quin's obsession with Royce needs to stop. the guy received a total of like 2 nba-all defensive team votes and Quin acts like he's some kind of a defensive juggernaut who will do it all

Wasn't able to catch the game, but what stands out to me from the box score is only 2 rebounds for Bogey in 34 minutes.

only? that is a typical number for him TBH.

 

[enchilada_style]

Definitely a game worth watching again

 

[Release the Kraken]

Blame this one on **** luck! We didn’t have a snowball’s chance with that roster.
Still have a good team, one good trade away from great IMO!

Lmao yikes. tHe OnLy GaMeS tHaT mAtTeR ArE sTiLl a LoNg WaY oFf.

Let's be honest with ourselves folks. This is a 2nd round playoff team at its best and likely going to be a 1st round bounce. Everyone not named Rudy should be on the trading block... It's insane to me that people here want to keep running it back with the same squad. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Blow it up already

I'm with you. And, as a fellow Hawks fan, it is time to blow up the team by trading RW.

I do take issue with "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different results". I wish people would quit saying that is the definition of insanity. That is most certainly not the definition of insanity.

he needs more shots, apparently.

 

[Hearsky]

Just laid some lumber on Cavs +5 ½. Good times.

Five easy Benjis. The Fresca is on me tonight, boys.

It may not be a bad idea to go through a few defensive drills.

On a normal night, yes, but with no centers I would have expected him to crash the boards at least a little harder. Just one more example of our lack of versatility.

He needs to be traded. Yeah go shoot your postgame free throws that you know will get the “he’s such a hard worker” results on social media. You gave little effort and lead a trash *** team without Rudy Gobert, congrats scrub.

Either your joke has stopped being funny or your obsession has reached dangerous levels. Either way, I'm tired of reading it. And since you obviously don't know how to stop, I'm putting you on ignore.

Someone let me know if he regains some semblance of sanity.

I’d imagine he’s waiting for Donovan to call him and apologize for each perceived offense.

I’m just awaiting the trade y’all.

 

[Ujfanatic]

It was pretty hard to watch how clearly the Cavs were targeting Donovan on defense in the 3rd quarter. His D is really, really poor.

Otherwise, I had no expectations for this game. Too many guys out to take any real meaning from this one.

 

[hgb]

A friend of mine (Pelicans fan) asked if I thought Joe should've been ejected early. I thought he asked about the techs, but he wasn't. Apparently there's a discussion (reddit, dunno) on whether Joe's elbow at Jarret Allen right before he got his first tech is being mentioned as a possible F2. I thought it looked entirely incidental, as Allen came at Joe pretty quickly, and it seems the refs did too.

He's his pet. The guy wouldn't start on any other contending team. We overpaid, for too many years, and given him the ultimate free pass.

If some of the other younger players were given the leash Royce gets they might thrive. We will never know.

 

[The Thriller]

We really look small AND not very athletic. That’s a dangerous combo in the NBA.

 

[SoUjazzfan]

To Cleveland's credit, they knew we were at a disadvantage and really exploited it for an easy win. I hope at some point we learn to do this when playing a short handed or low quality team.

 

[hgb]

I thought we looked solid for a few periods, in particular in the 2nd quarter (I think), we seemed to dig down and defend well (plus hit some shots). If that feeling and that intensity can be replicated, there is hope, but for the most part, this was pretty abysmal.
