A big **** if there's no Tony Allen in this game..

(just so you guys know, that was not a swear, but a certain well known internet acronym..  There are no kids here, are there??  I think I could go to a Nickelodeon message board and they wouldn't block that out  ??? )

I'm assuming it was masked profanity.  If so, of course it's going to be filtered.

And yes, there are kids here.

Great defense is forcing long contested jump shots not giving up lots of shots around the rim. This wasn't great defense.

I agree, we were fortunate today that the Hawks missed so many shots.

Not as if they need to considering how much the lead is. Save the energy for the Cavs.

A great many of the shots were contested. Far more than there were in Atlanta.

How much do they have to win by for it to not be a 'lucky' win?  ;D

I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous - after all the blocks, steals, and missed shots we've gotten, this isn't great defense?  They aren't missing wide-open layups, EVERY shot is contested WITHOUT committing a lot of shooting fouls, our rotations are superb while still doubling Joe Johnson, and everything they get is out of rhythm.  A 4 foot shot off-balance from an awkward angle at the end of the shot clock with one man bodying you and he and another having their hands in your face is just as desirable as a contested jump shot.  We have been dominant in every defensive aspect of the game.  Sure, part of it is they have been a bit out of sorts, but a lot of that has come from us.

Sorry, but this win has got nothing to do with luck .... monster defense and attacking the paint!

Really?!  Ok, no problem then.  Hello children  :D

Loving this game...  but I'm still going to be wary until I see us play in Cleveland.
