Refs had better be prepared to call this tonight.

Hawks frustrated with officiating
So, why does this matter now? Because sources say the Atlanta Hawks are not happy that the league is continuing to look the other way on the matter in the Eastern Conference Finals. In the Hawks’ Game 1 116-113 win over the Bucks on Wednesday, Antetokounmpo — by the Hawks’ internal count — ranged between 11.5 seconds and 13.3 seconds on his eight attempts but wasn’t whistled once.

We already know the last 2 minute report stated as much.

It's **** joke that the refs allow him to do a 5 second pre routine before even giving him the ball. Giannis even sits there telling the ref to hold onto the ball so he can complete his routine. Then he gets the ball and takes another 13 seconds to do his other routine. Disgusting that the league allows this. What happened to trying to speed up the game? Refs should give him the ball as soon as they can and then start the 10 second count.

We're obviously going to lose tonight, right? We've gotten destroyed in both previous game 2s.

IMO, its impossible to not let off the gas a tiny bit after winning game 1 as an underdog on the road. You go into those games hoping to split and get home court advantage. Then when you win the first it's only human nature to subconsciously let up a bit once you've accomplished a goal. Especially with a young inexperienced team like the Hawks.

I'll be pleasantly shocked and surprised if we stay within single digits tonight when the game is still on the line.

If they think taking one of these two first game is enough, then I hope they will not play Bogi at all this game to get him fresh in Game3.
They can also take this opportunity to let play Cam and make him getting rhythm, and see if he can help in this series at one point.

Not sure it's the best thing to not try to win this one, but in case they don't come with the same will and think they need to keep some forces, I would absolutely play Cam and let Bogi on the bench.
It would also allow other bench players to get more touches and be more ready for the next games

If Bogi looks like did in Game 1 he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the floor.

It must be enforced.
It's the damn postseason and the refs must do their job. 10 seconds is plenty of time.

Jason Collins Over or Under 16.5 points.

Over or Under 17.5 Points and Assists is an option too.

I took the over 16.5 game one.

Hawks are truly desperate if they're putting in Reddish, on the road, in the conference finals, down 16.

I'd strongly reccomend Hawks pursue one of the young centers in Orlando to back up Capela. Mo Bamba's size would be a nice luxury to throw against Portis and Giannis in this series.

Or just Wendell Carter's brute strength.

Okongwu, at only 6'8", is simply too small.
