    I thought Gordon Hayward took that shot for Butler, not Shelvin Mack.

    when lebron gives full effort like this, he is unstoppable. it doesnt even matter if he misses every shot he takes.

    incredible.

    Like we've all said before. Its not about shot making efficiency. James can go 1-30 and still be a net positive for his team.

    No, I'm an unbiased fan watching the game objectively.

    Hawks should have put this game away in the first quarter and a half. This team has really fallen flat on its face since the All-star break.

    This is the funniest thing I've read all year. Why can't you just admit you hop on any team your favorite player is on and that includes your ex boyfriend tracy mcgrady.

    Correct. He took the last 2 shots for Butler. One close to the basket followed by the last second heave.

    If Mack hadn't had cramps, Butler would have won.

    Time for Teague to make a name for himself. This is his time to save the Hawks' season.

    Both series gonna sweep. How boring!

    The NBA is exploring the possibility of moving up the start of the NBA Finals to June 2 if both conference finals series end in sweeps, league sources told CBSSports.com Sunday.

    With the Warriors up 3-0 on the Rockets and the Cavaliers leading 2-0 heading into Game 3 against the Hawks Sunday night, the league faces the possibility of an eight-day gap between the end of the Eastern Conference Finals and the start of the NBA Finals, scheduled for June 4.

    Were both series to go seven games, the West would've concluded May 31 and the East on June 1, resulting in a two-day turnaround into the Finals.

    But with the Warriors and Cavs surprisingly dominating their respective series -- the Warriors can close out the Rockets Monday night, while the Cavs won the first two games of their series in Atlanta -- the league is exploring a contingency plan. It's complicated and unlikely, sources say, based on television commitments, hotel capacities, international media travel and other considerations. One person familiar with the discussions described them as being in the "very early exploration" stage.

    One obvious potential issue would be arena conflicts, but there are no scheduled events at either Oracle Arena or Quicken Loans Arena that would make changing the start date of the Finals problematic from a building perspective. But network TV scheduling, hotel inventory in both cities and international travel loom large as obstacles to changing the scheduled start date.    ​

    Delly has been trying to take out the knees of all the Hawks' key players.

    not an answer but Iggy, Green are big enough to slow him down. Warriors gameplanning for the Cavs isn't that much different from the Rockets, except they don't have Dwight to deal with at the rim.

    Not sure how strong Curry's knees are. But he better watch out.

    Equally as bad to bandwagon hate.

    Hawks need to win this. Can't go 7 or 9 days without an NBA game.

    Lol Bazemore.

    I cannot stand scrubs that think they are better than they really are.
    Ex-GSW too. **** that POS.

    I would say I hope LeBron dunks on him, but he already did.
    I would say I hope TT blocks the **** out of him, but he already did.
