LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers have a 2-0 series lead over the Atlanta Hawks after the 1-seed dropped the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Cavs won convincingly on Friday night, without Kyrie Irving. After the game, TNT’s Charles Barkley walked into the media room and called a sweep, letting the media know they wouldn’t be returning to Atlanta this season.
