Why are you making lame excuses? No Giannis and they beat us handily, twice. They are the better team, period. Are you seriously making the case that the Hawks are the better team?

No, no they are not. We had the best record in the NBA once Nate took over as coach. If we were fully healthy and they were fully healthy we easily beat the Bucks. I say we beat them in five games to be nice but I honestly think we'd sweep them. They aren't getting anything with a healthy Hunter and Cam out there.

Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday are extremely good at Basketball 

They completely owned us and we had no answer for them.

Evidently you cannot or did not read where he said he wasn't looking for a max contract.

These guys seem to forget that John won 3 playoff games by himself in that Philly series with his late offensive rebounding and clutch 3 point shooting

I'm honestly disgusted by the  completely one sided officiating in this series especially the last two games. Every time we got a run going or made a play BAM here's a BS call by the refs that always went the Bucks way.

Me too Soth. It's infuriating when they can hack us every trip down but we can't breath on them. 

That late foul on Cam looked like good D and shoulda been outta bounds off Jrue from what I saw.

What have you been watching these last games?

Nothing but respect for the Atlanta Hawks.  Great effort by all to make this season what it was.

You know what it is.  On to the next one.

We do have two answers for them, but one is hurt, Hunter, and the other, Cam Reddish, can only cover one at a time and is on a minutes restriction.  You don't have to trash the Hawks to uplift the bucks.

His man had 27/9/9  When did he stop him??? 

Most of those were drives in the paint. Poor rim protection on that part, plus he kept attacking Trae cause of that bum ankle. Were we watching the same game?

Bogi won us a couple too.

I think he meant prior to this latest injury.

Nope Trae did well against the few time he guarded him unlike Bogi.  Those drive are not suppose to happen if you are playing good defense

He didn't win any playoff games for the Hawks ever!

I'm not trashing the Hawks. Great season. But we got punched in the mouth twice, despite no Giannis. Did you expect us to lose twice in a row with no Giannis after game 4? No you didn't and nor did I. Great season, but disappointing ending to the ECF. 

[aali34]

Season just ended and instead of celebrating the team's accomplishment that no-one expected going into the year, we got people scapegoating and wanting to ship out players.

 See 6:42 without that shot to tie the game,  I believe you were on hiatus during this time though so you may not have seen it.  There was also several big shots in the Philly series during the comebacks. Let me know if you want me to pull those for you.

[AHF]

The only reason we were within single digits in the fourth were because of Bogi and Cam.  They were by far our best offensive players tonight.  
 

Both 7-12 for 20 and 21 points.  Tied for #3 on the team in assists.  
 

If the rest of the team would have matched them, we would have won this one.  Trae was a shadow of himself - appreciate his guts in competing but he was ineffective.  
 

Credit to the Bucks two vet All-Stars.  They played extremely well.

I was thinking more in terms of regular season.

Thank you @lethalweapon3 for 18 wonderful postseason threads as well. Nothing but the best.

With no Trae and an injured Trae in Game six.  I wasn't expecting sunshine and roses.
