What, are we supposed to play the Finals based on a fan poll? Weak post.

Giannis has looked good walking around.

If Bucks hold on to win... he'd get 4 more days of rest before Game 1. He might play Game 1.

No excuses for the game Trae's put up so far.

I'm holding on till it's over before final judgement

Of course there is. Bone bruises can take months to heal. Trae is playing in an NBA game less than a week after suffering the injury. I don’t see Teague grimacing after routine layups

Speak for yourself. I would not have watched a second of Lakers-Nets.

matt roberson · 07-03-2021, 09:26 PM

Ya’ll crazy.

No matter how this shakes out ATL has a really good core of young players and if they deal Capela and add a few more prices this team could be highly competitive in the east for many years. Trae/Reddish/Heuter/Onyeka/hunter could be a great starting 5 if they continue to develop. Trae clearly isn’t good to go but I give him props for giving it a go instead pulling a KL.

Siberian13 · 07-03-2021, 09:26 PM

Congrats Bucks fans. Hope Giannis comes back for finals and it’s a fun series to watch. Georgia sports doing Georgia sports things as usual.

atoaz12 · 07-03-2021, 09:27 PM

Bucks are just better

But it's frustrating that such a magical run is going to end the way the last two games have gone

100% this

deemsterz33 · 07-03-2021, 09:31 PM

Bucks have to make a serious effort to lean towards this more traditional style of play in the Finals. No more Giannis taking the ball up the court almost every possession.

hairyangryfella · 07-03-2021, 09:32 PM

Reddish trying to do everything himself, interesting.

pingbling23 · 07-03-2021, 09:33 PM

Hawks making a run.

One decent game is supposed to negative his terrible body of work the last two years?

You haven't watched enough of his last two years to make a call
But just believe what you want

If you can't see the potential, it's on par for your vision/takes

Khal, he's been their best defender the minute he steps on the court in every game. I'm impressed.

2010GBPackers · 07-03-2021, 09:39 PM

No Capella? Oh, let's jack up some contested 3's.

FML.

We’re talking about a guy who has shot 37.8/30.9 in his first two seasons in the league. Who wasn’t any better when he was in college. I don’t care how good of a defender he is. He’s a terrible offensive player.

He would absolutely have minutes against Holliday and Middleton in this series, Simmons and Harris last

Cam is not a good player right now. If Bogi keep being that bad, best thing for the Hawks would be to go 7 deep or play Snell.

Once again... you haven't watched. Only look at numbers
There's been injuries and scheme changes

Every time he's gotten rolling, he's gotten dinged up or the season ended

Zedlaw · 07-03-2021, 09:42 PM

Nice to see single digits again

matt roberson · 07-03-2021, 09:42 PM

That was a pretty weak foul call with 4 minutes left and gives KM his fourth. Coach bid should have challenged that.

I’ve watched plenty of him at Duke and plenty of him in Atlanta. Remember who I like on the Hawks? He has contributed negative value to the Hawks, and it’s not because he got injured or the season ended. He is what he is.

It would have upheld due to the contact. But I agree it was an awful call, that happens every layup in the game. They only called it because Trae missed the layup and flopped

Yet he's the best player on the floor in a close-out game in the ECF. Keep going.
