Official Game Thread: Hawks at Bucks -- ECF GAME 1

I mean at this point....put Snell in instead of Bogi

[benhillboy]

The Buck are a real causal team though.  They’re ripe to get hit in the mouth by a patented fourth quarter onslaught.

[RedDawg#8]

Bucks offense simplified:

Drive and kick out or drive and dump off. They read the help defender and find the open man.

Detailed:

Jrue, high ball screen, looking for his shooters or the lane.

Middleton, high ball screen, looking to score. Rarely passes out

Giannis, high ball screen to dunk or pass. Mid post to get to the rim or dump it off underneath.

Everyone else is setting screens or spotting up. They are also really good at finding Giannis after the defense starts rotating

TNT trying to coach up the Bucks already? They still haven't learned. It's all about what the Bucks are doing wrong. This is getting cringe at this point.

Could be worse.

Great half by Trae.  But he definitely needs help.

Milwaukee showing their offensive versatility right now.

 

Looks like we're going to have to be on offensively, to beat this Bucks team in this series.

After 2 grind it out type series, we may have to score 115+ to win these games.

Need more from collins and huert

[bleachkit]

Trae has 25 and we down 5. Need other guys to step up. 

[aali34]

Some of that Collins aggression would be useful in the second half.

[smoove31210]

Hopefully we can just steal 1 of these games in Milwaukee...injuries may be to much to overcome for us in this series

[NBASupes]

Nate don't want to win this game 

[Bonkers]

Nate is making Bogi's knee worse by continuing to play him

 

What a shame. I thought u were better than that Nate

It is literally a lose-lose

[Peoriabird]

8 assist and 8 turnovers!  And this is with the Buck weak defense

[RedDawg#8]

Don't fall for their first half intensity. They are about to start jacking up shots after halftime led by Giannis in attack mode and the defense on it's heels. We have to set the tone with our physicality. They don't want to bang, we need to hit them in the chest.

[FL_BRYANT]

Lack of physicality is killing the Hawks in the paint. Giving up too many points at the rim.

[Thomas]

Remember once upon a time Snell hit a game winner with the clock running out with the ball in the air. Remember that 5 for 5 threes in a game. How bout he give us some of that stuff. With Nate's permission of course because Bogi (who I love usually) is damaged in maybe more than one way right now. Bucks are daring us to shoot the three. Bury them with it.

The bad:  Trae is having to carry too much load on offense. Bogi needs to sit. Too many careless turnovers.

The good: Trae is making his shots.  Milwaukee is who I thought they are. Giannis and Lopez think they are shooting guards. Outside of Middleton, the rest of the Bucks can be contained. The Hawks SHOULD have a easier time in this series than the 76er series.

 

Bucks are shooting 52% FG. 

We're not containing them, unless they miss their 3s.  

 

Game 1 is a feeling out game.  Let's hope they keep it close and see what happens in the 4th quarter.

Nate said we were a step slow who knows why does kinda feel like we are in our heels waiting to see what they are doing

We definitely hit them with one during the regular season not too long ago. Let’s repeat

[Atlantaholic]

This game is so winnable but we can't be playing 4/5 out there with one legged Bogi.
