    I get that the base sets for both teams revolve around an injured star and star who is out of the game. But fact that the Bucks don't have a couple sets that they can run in their sleep and settle themselves down, is a testament to poor coaching.

    I'm with Chuck. At this point, they should keep Lopez as the center of their offense right now. He may be the most consistent scorer they have.

    Didn't really mean Trae, but all the others. They are at home, but DG, Bog, Huerter, Collins are all short consistently.

    Chuck: Dumb Bucks. 18 shots in the paint, 56%. 19 threes, 26%. After that dominant performance the other night — 60 points in the paint — they’re back to their old selves. They’re not very smart. I just don’t understand it. I just don’t understand. It’s frustrating man.

    He correct though. Instead of feeding the post and playing inside/out, Holiday keeps driving without a plan ending up with wild passes and TO or Middleton acts like he has never dribbled a basketball before.

    Giannis has been holding Middleton back.

    Looks like this is one of the nights when Middleton can't miss.

    This might be as far as the Hawks go pending a miracle.

    Yeah but he is super streaky and it only started this quarter; he might lose it in the 4th.

    Also Hawks shooters and prior playoff comebacks mean you cannot count them out even if Tra3 is not 100%. Especially if Reddish can keep being super productive on both ends. Sad about his minutes restriction.

    Atlanta is just this bad. Don't overthink it.

    So, will PJ Tucker challenge John Starks 0-11 single game 3 pointer misses record in a Finals game if Giannis cannot play?

    The league has somewhat retrogressed in terms of musculatur these last couple of seasons. Jordan is so jacked at that point in his career. He was a freight train when it was all said and done and no wonder he couldn't be stopped on the drive.

    Trae killing the Hawks right now.

    Thinking he needs to play hero ball -> bad shot selection.

    surprised how well the Bucks are playing without Giannis. Giannis nerfed this whole team because he plays only one way.

    PJ with a clutch 3.
