Cavs-Hawks Second round series

Just my observation, but we really need to work on our rotations. Every single one of Bibby's threes came after poor rotation and not getting to him in time. Josh Smith also got a few of his buckets from poor rotation and poor help defense. We aren't talking enough on defense I think.

I also don't think we're attacking Bibby enough. West got some good looks against Bibby, so there's no reason to not keep going at him.

Took no chances with this game. Put the Hawks away clean in the fourth quarter.



Also, while I'm a little late to the convo, I think its utterly ridiculous to say that last year's Celtics team is light years better than this Cavs' team. The 07-08 Celtics team was light years better than the 06-07 Celtics team. That's where it fits. Be careful when you use hyperbole.

The brilliance of the talking heads today is that Denver is the best team in the league and has looked the best so far in the playoffs. Last I heard they lost a game.
BTW Dirk is the biggest pussy in the NBA. I wonder what the chances of Kidd being a Cav next year are?

[sarcasm]It'll be over in 2. Cavs win the first two by about 100 each. Then the Hawks quit.[/sarcasm]

Seriously though, I think it'll be over in five. The first game will be pretty close, because the Cavs will be rusty, then they blow them out in game 2. Game 3, the Hawks have so much energy from being at home and just being embarrassed in game 2, so they'll win that. Cavs win 4 and 5.
Not far off.

Cavs are rolling and Hawks are beginning to quit...(ok, ok...so they're "injured" :p).

The only thing negative I said was that I felt the 08 Celts were a much stronger team than the 09 Cavs (deeper too).
It really doesn't matter what you think about the Cavs. LeBron James, the best player in the history of the NBA, renders these discussions moot. As he is demonstrating against a pretty good Atlanta team.

Lets not get crazy yet. He has a way to go to catch Mr. Jordan and his six rings.
