Eastern Conference Finals: (3) Bucks vs. (5) Hawks, Part 3 | Bucks win 4-2

[Threezus]

Holiday has wrecked Trae on both sides of the floor tonight.

I’m not familiar with Atlanta’s deeper bench players but I wonder if Skylar Mays could have helped at PG? In garbage time last game he appeared to me to have quickness and a sturdy frame. If just for 10 minutes or up to three or four fouls could he have helped?

I actually like what i see from Skylar quite a bit at times the kid looks promising everytime we put him in. I still think he is a year or 2 away from getting big minutes so i would like a legit upgrade at PG next season but im not against giving him a look.

Oh man Harlan for conference finals next year now that Marv is gone

Kevin Harlan is the GOAT

If Trae was 100% healthy, the Hawks would be going to the Finals. He just wasn't the same tonight, but he also shot his team in the foot by going hero ball in the closing minutes when it's clear he didn't have it all night. What a damn shame.

Congrats to the Bucks!

Sometimes when the refs help them out and you have a lot of injuries even the good guys can't win. If we were healthy this series it would have been the Hawks winning in five. Instead, not having our second best player this series or last plus Nate waiting way too damn long to put Cam in was too much to overcome. Oh and the ref that didn't move out of the way that injured our superstar costing us game 3 when we were winning going into the fourth quarter and then not having him for game 5 or 6.

I usually dgaf about the playoffs after the Hawks or Twolves (when they make the playoffs) when they get eliminated. But after this travesty of being robbed I hope the Suns sweep the charlatans out of the Finals.

To the one decent Bucks fan, happy for you. For the rest of them especially the idiots that cheered when Trae got hurt I have nothing for you.

Chill out man, seriously, chill. You have a great team for many years, just enjoy it.

Go be a fan of a team since 1979 and see them lose because of injuries and refs and then see how you can "chill". No one that calls themselves a fan would be "chill" after this crap.

lol how can you blame injuries, Giannis was hurt as well?

Giannis missed the last two games.

Not buying it.

[G R E Y]

Congratulations to the Bucks for making it to the NBA Finals! Important gut check the last two games without Giannis. Perhaps it opens his eyes about sharing more with his team mates in the future.

Best of luck to the finals teams. Looking forward to a great series.

Would Giannis also be healthy in this scenerio?

[Packbuckman]

Hope Giannis can play in the Finals. Would love to see King Flopper (CP) with no ring.

Suns will blow the doors off the Bucks with their speed and pace

We have played them twice this year both one position gms but keep believing lol

[Threezus]

Rooting for the Bucks to win it all.


The Hawks are going to be a problem for a long time, the fact they have Trae and what appear to be two very good wings who can defend is scary.

Yeah, they have a bright future with Cam, Trae, and Hunter. I don't know if I would resign the power forward though.

For me Collins tricky i love the guy and he shows alot of potential at times. Plus he is really young at 23 so he still has alot of basketball left in him and alot of room to keep growing into a better player. But i think we would be smart to listen to sign and trade offers and if we get a really solid one you might have to take it. But if we don't get anything good offered then you probably gotta match whatever it is and let him continue to grow with trae. It's pretty hard to replace a 20/10 guy with his age and upside that meshes so well with Trae and the team.

SMALL MARKET TEAMS!

Allright man suit yourself.

Should have cleared that up, yeah, Giannis is injured in this scenario. If Hawks had a healthy Trae out there, they'd be winning this game, then probably taking Game 7 too

[BeatDaCavs420]

LMAO at the Bucks not celebrating in the locker room. That was obviously planned due to how the Suns celebrated. So they trying to look macho lmfaoo

[Sactowndog]

Good season for the Hawks. They tried to do too much 1 v 1 when it mattered down the stretch instead of passing the ball. It’s a learning experience. The Bucks kept playing as a team and deserved the win.

Hawks have a lot to look forward to....

Our second best player didn't even PLAY in the series. Trae got taken out by a ref that refused to get out of his way. Cam Reddish just got cleared to come back and you saw when he did in his limited minutes.

You put those teams out there both fully healthy and the Hawks win the series in five games. No problems. Atlanta had the best record in the NBA once Nate took over as coach. That wasn't a fluke the Hawks made it to the conference finals. That's just a continuation of the team's play in the regular season extending into the playoffs.

The fact people apparently aren't even aware we didn't have our second best player the ENTRE last two rounds of the playoffs is just so typical of no matter how much the Hawks do on the court they get no respect or attention.

At some point the Hawks will have a lot of guys to resign especially if these guys hit their potential. I don't know if I value Collins as much as some other guys on the hawks.

The Hawks and Young got the whistle tonight. Not a good look here.

You're gonna be a fan of Young and complain about bad foul calls?

Sit down and just appreciate the year they had.
