I don't understand how you keep leaving players open for threes. I'd rather take two pointer Than a three, stay on your man!!

How you give up 20+ 3s back to back though?

I mean is this becoming the norm. You gotta shoot 21 3s in order to win a NBA title.
Warriors and Cavs changing the game.

lol @ Atlanta thuggery.
It's the advantage slashing, penetrating point guards provide for their team. Someone is going to be open since the D has to collapse on the penetration. Nobody does it better than Kyrie and Westbook, IMO. And everyone on CLE can shoot except for Thompson it appears.
agree with that. they look like killers in these playoffs so far.

If Frye gets more playtime and is consistent, then yeah, I can see them being the Champs this year.

Missed most the game, saw Cavs were behind early, what happened?

Undoubtedly smiling now.
he did his job, more or less. hard to beat CLE. they're a good team and put a lot of pressure on opposing offenses to keep up. especially when they're doing what Lue wants and keeps pushing.
about 20 more threes, some timely ATL misses and some good defense. ATL's loss tonight wasn't for a lack of trying. It was CLE's ability to continue to rain 3's. Channing Frye had at least 25 tonight, almost all from behind the arc.

Heh. Was just thinking that. Still can't believe he said that.

Channing Frye made his signing worth it

Let's see them chuck 30 threes against a team named the Warriors and Spurs before we start making these little proclamations.

lol so they tied the 3 point record two games in a row. Crazy.

Lmao try not to overreact to a team looking good against the Hawks.

Warriors have actual defense, so I wouldn't be scared.

You mean triple teaming Kyrie at halfcourt and then haphazardly closing out Channing Frye at the 3 point line isn't good defense?
Lee Chaolan
Member
Yay. I miss Andy, always will love the guy, but Frye adds another dimension to this team.
Love it.
And JR only hit 2 of those.
Warriors switching does defend the 3 line well and they allowed the lowest number of catch & shoot 3's per game in the NBA this year.

I think it's always reasonable to respect a roster with Dwayne Wade on it. I agree it's a different matter entirely without Bosh, but they are respectable. I will respect the threat of MIA until we're up 3-1 or something like that. It is unlikely, however, that they'll be able to score with us I agree. But MIA's front court will have a better series than they're having against Toronto. Valenchunas (sp) is the best center in the East remaining in these playoffs and Whiteside won't have to worry about being abused in the paint anymore after dealing with Jefferson and Valenchunas. Thompson/Love will be like a breath of fresh air for him.
It will be a more interesting series than the Hawks have provided (with respect to their amazing game 3 effort tonight).
I don't know if that stat will matter at all. Both teams have penetrating guards that can create opportunities for shooters. Neither team relies on "catch & shoot 3's". They just...take them as they feel like it. Open, contested. Shit doesn't matter. Everyone on both teams would get the looks they want. Whether they hit them and with what level of proficiency would decide the series.
