What really hurts is the fact that there are three games in this series we could have won.

Yeah. It was actually a close series as far as sweeps goes. Outside of game 2, as you said any of these games could've been won by the Hawks. Thing is though, I consider the Hawks makeup relatively weak. There was no doubt in my mind that Cleveland was going to win these games as the Hawks just have this thing about them I can't grasp.

Seriously. Although it is ESPN so I wasn't exactly expecting the utmost professionalism here.

Mentally weak, is what you may be thinking of that bothers you about the Hawks' chances. They were leaderless through much of this series. I think after today, Schreoder could be that leader. Regardless, I'm going to be pissed if Teague is still on this team after all of this shit.

congrats to Cavs. They have a long wait now.

Pretty much the play where the Cavs had 4 opportunities won the game for them. How the Hawks allow Lebron to grab 2 rebounds on one possession when he was surrounded by 3 Hawks players?

I agree mentally weak. Those tough possession they don't capitalize.

Cleveland will get a week off no matter what. If the Heat/Raptors series go 7 then they get 8 or 9 days off.

Earliest the series would start is next Sunday

May have been the same result in the same quantity of games, but this was a much better series than last year. I mean, Game 2 was awful, but the other three games we played fairly tough.

I understand your ire.

But, nobody expected them to make it out of the 2nd round.

So, they met expectations.

Nobody wants to get swept, especially two years in a row.

But, it could be worse.

You could be my Clippers.

Rough series @Demonjoe93. Hawks were competitive and are a better team than the current perception, imo. Schroeder and Bazemore have bright futures.

Cavs did what they were supposed to.

Kyrie looks great this playoff season and Love is fully engaged.

Congrats

That much time off worries me

 

[gordontrue]

Love is undefeated in his career in the playoffs. Yes, I know he has only played the Celtics, pistons, and Hawks.

How much time off did the Cavs have between the 1st & 2nd rounds?
