Love the story line of Dusty Baker going back to Atlanta, where his career started under the wing of the legendary Hank Aaron. Let’s hope the stars are aligning for Dusty. – 11:56 PM

Never imagined the Hawks losing in Cleveland as tough as they looked routing Dallas. The only solace: They picked the right night to do it with the Braves reaching their first World Series since 1999.
Committee Of One will soon have lots more to say at marcstein.substack.com – 11:55 PM

The Braves were 19 games worse than the Giants in the regular season. The postseason really is a separate season. Atlanta had the fewest wins of the five NL teams that made it. (Giants 107, Dodgers 106, Brewers 95, Cardinals 90,Braves 88). – 11:53 PM

A reminder that Kevin Huerter used to play with Ian Anderson, so of course the Braves are in the World Series. – 11:48 PM

There were folks on this Twitter Machine that love the Braves but we’re either too young or not born yet the last time the Braves were in the World Series.

#Cavs Kevin Love on Evan Mobley being used at the top of their zone defense: “He’s got a huge future in front of him. And it doesn’t surprise me that he’s able to do that. In my mind, he’s gonna make a number of all-defensive teams in his career. So he’s just getting started.” – 10:08 PM

Luka just made his first 3-pointer (after 5 misses) and raised his arms to the sky as if to ask what took so long.
Another basket on the next possession, and the kid is cooking.

Just watched Hawks-Cavs. Hawks lucky Atlanta sports fans are distracted by other things tonight. Weirdly passive game from Trae (had Love on a switch at one point and just gave it up); no-show from Bogie. Gave up 21-0 run when Cleveland went zone. Yuck.
PS Mobley. Yum. Me Like. – 8:48 PM

Hawks’ bid for 82-0 falls in Cleveland. The Cavs were propelled by Team Spain version of Ricky Rubio (23 points) and ATL really didn’t shoot it well (39 percent). Adds up to a 101-95 loss. Trae Young led all scorers with 24. – 8:26 PM

That was a real “playing with their food” half for the Hawks. Ton of missed shots and missed open 3s, then let the Cavs get back in it with a few late Rubio 3s.
The Cavs do fight for Bickerstaff. Think it’s been that way since he’s been there. – 7:03 PM

Two Ricky Rubio 3s in the final 30 seconds remove all comfort for the Hawks. Halftime in Cleveland, it’s Atlanta 55, Cavs 52. Trae Young leads all scorers with 15 points. – 7:02 PM

The Lauri Markkanen era is off to a rough start. It’s just his third game. And he’s playing out of position. The 3 isn’t where he’s best used. He doesn’t have the same advantages he would at the 4. Cavs have to figure out how to maximize him. But, yeah, not good early on. – 6:59 PM

OK, Hawks’ fans. Your team leads here in Cleveland after Q1, but it’s close. Trae Young is off to a better start from Thursday (9 points) but an Evan Mobley putback at the buzzer made it Hawks 27, Cavs 24. – 6:39 PM

Clint Capela (who played 20 minutes in the first game) will still be on a minute restriction, but that will increase a bit tonight, per McMillan.
They’ll work that number up gradually, since Clint didn’t play much in the preseason. – 4:38 PM
