DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Tailgate Forum Cavs/NBA playoffs continued

Sure lets sub delly who can't do anything for the only guy scoring

It's obvious NBA doesn't want us winning this one with theses retards wearing striped shirts posing as refs

I hate to blame refs but there have been some horrible calls tonight

But I'll also say we've looked really ugly at times tonight offensively - need to have better passing and come on where did the defense go

Channing frye should be our starting small ball center. We went on an amazing run once we sat Thompson. Everything picked up

I loved Andy, but wow what an acquisition Frye has been.

I'm not sure but I think the Frye pick up was a good one

CHANNING FRYE ON FYRE!!

I dont think they were sandbagging at all.

Atlanta is coming home off of an embarassing loss, knowing if they lose tonight that their playoff hopes are pretty much over.

The Hawks took their best shot at us and still find themselves down 7 with 3 minutes to go.

Love/frye are killing it

That's exactly it. The refs even seemed to give them whatever help they needed as well. The Cavs weathered it and have now turned up the heat when its needed.

Frye/Love/LeBron/Smith/Irving is unguardable. That should be the Cavs crunch time five.

Can't wait till the finals.

Man put Teague on his ass for that bush league

That should be a flagrant on Teague

Teague is such a little female dog.

This is where having Kendrick Perkins around would be nice.

Classy move by Lebron

Not happy with this game. Our defense sucked. We need to fix that. But glad they hung tough and made a comeback for the win.

sweep

Hawks and Cavs tonight:

Yep.

Not a pretty 3rd quarter, but hell yes I'm glad we still won.

Saw a funny tweet: How many people in Cleveland are digging their "Frye" Browns jersey out of the closet now?

Per ESPN, previous NBA record for 3s through eight playoff games was 90. Cleveland has 118 through seven games.

We're also the first team in NBA history to hit 20+ 3-pointers in consecutive games.

Hope we can keep it rolling

I figured the Cavs were going to have a good 4th to give us a chance, but NO WAY did I see a 36-17 whitewashing.

I was a fan of the Frye acquistion when it happened and I like it even more now. The dude can shoot.

As for the Teague play, that was the "take somebody out" play that Barkley wanted to see. Whatever. I do have to question what Lebron's intentions were driving to the basket up 11 with 30-something seconds left. If I were Teague, I would have lowered a shoulder on him too. It's not like there were 5 mins left, the game was totally over. In fact, the starters shouldn't have been out there for just that type of situation. Again, whatever. It's over.

Thats whats crazy

We didnt have the greatest game, and we still hit 21 triples

And thats why while it should have been a flagrant, I dont have a real problem with it . It was a hard foul, but he didnt go at his knees, he didnt hit him in the head. He didnt try to rip his arm out the socket. He fouled him and added a little push . Thats ok, thats trying to have a little pride in a tough situation.

Atlanta played tough tonight, they gave it everything they have. They just dont have enough for us.

As long as we have Lebron, the eastern conference must deal with Cleveland. He's the boogeyman of the East. Atlanta knows they're done.

They have to be deflated and demoralized. They actually played us tough in games 1 and 3 and we still were standing there running out the clock at the end of all three games

What did we do before internet memes?

j/c:

--Reading the posts that were made during the game is hilarious and annoying at the same time.

--TT's rebounds didn't help? Hubie kept referring to how many points the Cavs scored off of those rebounds. At last count, it was 21, 22...or maybe 24 extra chance points. And maybe while you were too busy typing, you missed how the Hawks used two guys to block him out. That frees up another offensive player, but no, that stuff doesn't help.

--Hawks whine too much. They are mentally soft.

--LeBron was on cruise control for much of the game, but man, when he turned it on, he turned it on.

--I was not a fan of the Andy/Frye trade, but Frye is really helping the team. Turned out to be a good move.

--I absolutely love watching the Cavs play when they move the ball. They are awesome when they do that. When they go Iso, they go into offensive lulls and the pace of the game changes, which favors the opponent.

--I don't whine about officiating, but there were some questionable calls last night.

--No one looks tired for the Cavs. I hope they sweep Atlanta. I remember how tired they were last year in the Finals.

I want to add that I think it is very important that the Cavs have so many guys who are shooting w/confidence now. It used to be they would wait for LeBron to do something. That's no longer the case. Their confidence could go a long way in how far the team goes this year.

Atlanta is gonna fold in game 4 if they go down by 15+ at any point.

I hope we get Toronto in the ECF. We'd be the first team ever with 3 bye rounds before the finals

No..actually they didn't help at all, because most of the time he would turn it over. You and TT must be besties as you're really the only one that thinks he's this amazing player, he was the only player on the team that was negative on the +/-. He was a -14, Frye(who i think is a MUCH better small ball center) was +28. We didn't make our run until we sat Thompson, thats not coincidence, between his inability to do ANYTHING on offense or at the line, and not being able to defend the rim..he's really more a liability. Sure sometimes he gets timely offensive rebounds...but really thats it...yet being paid green money...but i digress, Love is a better rebounder, and Frye is a better all around player, so putting them out there proved to be the turning point. But its funny reading your passive agressive posts...board pot stirrer for sure.

I think Miami gets it together..too much talent, and Lowry and Derozan have proved inconsistent. I'd much rather have toronto, Miami I think would give us fits with Thompson/Mosgov trying to defend whiteside and with their defense at the rim, Kyrie and lebron would have difficulties, we'd just have to hope the hot shooting continues

So, Hubie was lying when he said we had that many second chance points off of the offensive rebounds that TT got?

Oh, and your whiny posts during the game are hilarious.

Isn't this statement of yours EXACTLY what you constantly gripe about if others disagree with you?
