Like I said Holiday and Middleton would be enough to beat Atlanta without Giannis. Brook Lopez was the extra sugar on top

Cam Reddish made it interesting for a while, but Bucks in full control

Young 4-17; playing hurt but just not good enough, especially not with Holiday and Middleton going off.

Young’s ego wouldnt allow him to stop shooting. The fact that they stopped going to Reddish is pure stupidity. Btw, I got Suns in 5(and that’s with Giannis) and 4 if its the Hawks. These two teams are too stupid for words

The Hawks won one game without Trae and hung in there tonight in spite of him.

Ask and ye shall receive

Also he caught an oop from Portis early on in the game too.


If Brook put any work in the paint this game they would be up 30.

Was just coming to say, he cost them with those 2 drives that didn’t equal to nothing. He’s trying but goodness those last 2 attempts from him were unnecessary

Trae has been fantastic all playoffs. He’s playing hobbled obviously.

Pretty sure some Bucks/Nets games broke some viewership records recently specially game 7 or they were really high at least


It’s funny, they’re high when you compare to 2020 which is what most news is highlighting. Which is misleading generally given how crazy everything was last year, of course a back-to-normal state will see huge comps.

I understand the value of appeasing your star, but when you realize he doesn't have it, you've got to be able to stick Lou in there for him. And if you're Trae Young, true courage is realizing you're not the team's path to victory.

I don't think P.J. Tucker taking the 3rd most shots on the team is going to beat the Phoenix Suns.

Why did Reddish double Jrue all the way out there? That screwed up the Hawks' rotation...
