Cavs vs Hawks | Kenny Atkinson Post Game | 11.27.2024

[@RSpeller-ym6jj]

This loss to the Hawks tonight is an inexcusable loss! Caris Levert and Dean Wade are injured, but like I said before, the injuries to the two were absolutely no excuse for the Cavaliers to not beat the Hawks!

[@lockdownpublications3169]

I've been warning people for 2 weeks about the Cavs poorest 3-point defense and tonight it caught up with them. Too many wide open shots. But they were never gonna win every game they are favored in. Friday's game will count for the cup so let's see them bounce back

[@RSpeller-ym6jj]

@ My Cavaliers better bounce back on Friday, because I will throw a raging mental breakdown if that doesn’t happen.

[@mcgovern12]

Hawks are dangerous. Record belies that trait. They beat the Celts.

[@RSpeller-ym6jj]

@ I understand, but what you’re saying still doesn’t excuse Cleveland from losing last night’s game, a game they weren’t supposed to lose.

[@Randle29]

Tyson should get Niangs minutes.

[@zachdonley7930]

He plays way harder. Niang is terrible.

[@KnightArena-p9h]

Please coach Atkinson bring this team to their full potential .

[@FloydPhillipsII]

Atkinson got outcoached tonight. Niang minutes are the worst. Stuck with him far too long. He can't stay in front of anyone...

[@lockdownpublications3169]

@@FloydPhillipsII facts, he was terrible and so was Sam for awhile. Because if his shot ain't falling he's useless. Atkinson got full of himself tonight. He played that bench too long. The Hawks bench punished them

[@LukeMast-t7m]

You can’t win them all

[@alexortiz7446]

Need to trade the minivan in for a scooter or somethin

[@zachdonley7930]

Niang is a joke. Dean can't stay healthy. They need a plug in guy for niang. He's way to slow and he's missed 20 3's in the last two games.

[@alexortiz7446]

@zachdonley7930 that's partially why Jerome's been getting so many minutes. When strus comes back, we'll be fine.

[@FloydPhillipsII]

Mitchell needs to commit to moving the ball and playing faster, always walking the ball up the court. Too quick to revert back to JB Basketball, non stop pick and roll...

[@inandoutoftheabyss9953]

I said this on Twitter after a CLOSE win that we barely pulled out and fans got super butthurt

[@Kitk2022]

I don’t think we got outcoached I think we missed a lot of shots. Niang was pitiful and him missing shots makes his game very limited.

[@Crackdealerfr]

Need to find a replacement for Niang. Dude is worthless if he’s not hitting perimeter shots consistently. Good job from the Hawks though, their players played fantastic and Snyder outcoached Kenny. Hopefully they can get one back Friday.

[@AndrewPolander]

Love coach Kenny...Wish he had BIG WINGS to work with....NO THANK YOU KOBY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@o7lulu07]

All I know is they need to redeem themselves on Friday for the Cup.

[@monkeyduhluffy]

Kenny really needs to take the defensive side of the ball more seriously

[@DDG17]

When the going got tough team basketball was abandoned. Ty jerome needs to be relied upon more when it gets real. What does the coach see in niang? Played him way too many minutes.

[@alexortiz7446]

Keep in mind im a HUGE Jerome fan. I watched the game live, and thought he had a relatively quiet game. (offensively) However upon watching the highlights didnt realize how good of Defense he was playing the entire night.

[@NastyWorks]

D is effort. They had effort for 10mins

[@ThomasW0]

Defense needs a lot of work

[@AndrewPolander]

Perimeter D with Big wings is more important in today's NBA than rim protection!..because of the volume of 3 balls!! FACT

[@lutheroneal3329]

Kenny be smoking that gas?? Why he always coughing?? Hmu I got you Kenny 📞👈🏿

[@bagstarant2458]

I’m tired of George’s can we please trade for Cam Johnson and Cam Thomas

[@devontebroom6800]

Yea id definitely package Niang Okoro and maybe Emoni Bates and a 1st for Cam Johnson and Zaire Smith

[@alexortiz7446]

Right now i dont think we can trade him for a hot dog vendor

[@OliverStorts]

There was a bunch of stuff wrong tonight! First perimeter Defense sucked and the Hawks took way to many open shots. Second, subbing was terrible I don't thing Niang and Merril are very good if they can't hit shots and there was no bench magic tonight, but hey we ain't gonna win them all but hopefully we bounce back Friday. Edit: Also the refs sucked ass tonight!

[@Randle29]

Merril is solid even if he is not shooting so well. But tally agree about Niang Tyson should be getting his minutes.

[@OliverStorts]

@Randle29 Yeah Merril is usually reliable shooting but not tonight and that hurt us. I thought Tyson played really well especially on the defensive side.

[@Randle29]

@@OliverStorts Ya also Merril has actually been very solid defensively this year and even when he is not hitting his shots the defense is too afraid to leave him open such open up driving lanes for our offense.
