Official Game Thread: Bucks at Hawks -- ECF GAME 3

[TheNorthCydeRises]

All that good work . . and we're tied.

Not good.

 

It's not ALL Solo's fault.  But he just doesn't give us anything, including defense.  He's too small.

Seven points straight by the Bucks to tie it up at the half. Man...

So Giannis isn't this amazing offensive player!

On pace for 32 points.  We need to make life harder for him but this isn’t far off his average.  He has a limited but deadly offensive repertoire.

[Lurker]

I mean, Bud's defensive system cuts off the paint, we should all know that.

Hawks played a pretty good half and the reward was a tie into halftime. Not good, not good at all...like I said last night, this is a bad matchup for this team.

[NBASupes]

We are playing like idiots. Why does Nate love Solo so much 

[Atlantaholic]

WTF was that end of the half

[Iverwig]

Need Trae and Kevin to be aggressive on offense. The team defense needs to be better.

I knew Portis was gonna be a thorn in our side.  Kid can flat out play.

We should sign him this summer 

[RandomFan]

Remind me, didn't we just have a 10 point lead with around 2 minutes left in the half? SMH...

[Atlantaholic]

We have a mismatch downlow every single posession. How about we exploit that?

[hawkman]

This isn't good. They took a decent punch from the Hawks and the the game is still tied at the half. Can't make any mistakes against these guys because there's zero margin for error. This is a must win game.

Solo -11

Too small, too slow, too limited.  He is a great guy to have in your 11-15 spots in your rotation, not your 6-10.

They aren't guarding the guy half the time.  Certainly not giving him as much attention as they are giving Holiday

[REHawksFan]

This game pisses me off so f'n much. So many careless plays. Hawks should be up 5-7 pts at a minimum. 

[volman]

Referees kept this game close. 

[Dnice]

Choking towards halftime...

Not going to live by 30 foot shots

Yah, what is the thought?  Can we just not penetrate their D?  We're shooting 25% from 3 pt range.  If the Trae can't penetrate the paint it seems our offensive solution is shoot a long 3.  I think that's my main complaint about Nate.  They are playing tight D on try and not allowing the pick and roll or double pick.

Hard to win when you got a zero on offense in Hill who's a zero on defense and you got a zero on offense if it's not for Trae's oops in Capela 

[Lurker]

Oh and as an insult to injury, the Bucks were cold from three to boot in that half.

This feels like a loss to be honest.
