NBA Playoffs Season 2014-2015

I didn't realize that Cleveland was winning this game without Kyrie.  Wow, that's depressing, lol . Expected, but still depressing.  Ugh.

The "Lebron" factor.

As much as Lebron makes me cringe like the rich spoiled kid in the neighborhood, what he's doing with this Cavs team is really winning me over. Dude is incredible.

It also helps that Atlanta has no superstar or go-to player to match up with him.

Bingo......we have a winner ......ding ding ding .....Hawks have no clutch go to Paul Pierce player to get a dagger shot when they need it.

Dude if the Hawks can't beat LeBron by himself, it really throws a bucket of ice on anyone who is using Atlanta (a team with literally 4 all-stars) as the model of "competing without stars". 

As if our Celtic squad, which doesn't even have a legit starter, can add the 5th best Hawk and suddenly make noise as a real basketball team.

They made noise this year.

[SHAQATTACK]

For Hawks to win...like the a Bulls ......guys like Milsapp,and Horford need to serious step up,and do something ......otherwise Hawks go out in flames .

[Roy H.]

I don't want to bury the Hawks yet, but David Blatt deserves a lot of credit for getting his team to transition from an offensive powerhouse to a solid defensive team in a matter of weeks.

Oh, come on.  Love being on the bench deserves way more credit when it comes to the Cavs turning into a solid defensive team.

Cleveland's defense was actually worse when Love was on the bench this season.  Getting everyone to play to their defensive potential, when that's not the style they've played most of the year, is good coaching.

Well sure, but didn't we already know that going into this series, lol ? Ironically, this is when they need Joe Johnson, haha .

I'd never count out Kyle Korver.

Ehh, he's had a strong first half, but he's mostly fallen on his face in these playoffs.

I agree .    Thinking the same ......Hawks were great in a terrible east conf.

I doubt Hawks can beat the Pelicans , Mavs , Jazz ......much less the rest of the West playoff teams .....yet they flash this gaudy record

I wouldn't count Ashton Kutcher out, either , but he can't create his own shot at all, and has been shut down during a number of games during this postseason.

Exactly ......Hawks don't have a got a go to player ISO pro ......LeBron will,kill,you anywhere on the court and then rebound the ball , make the necessary pass to,set up,a,score.

LeBron is Blake Griffin and CP3 all in one.

I think that has a lot to do with collinearity. Love played 1430 possessions without LeBron and 3620 with him.

Indeed.  And if we add 4 all-stars, so shall we...  but it would be kinda depressing if adding 4 all-stars still isn't enough to stop a basketball supernova like LeBron.

Not all stars are created equal, as I'm sure you know.  3 of them are borderline stars.  The only true all-star in my opinion is Horford. 

[GC003332]

You are having your best season every in Atlanta and you decide you wear throw jerseys from an era where you routinely struggled to get out of the first round, makes perfect sense

[SCeltic34]

I take that back.  Millsap and Teague are borderline stars.  Korver isn't.  An elite shooter, but definitely not anything close to a star.

[Roy H.]

Dang, Lebron has assisted on 8 3PT FGs.  He is so hard for a defense to contain.  That behind the back pass to Shumpert was beautiful.
