Trae Young is such a hard cover that him not being the game resulted in the Bucks not being focused and intense on D so they underestimated the depth of that Hawks roster.

While Bud is average there are many coaches that are below average. I doubt Milwaukee is willing yo give away free money to coaches like other teams are (Indiana one year and done).

He only has 1 year left. They can for sure eat it especially given their lack of success. It's not like he has 2-3 yrs left.
If (and it's just an if) Bucks FO decided that Bud isn't the coach for them, then keeping him because of his contract (especially with just 1 year left) is just throwing good money after bad.

Remember when KD came back too early and hurt his achilles?
Happy that Giannis didnt get a major injury, but rushing him back too soon opens it up for a big risk

Giannis injury should help Bud some, while he is explaining himself to jon Horst and Peter feigin why he shouldn’t be fired.

Guessing now Suns/Hawks Finals. Who would have imagined that at the start of the season?
Phoenix looking good for the title, IMO. I won't count out the Hawks, though, if Trae heals up.
Don't want to give up on the Hawks, but Giannis is so central to everything they do not sure the team can recover from that. And I don't think the Clips have the bodies/endurance to take 2 more games from the Suns.
I'm not overlooking the Bucks, but I don't see why everyone is crowning the Sun's in a Hawks/Suns matchup. The Suns have yet to beat a healthy team in these playoffs. I think folks are going to be surprised, yet again, if Trae, Bogie and Cam are all healthy in a Suns vs Hawks series.
Obviously have the get past the Bucks first, but if they do I think they are favorites.
People really under estimate how much veteran players contribute to winning. We're seeing it in both series right now. Clippers should be dead, but they have veteran while the Suns only have two guys that have been the playoffs. You saw their offense and defense break down the last two games when the pressure increased.
Likewise the Hawks have been a very poised team this post season, and a lot of that has to do with the fact that they signed all those terrible, no good rotten veterans to horrific contracts in the offseason. Guys like Bogy, Galo, and Lou have stepped up big time, and been playing like they've been there before (because they have).
If it is Suns/Hawks I don't see the Suns having a way to enforce their game too much.

I don't how it is physically possible for someone's knee to hyperextend to that degree and not have ligament damage but that's great news. I don't want to see anyone get hurt.

And on top of that, if Giannis plays he’s gonna be extremely limited without his explosiveness
Would be smart to just keep him out and not risk any long term damage
