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

[Bruin]

The list of injured All Stars is ridiculous:

Sixers: Embiid
Nets: Irving and Harden
Jazz: Mitchell, Conley, and Gobert
Lakers: Lebron and AD
Hawks: Young (technically not an All-Star)
Suns: CP3 and Booker
Clippers: Leonard
Nuggets: Murray (technically not an All-Star)
Celtics: Brown

Mans really added Gobert to this injured list. You ain’t slick

The only injury Gobert had was his ego after getting exposed

Giannis calf effected his explosiveness this game more than traes ankle effected his chucking for a quarter

TBF Trae did look a bit off towards the end in a critical moment where as Khris took over the game, late. That “chucking for a quarter” is leaving out context. It’s the 4th quarter of a close game in the ECF lol.

The fact that flawed teams are making it very far in this specific playoffs make us see their weaknesses even more.

Bucks score easy but they have too many dumb plays as well. Otherwise it would be 3-0 and a much easier game 3.
Khris with 0-9 from 3 in game 1 is why Atlanta thought they had a chance this series.

Definitely feels like we stole one

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

man, some of you guys seem like you need a hug or something...

He or she is absolutely right - I'll thank you in advance for not insulting me personally like an unnamed Raptors 'fan' did

Don’t really get it. Sure there are loads of injuries but most are in the west. Yea they benefited that the colluding nets team got hobbled but they waxed the heat and are doing the same to the hawks who are the same level of health as the bucks.

And the 2 seed is still alive in the west.

And how do you think Giannis extra inflamed, tight calf felt after playing on it in relation to how it effect his explosive movements?

Now let’s think about how a newly inflamed ankle effects a much smaller player that relies a lot less on being explosive to be effective.

We’re talking about the context of what the player is feeling in relation to how that effects them playing the game. Keep up.

Since game 4 of the Philly series, Bogi is hitting 27% of his shots from the field and only 17% from 3...yet he continues to jack up nearly 9 shots a game.

This makes no sense, partly because all the other poster said was that injuries to the star players suck, and you acting as if he said that’s the only reason the bucks won the game, which he didn’t.

Truth is Trae did look hampered towards the end. He relies much on his speed and craftiness and so do the Hawks as Trae putting pressure on the defense opens up opportunities for them. Giannis could have been on cruise control all 4th quarter if he wanted, and he still had someone else(Khris) to step it up, where as Trae had a bigger duty

Silly comparison. Your context didn’t match what was said. You just became defensive for no reason

Okongwu is the only Hawk worth getting excited about. #KnuckIfYouBuck

Yeah he’s really killing the hawks on both ends. Really needed him with Hunter already out.

And Solomon Hill with a -21.1 ON/OFF in the playoffs before tonights game…. goes for 0 points in 15 minutes & -14. Absolutely terrible on both ends… confused why he keeps getting minutes.

My problem is your fanbase has crowned Giannis as a GOAT when he's lucky to be in the conf finals. Sorry to break reality to you

Reality is 2-1 in the conference finals.

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

Hell yea, finally!!

[okboomer]

Dont know about second chance points, but the Bucks were +15 on the boards tonight and +22 in the paint. It is tough to win you get out rebounded like that.

[Hello Brooklyn]

Bucks are so **** lucky. First they play Brooklyn with no Kyrie and Harden at 20%.

Now they get to play the Hawks with Trae Young on a bad ankle and Bogie at half strength.

Meanwhile they get to be completely healthy except for freaking Divincenzo lol.

[Hello Brooklyn]

With that being said, Middleton has been incredible.

I said the Bucks couldn't win the title because they needed an offensive creator besides Giannis. Turns out Middleton is that guy. Hes been way better than anyone expected.

Not much they can do with Trae injured.

Giannis has been hurt since game 2 of the Miami series, you just don't see him crying about it. And yeah, I guess having your starting 2 guard out isn't a big deal when you already have a short rotation of playable guys...
