Game Thread: Bucks vs Hawks Game 6

[ACGB]

So I buy a single ticket last night because I thought I had no one to go with, and now someone takes off of work, buys two tickets and asks me to go. Now I need to try and sell my ticket.

Think there will be anyone out there that wants 1 ticket?

Hey guys, I've been a long time reader of this forum and I finally made an account. Me and my buddy will be making the drive from UW-Whitewater to yell our heads off on Friday! So unbelievably pumped for this game! Fear the Deer Baby!

I am surprised at how many pundits are still predicting the Hawks to win the series in 7 games. Especially given their less than stellar road record.

There is no doubt that the Hawks have superior talent. They should win every single match up. The Hawks are bigger and stronger at every position. The Bucks still need to overcome the Hawks superior size and athleticism. Plus, the Hawks have more playoff experience, more experience as a team and they are a better shooting team.

Remarkably, somehow, sKiles has convinced his team and 18,717 fans with tickets to game 6 that the Bucks can win.

That is amazing. Who ever expected the Bucks to A-finish over .500, B-make the playoffs, C-win in the playoffs, D-win a playoff series and advance to the second round?

This Bucks team deserves our support. They deserve sell out crowds. They deserve fans at airports. They deserve Squad 6 and soccer cheers. They have done more than any of us ever thought was possible. They have not given up.

The BC fan support can knock the Hawks back on their heels. The Hawks know that they struggle on the road. They are likely preparing themselves for the kind of fan support that the Bucks had in games 3 & 4. Hopefully Bucks fans can be an even louder force in game 6 and provide the home court advantage that would further unnerve Atlanta. A home court advantage that they will not be prepared to withstand. A noise level and craziness that makes games 3 & 4 seem calm.

The Hawks are front runners. They strut and blow teams out when things are going good. They struggle when they face adversity. They seem to fall apart and blame each other. They will be tough to beat if Woodsen can get them in the proper frame of mind. But get them down, have them hear an avalanche of fan support for the Bucks, have them become disheartened by the Bucks defense, and they will wilt.

Hopefully this can all start when the two teams take the floor. Hopefully the fans will be in their seats, not wandering the concourse looking for a shorter beer line.

Be there.

I'm sneaking in the ole Bacardi Lemon and gatorade.

i heard michael redd's gonna try to suit up for this one. more to come.

That's Brad Ness, captain of the Australian Rollers who won gold in Beijing. He lost his lower leg at 18 when he was working on a commercial fishing trawler. The boat tried to leave the dock before a mooring rope was untied. The rope unfortunately wrapped around Brad's ankle and it was chopped clean off. The guy is a big, mean unit with a massive heart and a really nice bloke off the court.

I'm trying to think of a way to compare Michael Redd with Ness but all I can think of is that Brad would definitely be at the playoffs with his teammates if he had a dud knee

[Bucksfan28]

Well we proved we can win a game without shooting great from the field. And on the road nonetheless. The BC will be goin nuts tomorrow. LETS GO BUCKS!

One point that Charles Barkley brought up that I feel is a good one. For the first time this series, the pressure's on the Bucks. It'll be interesting to see how they come out tomorrow night.

[rilamann]

If the Hawks play at the same level in game 6 that they played at last night in game 5 they will lose by 20 at least.

The scary thought about that (for Hawks fans) is the fact the Hawks where playing at home in game 5 obviously.

I don't want to say this game is a lock or that we will blow them out but given the Hawks road record in the playoffs I can't see how the Hawks don't blown out when taking what I just mentioned into consideration.

[ACGB]

I don't think a mentally weak, beaten down, low confidence hawks team can come into what is going to be an absolute mad house and pull out a win. Of course I'm a gigantic pessimist so I can't help but feel in the back of my mind like they are going to end up winning.

There is some pressure on the Bucks but there's still a lot more pressure on the Hawks going into game 6.

This Bucks team strikes me as the type that would thrive under pressure,almost like pressure would be a good thing for them.

Just a gut feeling I have since we haven't really seen this team play under much pressure this season.

Hawks fan here: Well guys congrats on beating my terrible team. I hope you give Orlando all they can handle and i will definitely be rooting for the Bucks. Also congrats on having an excellent coach who makes adjustments during the game and having players with tons of heart. My Hawks are pathetic in the worst way and this series is COMPLETELY over at this point. We have the worst coach in the NBA and it's been clearly seen now with this series along with a bunch of gutless, whining players. The only good thing that will come out of the Hawks choking in this series is that Woodson will finally be gone so we can get a real coach in here like Skiles with an actual offensive/defensive gameplan. Congrats again on making the Hawks looks pathetic. Good luck with Orlando!

[trwi7]

Both teams have a ton of pressure. The Bucks want to close it out now so they don't have to go back to Atlanta. The Hawks have a ton of pressure for obvious reasons. Win or go home.

[Cold Crush 24]

Nice words from a Hawks fan but in the words of Brandon Jennings It aint over yet. We still gotta get one more. Mentally we can not move on just yet. Lets stay focussed on the task at hand.

I saw the TNT shot of the Atlanta Hawks in a timeout and it looked by all appearances that the coach has lost the players. The Bradley Center is ten times louder than Phillips Arena. The players will feed off that energy. We have nothing to lose. We weren't supposed to have gone this far. Everyone counted us out. The Bucks will feed off the crowd energy and want to prove they can play. The Hawks are the ones with their backs against the wall. They have made adjustments, but not enough. And get them frustrated, the flagrant fouls and technicals will be out in full force Friday night. I said if we could steal a victory Wednesday night in Atlanta, we win the series. I'm standing by that. What makes anyone think Atlanta will turn their road playoff fortunes now? It is possible but doubtful in my opinion.
