This is why I'm bummed about losing to the Hawks.  Cleveland would've taken us out but we would've given them a real fight.

How many times is the playoff record for 3s gonna be broken this year?  Tonight makes 3 times by my count - Cleveland, GS, Cleveland.

We would have been much more competitive. A healthy Celtics team wins at least 1 or 2 this series
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

At half, Kenny was like "Hawks need to use the second half to prepare for game 3"
And Ernie was like "game 3 will be in Atlanta...if necessary" lol

Like I said, at the very least this just cements to Horford that the Hawks' ceiling is ECF. Cavs might not lose a game until they play Miami, and given Toronto's personality, they might get swept if they happen to make it to the ECF.
Have you watched Horford? Dude looks terrible don't want him anyway.

I wonder if the Cavs end up winning it all it gives KD second thoughts about coming to the east

I doubt it would change anything. There would still be just one juggernaut in the East vs. two in the West. If you're OKC, then most likely, you have to get through the Spurs AND the Warriors just to get a chance to play the Cavs every year; that's crazy. In the East, all you have to do is get through the Cavs, then you're in the Finals, where "anything is possible."

This is embarrassing. 36 point deficit after the half? You have to think that a fully healthy C's team would've made this at least a competitive series, and they surely wouldn't have given up 18 threes in the first half.

Atlanta also gave us lots of good looks at the 3pt region problem was we kept clanging them whereas the Cavs arent missing.

A healthy AB Smart and Crowder and the Cavs wont get as much good looks. But I aint dreamin of beating the Cavs yet until we get Durant.

Miami is playing really well right now. They might actually give Cleveland a challenge in the ECF. I'm not a Miami fan by any means, but I'd definitely root for them to beat Cleveland with all of their thugs and unlikable players.

I share a similar sentiment about Cleveland, but I still want them to make the finals and lose. Everyone gives LeBron the benefit of the doubt for not having Love and Kyrie last year, meanwhile he's not getting past the Spurs or Warriors even with them.

Lowry and Derozan with yet another crap performance so far.  It can all be forgiven if they go off in the 4th, but man, having one fraud star on your team is hard enough...but BOTH members of your starting  backcourt that basically make the team go becoming puddles in the playoffs?

How can they possibly not get rid of at least one of them this summer?

It's comical how much they've choked this postseason. Up 4 now largely due to JV, but Derozan is like 1-6 from the free throw line lol

Man, I don't really like him, but Wade has been absolutely clutch this postseason. It shows you how valuable a veteran, experienced team is.

Well, Stephen A Smith says that derozan is already a lock to go to the lakers this offseason. Derozan himself said a few months ago that he would like to stay in Toronto long term, but maybe SAS knows some more info.
