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

[nate82]

Just me or does Portis get hacked a lot and no call is made?

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Huerter is aggravating.

[adambr2]

Forbes has been utterly useless today. You'd hope one of these bench gunners would have a day today and have the outside shot working. Hasn't happened.

[adambr2]

Would have loved that one, but still, good end to the quarter and good job that quarter of keeping them more than an arm's length away. One more. Fight to the end.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Well I thought we would need 2/3 of Lopez, Midds and Jrue to have a good game. Looks like we'll get 3/3.

[MrTPlush]

Great game for Lopez. With Giannis out he is the guy you’d expect and need to step up…he did that tonight to say the least.

[adambr2]

They've been able to sustain some really good outside shooting by Atlanta

[PeaveyFury]

Yeah, if the Bucks weren’t making shots on the other end, Atlanta would have closed this gap significantly with how they’re shooting.

[owbc]

At least if it goes to 7 we get it at home this time. I assume Trae will try to play game 6.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I'm not assuming anything with Trae because I never thought he'd miss a game. A deep bone bruise is a bad injury and could sideline you a month. I think it's going 7 regardless though, I thought we'd win tonight but I anticipate a dud in Game 6.

[DuWayne Steurer]

At least if it goes to 7 we get it at home this time. I assume Trae will try to play game 6.

 

We're gonna score 120 on them without him. He's gonna be hampered if he does play.

[nate82]

New drinking game every time Miller says Olympian you drink and every time he says medal you take a shot?

[adambr2]

Hawks try for one last rally ...Bobby Portis says, "Nah."

[homer]

Bucks in 6!

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Hawks had absolutely zero will to win tonight.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Hawks had absolutely zero will to win tonight.

 

Questionable take. They seem to put good effort and hit shots.

That's the joke

It's a fair joke/take too, but also understand that folks in the last game thread, which is already a reactionary hotbed, went from a place of joy and hope, to disappointment, to total and utter despair within the course of, oh, about 90 minutes.

[young guns]

2 games to win 1. I'm still feeling pretty conflicted on our chances overall, but nice to not quit at least.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I just hope they make 6 interesting to watch and aren't down by 20 the entire game.

[RobDeer 45]

Let’s go!!!!!! Great team win tonight. Hope Giannis is back next game.

[OldHeidelberg]

What is left of the Bucks should certainly be able to split with what is left of the Hawks. Of course if the Hawks win game 6 we will be despondent. Great win, the pressure is off now that they won without Giannis.

Guessing that Young plays or limps along for game 6…..

Yeah I factor that in but also assume that he won’t be 100%. Injuries suck in the playoffs, these games come fast.

[pacopete4]

Really great that they won this one. Sure hope they can get one more and move on.
