Hawks-Cavs game thread
Greetings, all-
Ken Sugiura sitting in for MC again to give him a much-deserved breather. Dude’s been grinding. He is working on a story for Friday that I think you’ll find interesting.
A few notes. Jamal Crawford is out again with a back injury. He did not look like the definition of spry in the locker room before the game. He had some trouble even bending down to pick something up off the floor.
Marvin Williams wasn’t thrilled about coming off the bench Monday. It should be in the notes posted shortly. (It’s just before 7 p.m. right now)
Joe Johnson said he can’t fully extend his right arm yet. He’s still doing therapy – resistance stuff – and said it affects his release, which might explain a little. He’s 16 for 48 (33.3 percent) since coming back and 3 for 16 from 3-point range (18.8 percent).
Enjoy the game.

@Bailey im just sick of them using that excuse . They have been dropping that we need to play with more energy line for at least the last 4 years now.

Ok, I’m gettin fed up with Josh and all the jumpers. Everytime he misses, it seems like it leads to an easy basket. Same thing with his errant passes.

Bruce Levenson looks like Wilford Brimley. I wonder if the Hawks are planning to have Diabeetus Testing Supplies Night.

Damn when Smoove Horf Joe and Marvin all play this solid (none has to be “GREAT”) we are a damn good team.
And I know every single team in the NBA can say this about their starters, but I really believe that
