2021 ECF. Bucks vs Hawks: UPDATE - - - BUCKS IN SIX

[young guns]

I was hoping with the Sunday game they would schedule it a little earlier in the afternoon. I don't want to wait.

I'm on night shift today so I'm fine that it's later. At least I'll get to watch the second half. Although in my line of work people tend to save their nonsense until you've only got 15 minutes to go in your shift.

The attention given to enforcing 10 second rules on Giannis is a bit ridiculous. Ok, he went 10.5 and they should blow the whistle? How about calling the lane violations that occur on every single free throw that can be rebounded, then?

 

Exactly. Not to mention as Hollinger has pointed out - this isn't something refs called all year so why are they making an issue with it now? This and the constant discussion of Giannis shooting 3s - we get it they aren't his best shot - has made Reggie Miller almost unlistenable. Trae young turns it over 9 tea and misses a ton of bad 3s and Reggie says almost nothing. Giannis takes 2 3s when we are up 30 and he talks about it for 5 minutes.

 

 

This is the thing I don't really understand. Giannis isn't a bad 3P shooter. He's OK. There's definitely a time he should knock it off, but him taking the occasional 3 is fine. There are lots of players better at driving to the hoop that take random 3s.

 

I think when it looks bad is when they give him 10 feet of space - he should use that space to drive.

 

100 percent agree

There's really nothing better in the NBA than watching the Knicks suck every single year despite the national media wishing with all their hearts for the Knicks to be good.

While the whole getting on Giannis for the 10 second violation is super annoying and dumb…it’s also kind of annoying an MVP (or any player) has had this violations called in big postseason moments and could have easily had it in other big moments. Figure out a <10 second routine in the offseason. Not worth getting burned when it matter over something, while dumb, is easily avoidable.

[Mr Southpaw]

Not the ugly uniforms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Can't be this bad for 48 minutes, right?

[Mr Southpaw]

Bad omen

[DuWayne Steurer]

Stop calling that a foul

[adambr2]

Absolutely embarrassing ourselves out there.

 

We're in trouble if we're going to be this bad on the road.

[homer]

Stop calling that a foul

 

Gee, didn't expect the refs to try and keep this close. Sheesh.

[adambr2]

Oh good, it's going to be one of those nights for Giannis at the line.

[homer]

If the Hawks shoot 70% or better from three, they will win. I am guessing that won't happen.

[MrTPlush]

Just cut it to 10 before the end of the quarter. That would be decent.

[adambr2]

If the Hawks shoot 70% or better from three, they will win. I am guessing that won't happen.

 

Us being 0% from 3 and 0% from the line isn't helping either.

[young guns]

One would expect them to come out with fire after being embarrassed. Just gotta weather the storm and stop playing like crap and we will be fine.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

We'll be fine. Just settle down.

[adambr2]

Hawks fans copying Nets fans is like the obnoxious fans who throw HRs back out on the field because they do at Wrigley.

[stoutdude04]

Those last two throws by Giannis were under 10. Crowd was at 12. Just for a semi gauge of length.

[adambr2]

Portis has played so well.

 

If Trae keeps chucking up shots like he's Michael Jordan it'll come back to bite them eventually.

[DuWayne Steurer]

How did that rim out??

[stoutdude04]

Howd that not fall for Giannis.

[DuWayne Steurer]

If young wants to fire up 30 footers you let him and take your chances

[homer]

Down 5 after all that? I"ll take it.

[adambr2]

Trae annoys me. Bogdanovic annoys me. It didn't take much for me to dislike Atlanta.
