The refs screwed you? Just wait until next season when they no longer let Trae jump into the side of the defenders to draw fouls.

Freak injury robbed us of an epic Middleton-Trae 4th quarter duel

The Hawks blew this game.

I don't understand their offensive plan in the 4th quarter - and I don't think they do either. They just lacked decisiveness. One example is often a player (Collins for ex.) will have post up position & Huerter would fake pass multiple times, pick up his dribble and then look to pass again - but by this time it was already read by the Bucks, so it may take them an extra 5 seconds just to get into this basic set. That's my biggest pet peeve w/ Huerter I saw several times tonight - he picks up his dribble before being set to pass.

The above might seem like a minor thing but it's one example of their lack of execution in the 4th. Collins made 6 of 8 shots - Why were more plays not drawn up for him to attack the bucks in the post or on rolls to the rim?

And why was Capela not put back in the game in the 4th too?

Of course Trae's ankle played a factor, but Huerter/Bogi as the other ball handlers could have stepped up. They didn't.

Reality is this is the biggest cakewalk to the finals in nba history. Everything that could go the bucks way has to this point.

Same reason Nash kept going with Harris and Harden, too much loyalty and afraid of pissing off the player.

Harden I can understand, but players like Harris and Bogie are not high salaried tier A players. A coach does not owe them any playing time. If they play poorly, they should be taken out of the game.


Next game is series for the Hawks. Nate should not be brought back as coach if he plays Bogie another 35 mins after what he has done so far. just because you are playing with house money, it doesn't mean you shouldn't try to win

Barkley said the Bucks are better than the Suns.

Not sure I agree on that. Suns match up well with the Bucks.
