“Been There. Done That. Made The T-Shirt!”   The Hawks had the Bucks dead-to-rights. In their house, Atlanta’s Omni Coliseum. The prize that awaited Atlanta was a date with destiny. The

Tough loss.  The officiating was not good.  When Gallo got hacked on a three attempt right in front of the ref and no call?  And that's only one example.  I have no words on why the ref was that close

Limit TOs, Rebound the ball, get back on defense.  I'll say the same thing I did vs Sixers - get Trae going downhill faster to avoid playing against the Bucks half court defense.

You already know why what I think which is what you think. I am saying, this is why Nate plays him. He trust Solo but Solo isn't getting it done. Everyone can see it.

And this is why Solo can't be on the team next year. For some reason, coaches seemingly fall in love with certain players and stick with them too long even when outside logic dictates alternatives. Can't wait for that scrub to be off the team.

That said, if I'm ever in dark alley and need protection or a bodyguard, I'd look for Solo. On the court to play meaningful minutes in a real NBA game...

Bogi was moving better as the announcers mentioned but why was his shot so off. Anything a bit better than 3-16 and we have a chance.

He was moving better most of  the 1st half but he was different in the second half. His shot had touch in the 1st half but was horrible in the second half which to me shows his knee started hurting. He was straight trash in the second half.

Tough game, very tough.  I went to the game so didn't get to catch most of the replays... felt like they were some really bad missed calls this game, and the ref refusing to move out of Trae's way on the sideline was the icing on top.  Props to OO, his +/- looks bad bc Middleton turned into MJ when he was on the floor but he played Giannis super well and overall had a great game.  I know Nate is trusting the guys that got us here but give me some Reddish minutes, please.  Someone that can man up on Middleton/Holiday and match the athleticism on the Bucks... it's not like his replacement value can be any lower than Solo and Bogi shooting 3/16.

Overall, I felt we played a lot better than Friday but they still got a ton of easy buckets, mostly from almost all of their offensive matchups being favorable.  Shocking to say this but I think Kev has been the most impactful defender and our second best player.  Gallo up there too but he's a traffic cone any time he's really attacked.  I really hope we can get a win in game 4 -- I'm afraid if we lose we get the gentlemen sweep in game 5.

Coaches like when guys do what they ask but the issue is, in this type of quality of play, you can't have scrubs on the floor.

His shot not falling has nothing to do with his knee

Huh? How is that even possible. Have you ever had a bad knee and shot the basketball? You have no lift. Nah bro, it’s effecting him. 
 

He is a streaky shooter at times that is true.

Why does he shoot so much then if he has a problem affecting his accuracy then?

When he said, he's sticking with the same rotation and it was the same 9 men rotation. Cam is not in it. 

Ok. I thought he said something in his post game presser. Hope he's asked about it.

Yep, what use is BBiQ and Energy and smarts if it's giving us 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0? Rather see Cam for those 15 minutes and live with those results.

0/0/0/0/0/0/3  don't forget the fouls he committed

I can't believe bro said that. That was worse than the Capela is an overrated defender thread

He has to.  He's on the floor and he's open.  We have to be taking open shots... the problem is he's on the floor at all.

Sean Wright scouting report but it doesn’t mention: STEPPING ON PLAYER’S FEET 🦶!!  :angry2: 

Sean Wright is in the middle of the pack of referees with missed calls in the NBA’s last two minute report. He has been one of the lead refs tweeting during games to try and give fans a way to vent their frustrations over missed calls. This was part of the NBA official referees #RefWatchParty campaign.

He takes the 2nd most shots on the team.  Some time he shoots it when he isn't open like that fast break.

He seems to not think its a problem since he shoots as much as he does.

If he didn’t he’d be Solo.

He shoots more than Huerter!

Ya man Peo strikes me as someone whose played but when you make comments like that you act like you don’t know anything about basketball. And I know he does.

Your knee plays a massive role when you consider he's playing within the game. He might be fine doing shootaround but he gotta move, defend, get space, that makes a lot of energy 

 

Only the freaks like Curry can do it with a knee injury
