Game 2: Cleveland Cavaliers 105 Atlanta Hawks 85Analysis: Okay, so the Hawks didn't have much of a chance to win this game without both Al Horford and Marvin Williams, who are two of their better defensive players. It definitely showed too, because the defense in this game from the Hawks was just damn awful and pathetic. Now they will be without Joe Johnson for Game 3, which means they will probably get blown out once again and then most likely swept. The Cavs still haven't been challenged in these playoffs and it looks like they won't get any challenge until the Eastern Conference Finals. I'm not sure that Orlando or Boston can beat the Cavs, but I do know that they will at least challenge the Cavs and win some games. The question is whether or not it's and advantage for Orlando and Boston to be playing tough games now or if it's better for Cleveland to be cruising through the playoffs. Right now Cleveland looks unstoppable, but at the same time since they haven't been challenged it's tough to say that they are head and shoulders above Orlando and Boston.
Key Players of The Game
Lebron James: This was the Lebron show once again as he went for 27 points in just 31 minutes. He also had 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, and a block.
Mo Williams/Delonte West: They combined for 34 points in Game 1 and in Game 2 they combined for 29 points, while shooting 10 of 21 from the floor.
Wally Szczerbiak: Wally came off the bench to shoot 7 of 9 from the floor and scored 17 points. Anytime Wally gets off like that, you know your defense was bad.
Josh Smith: With Joe Johnson struggling, Josh Smith has carried the Hawks on most nights, but he shot only 2 of 13 in this one for just 8 points.
