Excuse me while I go troll Realgm about Cam Reddish and their hottakes.  I'll be back in a day or two. I might get banned.

It's going to take a lot to keep Trae out of game 5.   Nate may limit his minutes to something silly... like 15 minutes. 

If Giannis is out, KEEP HIM OUT. Let that foot heal. This is looking like this may not be the last series the Hawks play this postseason. He absolutely will be needed later.

I could see him being a decoy to draw a double n get bogi open

[JTB]

Did bud really try to put Giannis back in the game ???!!!

I mean I get that’s not our concern but what a selfish and stupid move to attempt if true.

About the Bucks...

We have seen this before.   A team that sometimes play down to their competition. 

Giannis came out and he didn't want to play.  I mean his first shot was a fall away.  His second was a three pointer.   In the third he came out on fire but I think it would have subsided.  Now with the hyperextension, I don't know if he can be that athletic.   Our guys can't take GM 5 for grant... This is Philly like.. we got to go into their house and take their heart.   Then win on our court in game 6.

Watch the game before you criticize the Bucks.  The Hawks played some defense tonight!

Understood but something was lacking in that team tonight. I'm watching a replay of it now (thank God for my 'sources')...

So I'll cop. I did watch the last four minutes of this one. Sue me.

Let me get this straight. They kept Trae out of the ballgame and still blew the doors off when everyone and their grandparents bet the farm on the Bucks?

I thought that Milwaukee was made of sterner stuff. They ought to be ashamed of themselves for that putrid performance. I'll gladly take it of course but oh boy. They truly thought that they could roll out the basketball tonight, win by 27, then finish them in five. I have a deep suspicion that they'll deeply regret mailing it in when they find themselves down in the series and wondering why. Oh well, that's a them problem.

So much for the Bucks being a superior team and having some supposed 'gear' that the Hawks can't reach; they can be had if the Hawks play like thots. And if Trae comes back remotely effective and healthy, with Bogdanovic looking better, well...

Hawks go Hard and Deep pause

[benhillboy]

Has Gwu Tang slick changed the series?    Giannis went from beasting to struggling in an instant.  Whoever taught that boy defensive stance, balance, leverage, and anticipation give that man a hand.

[terrell]

Welcome to the Reddishtentiary Khris Middleton......

I will admit I did clamor for more playing time for Dunn because of his "defense", but I didn't realize he was that dookie butter offensively.

I think the Bucks expected the Hawks to lie down like they did after Trae went out last game. They defended Lou differently than they did Trae and they werent prepared to defend a non-Trae team. the Hawks played defense....and yeah NO Solo

Missed the game partly due to some bad news, but it looks like an impressive win.

Can they win the series now if Gannis is out?

Can it sorta be like a Rocky Balboa situation where the favorite gets an injury and leaves the door open?

 

Hope all is well. Sorry to hear that brother

You must have missed like that one game he played lol. 

[ATLHawks3]

Also, Reddish had Middleton in the Gulag tonight. His activity was infectious.

Hawks were in total control before the Giannis injury.
