The game was draining. It'll be a game time decision whether I can watch game 4.

Alright so postgame, horford owns up to his mistake and says he was wrong. BUT, then he goes on to say delly needs to understand there is a line and they are all brothers. He also said delly has a "track record." Then he was asked about Korver and if he thought it was a dirty play. He says he thinks it was a hustle play but again there is a line you don't cross. Then a reporter asked a great question by asking if the track record was the Gibson play, Korver play, then tonight. He said simply, Yes.

So wait, Korver play wasn't dirty and a hustle play, BUT it's part of his track record?? That makes no fucking sense at all.

I just really wish someone had asked him about the fact he was pulling on delly's shoulder....

Here's my thing... if Korver is getting on the floor after the loose ball, there's no issue. Just because Delly is willing to get down after the ball and other guys aren't doesn't make him a dirty player. He's a hustler. Those are the plays that he's got to make to stay in this league. He puts his body on the line because that's what he's paid to do. His play on Korver was an entirely unintentional hustle play that resulted in an unfortunate injury. With the Horford play tonight, Horford had a hold of his arm and pulled him back (over DeMarre Carroll). Delly stumbles on Carroll and falls into Horford.

In BOTH instances, Hawks players weren't playing the game the "right way." Korver wasn't hustling after a loose ball and inadvertently got hurt. Horford was committing a foul during a loose ball and got angry because Delly was hustling.

Kelly's play against Gibson was antagonistic. Absolutely, and the referees made the proper call. Tonight, however, Delly did nothing wrong and Horford responded in a retaliatory manner in the neck region. He deserved the flagrant 2, as he was clearly responding to cause harm. I don't think Horford is a dirty player, I think he just got caught up in the moment. However, his act was dirtier than anything Delly has done, so I don't understand how they're pointing the finger.

Another thing that bothers me is the number of times LeBron has been pulled down from behind in the playoffs. I'll bet in the 13 playoff games so far, LeBron has been pulled down from behind at least a half dozen times.

Delly isn't a dirty player. I hope Horford is banned for the next game for being a POS; he can watch the Hawks get blown out at home.

Lebron James putting the team on his back.

I can't wait to play the Warriors.

So, if Hawks fans can say that Delly dove at Whoreford's knees, Cavs fans can say Crowder dove at JR's knees, right?

It's just a stupid argument drawn up by the media because they can't just give the Cavs credit

LOL at the Hawks crying about the undrafted free agent out of St Mary's. Delly is quickly becoming a folklore hero in this town and probably the second most popular player.

And...you have a certain clown poster here that said this,,"I think you see people having this reaction toward delly, because he isn't skilled at all". Can't make this shit up folks...he said it. Delly has an ugly jump shot, and has God awful looking tear drops in the lane. But he scores and scores and scores. It takes just a little bit of skill to do that. Not to mention...Delly is fundamentally textbook on blocking out and defending people. Sure, he'll make you cringe when he throws a cross court pass that gets picked off or whenever he dribbles the ball off his foot. But who doesn't?

And...for the umpteenth time...Dellavadova is a better 3 ball shooter than KLove, JR, James Jones, and Shump...based on the numbers.

Hooley's article. Hammer head meet nail head. David Blatt needs to address the media before game 4 and put a stop to the nonsense and rip Smith and Miller a new one. Since Irving went down, the Cavs are 3 and 0 with Delly running the point.

Delly shot a little better than those guys you mention.....On almost half the attempts. I would expect him to shoot a little bit better, when shooting less than half the amount of 3's as the others.

And to steal from your playbook. In HS I shot 66% from 3 (2 for 3) does that make me the greatest shooter of all time? Or just someone who has a higher percentage, on far fewer attempts?

THIS!!!! Delly almost never takes a contested shot. He's left alone a lot. Jr is hitting shots with guys draped on him. You're a moron footwedge

Perfect scenario would be for the Cabs to win tonight (likely) and the Rockets to stretch this to 7 games (unlikely).
