A bunch of turnovers, 4 fouls meant he really couldn't be a factor on defense for most of the game, didn't get the role players involved with his passing, and one really bad blown dunk. The stat line looks good, but he didn't have a great game.

He had a bad 1st half, but totally redeemed himself in the 2nd half. Scoring like 15pts in the final quarter while the game was still close is pretty huge.

I hope the Celtics fire him. Pacers need a fraud coach like Stevens.

People really over exaggerate when somebody misses a dunk. Bron just tried to throw it down too hard and missed ...still counts as one missed field goal.

That would be cool. People out there dragging his name because of 1.5 off games where he supposedly wasn't even 100% (if Richard Jefferson's account of a bug going around is to be believed). The less time Kyrie has to play on that tweaked ankle, the better. Ask Kawhi.

In offseason news:

http://www.ajc.com/sports/basketbal...ecutive-with-uga-ties/wY0ltKVnKkNeXL2o1w6zTJ/

The Atlanta Hawks are on the verge of hiring Travis Schlenk for its vacant general manager position, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution confirmed.

Schlenk currently is the assistant general manager of the Golden State Warriors. The 41-year-old Schlenk has spent the past 12 seasons with the Warriors, including the past five as the assistant to general manager Bob Myers. Details of a contract are being finalized.

The Hawks did not confirm the imminent hiring but an announcement could come as soon as Thursday. News of Schlenk hiring was first reported by The Vertical.

Schlenk also spent two seasons as the Warriors' director of player personnel. Prior to joining the front office he was a video coordinator with the Warriors and Heat and also worked for the Magic. Schlenk also served as director of basketball operations at UGA during the 1998-99 season under Ron Jirsa.

Schlenk was part of the Warriors' front office that signed current Hawks guard Kent Bazemore as an undrafted free agent in 2012. Bazemore said it was Schlenk who told him his contract had been guaranteed in his first season with the Warriors.

”He said ‘Don't stop working' and just walked off," Bazemore said.

Bazemore said Schlenk is known for his scouting ability.

”He is a great guy," Bazemore said. ”You've seen the success they've had at Golden State and he's a huge part of it. I'm excited that he is on board now. You can tell he is always focused on something. He is about his business. Every time you see him he is speed-walking somewhere to get something done."

The Hawks got permission to speak to Schlenk last week. The Warriors completed their sweep of the Spurs in the Western Conference finals Monday and await the winner of the Eastern Conference finals between the Cavaliers and the Celtics. The Warriors, in the NBA Finals for the third straight year, are scheduled to host Game 1 of the NBA Finals on June 1.

Schlenk was a candidate for a front office position with the Magic.

Hawks principal owner Tony Ressler announced a restructuring of the team's front office earlier this month. Mike Budenholzer lost his title of president of basketball operations and remained head coach. Wes Wilcox moved from general manager to special assistant to ownership.

It's pretty amazing he was still able to put up 11 points and 6 turnovers while sick.

Lebron seems like the kind of guy who would send out a teammate with an excuse about his poor play.

Not saying it happened, but would it surprise anyone if it did?

Per Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com, Lue said he believes the Boston Celtics offense is more difficult for the Cavs to defend than Golden State's:

"The stuff they're running, it's harder to defend than Golden State's (offense) for me, as far as the actions and all the running around and all the guys who are making all the plays, so it's a totally different thing. Like, they hit the post, Golden State runs splits and all that stuff but these guys are running all kinds of (stuff). And Brad's (Stevens) got them moving and cutting and playing with pace and everybody is a threat."

I've tried watching undisputed but my god I didn't think bayless could go any further into the deep end. Before I could at least be like "I don't agree but I can see where he's coming from" but now he's basically "cowboys cowboys cowboys lebron is terrible lebron sucks lebron is the second best player on his team".

It's true. Celtics have more scoring threats and talent than GS.

It always amazes me how people take it so personal when a player/coach says something about the teams they root for. So damn odd.

Anyway, do you guys think Bosh will find a team next season? Love the guy, but I'm hoping he reconsiders playing again. I'd love to for him to try broadcasting.

I don't think Lue is all that far off the mark, Stevens runs a lot of good stuff and they have guys who execute. But yea lol, so do the Warriors and they do it with much bigger weapons.

He's been breaking down the film

Lue said of Boston coach Brad Stevens' schemes. "I'll be like, 'F---.' They're running all kinds of s---, man. "

This last part takes the cake. GS moves, cuts, and plays with pace better than anyone in the league and the threat level is exponentially greater than Boston.

Who cares? These Eastern Conference Finals games don't even matter. Lebron could score 0 next game and I could care less. Let's see what happens in the finals.
