Dreadful, terrible, embarrassing execution, coaching, and effort in that half. They better do some serious soul searching at halftime. They have zero excuse to lose this game.
This is kinda ridiculous. I didn't see this as a must win two days ago, but Young being out kind of changes the complexion of everything. If you can't take control of the series with the Hawks not having Trae Young, that's a pretty enormous confidence lift to a team that already stole a game on our court.
Is Arenado definitely opting out? Still major risk in doing so. He's been pretty adamant that he doesn't plan to. The Flaherty injury really derailed their season at least to this point. There indeed isn't much depth for them to fall back on.
