No love for the Hawks???

[treemanjohn]

I'm still thinking Hawks in 6. The Bucks don't have much of a rotation. I'm thinking they'll get gassed like philly

NBA is a total waste of time…..woke.

 

[BornToHuntAndFish]

Nice start, disappointing finish. Wonder if Hawks have any more rabbits to pull out of their hats.

They have yet to put together a full game. The Bucks are a heck of a team and shoot the lights out. Once Trae tweaked his ankle it was basically over, they may be able to steal one more, but this throwing up bricks ain't gonna cut it. As someone has already said they are a young team and could be set up for the future.

 

[GTMODawg]

The shooting has gone south from the team in general. Bucks not making the same mistake Philly did and taking Atlanta for granted and thinking they can win without any effort. Hawks playing with house money so Bucks in 5 ain't bad but I wouldn't be surprised if the Hawks force a game 6 or win the series in 6 or 7.....they are too young to be predictable.

As a Wisconsin native, GO BUCKS!!!!!!!!! Best mascot in the league!!!!!!

Its funny they shot better with Trae out. They were holding the Buck off and keeping a lead. When he came in they took Gallo out and the scoring stopped

They went cold with 6-7 minutes left and did very little to stop the Greek and Middelton shot lights out. Still may steal another game but this is the Bucks series at this point.

Bogdanovich has got to hit open shots. And for the love of God, how does PJ Tucker rebound the ball around four of our guys?Rebounding the ball is boxing out and effort. Second and third shot opportunities are killing the Hawks

 

[TinKnocker]

It will be interesting to see how they deal with being behind in the series. I think the Bucks win in 6 or 7. Been a fun season that exceeded expectations. With a healthy Hunter and Reddish next season should be fun as well.

Absolutely...the Bucks ain't giving the Hawks 2 and 3 shots each possession but the Hawks are sure giving the Bucks that often enough to make a big difference.

It's really hard to follow a team that "rebuilds" every 3-4 seasons. The Hawks will get bumped out in the Conference Finals and either this offseason or next Trae Young and any other young, valuable talent, will get traded off for washed up has-beens and draft picks. They will not re-sign anyone after their rookie contract is up. Happened 3-4 years ago with Horford, Korver and Milsap. They had the best record in the NBA and the roster was blown up the following season.

Nasty looking injury for the Greek. Hawks taking advantage of it.

That was the same season that they got swept by Boston in the Eastern Conference Championship. Those guys were pretty good regular season players. Trae won't get traded. This GM hasn't missed on any draft picks since he's had the job

 

[BamaGeorgialine]

I meant Cleveland

 

[treemanjohn]

The Hawks looked much tougher without Trae. Its hard to believe that Lemon Pepper has played in 80+ games and never started. He did a great job of running the offense

Exactly. They blew up the whole front office. The new GM has been awesome.

 

[BornToHuntAndFish]

Fine Hawks win without Trae. Best of the 3-game series that's left moves on to next round.

 

[westcobbdog]

When your scrubs are laying down thunder dunks on an imposing team it shows alot of depth. We dont have better overall talent but we have more depth. Hope the monster from Greece sits out a few more games.
