Khris Middleton should have taken a page out of Ben Simmons' notebook and not shot the 4th quarter

I can’t stand watching this team. They play too stupid to be here. But were granted a gift from God last round.

I mean who would you want to shoot it there? I pick Middleton no matter how he has been shooting all game.

Siberian13 · 06-23-2021, 09:56 PM

Wooohoo!!! Go Hawks. Stole another game 1

PelicanFly · 06-23-2021, 09:56 PM

48 points against Jrue. Insane.

Hawks are killers. Ended the Process. Might end Bud's tenure in Milwaukee. I know he might feel safer after outlasting Bkln but if this series doesn't go 7 and/or look 'unlucky' for the Bucks I think he might be gone anyway.

Thanks for showing up tonight Khris.

Respect to the Hawks. Just continuing to exceed expectations series after series.

I still think the Bucks make the finals, but it won’t be easy.

I think what makes these playoffs interesting is how rare this is. Usually the best teams win in the NBA.

Bill Simmons compared this year to 1978 - when a Sonics team that started 5-17 made it to the Finals. The Sonics lost to the Washington Bullets, and then beat them in a rematch in 1979. Probably the two most forgotten years in the NBA since the merger with the ABA.

mcwildcats · 06-23-2021, 09:58 PM

Why does Pat Connaughton get meaningful minutes? May never understand that.

I agree with you. It was a good shot and almost went in.

The team chemistry is real. Everyone also keeps expecting Trae to go cold but here he is with nearly a 50 piece tonight.

Everyone says the 5 seed, but since Nate took over they’re 27-11 reg season and 9-4 in playoffs

Looks more like a 1 or 2 seed to me

He tries hard.

armoursave · 06-23-2021, 10:01 PM

Middleton is their only closer. Jrue is a distant second. No other options. He got a good look, just missed it.

Litwing · 06-23-2021, 10:01 PM

Trae the GOAT!!!
He is a real clutch star!

Maybe that’s their problem then. Guy isn’t a closer. Never will be.

I wouldn’t really qualify that as a stop. Giannis pushed him away and Trae didn’t even contest the shot

pingbling23 · 06-23-2021, 10:04 PM

Gonna be Phoenix/ATL finals, and it’s going to be a good one. These playoffs have been awesome.

packman80 · 06-23-2021, 10:04 PM

Bucks played with zero effort tonight. Bucks came in expecting to win. ATL punched them in the mouth and MKE never answered back. If MKE plays this way again ATL will beat them.
