$ine$$ sometimes in sports that's reality and teams like Shitlanta with no household name stars to get ratings don't make the final cut.

[Walulu]

What rigging was done tonight? I don't get it other than Atl just bad. Refs didn't need to help.

I am not really being serious about this particular game being rigged...however let me state unequivocally that the NBA is rigged...and this series has the potential to be because as u stated..the Hawks cannot create interest like a Lebron led team would...I also am not afraid to state when I think a team is laying down...point shaving...basically throwing a game....

However..I think what is happening in this series may be entirely a different matter..Lebron took it to another level tonight..and his teammates are playing a lot like he does...perfect rotations...each player seems to know where the other is at ALL TIMES...i have not seen this kind of synchronicity from them during the regular season...Lebron looked a lot like the 2009-11 ish Lebron out there...and that is NOT what Atlanta was preparing for....every pass was the right play...every post up was the right play..every shot was the right shot...Lebron is playing in a bubble right now...everyone else is outside of it...
