THE REAL HAWKS-LIE OF ATLANTA

It's hard to determined whether the Atlanta Hawks are outmatched in the Eastern Conference Finals or are they just without passion. Nevertheless, every since Game 6 against the Chicago Bulls in the Semifinals round, the Cleveland Cavs have shown dominance on both the offensive and defensive end. Last night they held the Atlanta Hawks to a measly 23.1% shooting from three point range and made 40% of their own in the 94-72 victory to take a 2-0 series lead. The #1 seeded Atlanta Hawks have now surrendered their entire home court advantage and are endanger of being swept. A ignited Phillips Arena yelled their lungs out through the first half where Atlanta trailed only by 5 points heading into the locker room but It was when the second half began that the fans were exhausted of their morale. A 30-17 scoring run allowed the Cavs to pull away in what could possibly be Atlanta's final home game of the season.

Though the Cavs were without superstar guard Kyrie Irving, LeBron James had an usual day at the office. 30 points 9 rebounds and 11 assists is how his night numbers turned out as he again proved that there is no one on the Hawks roster capable of defending him. The Cavaliers kept the Hawks without rhythm because they shot 26 free throws stopping game flow for Atlanta who thrive on ball movement and transitional buckets. They've averaged 10 less rebounds in the Playoffs than in the regular season, clearly indicating that opportunities to get out on the fast-break have been limited. Not a single Hawks player scored over 15 points in their Game 2 showing. A decentralized offense has made it difficult for the Hawks to execute in close games and stay away from one on one possessions because of eagerness. Coach of the year Mike Budenhozer will head to Quicken Loans Arena Sunday afternoon with a 2-0 deficit to redeem.
