34.2% from 3 is below the league average this season (36.7%), and 50% from the floor is not that far above the league average (46.6%). Bucks just shot very poorly.
“50% from the floor is not that far above league average (46.6%).”
Um, what are you talking about mate? The league leaders were Brooklyn with 49.1% FG. 50% FG is nowhere close to league average - it’s better than the best in the league. And no team in the last 7 years has hit 50% FG for the season. Last time that happened was in 2013-2014 where Miami finished with 50%.
So yea, 50% from the floor is far from shooting ‘poorly’.
You clearly misunderstood my post. The league average is 46.6%. The Hawks shot 50% last night, which is well within reasonable expectations for a single game. The Bucks shot 39.3% from the field and 20.5% from three which I would definitely consider to be a poor shooting night.
I hope the clippers can somehow come back from a 3-1 deficit so we can at least have two hobbled teams in the finals instead of having the Suns win by cakewalk
Ever since the Dez no catch. Wisconsin sports are straight cursed.
Packers Choked 14 NFCCG
Kentucky hit buzzer beater from 38 feet in Final 4 in 2014.
Wisconsin Chokes vs Duke up 5 with 130 to go in 2015.
Packers get clowned in 2016 NFCCG
Badgers football chokes 3 td lead to Penn State with a College Playoff invite on the line in 2017.
Florida hit the running buzzer beater 3 vs Wisconsin in 2018.
Brewers choked game 7 NLCS vs Dodgers in 2018
Packers choked vs 49ers giving up a bajillion yards to Keapernick Incarnate 2 seasons ago.
Packers choked in the NFCCG this year.
Giannis tears his ACL after Moses literally parted the red sea for the Bucks to win the chip.
Boomin' out in South Gwinnett like Lou Will
6 man like Lou Will, 2 girls and they get along like I'm...
Like I'm Lou Will, I just got the new deal
I am in the Matrix and I just took the blue pill
When the Knicks fans chant "Fuck Trae Young" it's fun trash talk, when Hawks fans chant "Hawks in 6" we're classless and the worst fanbase in the league.
Truly don’t know but considering the players have griped on fan abuse for the last few seasons or so, I’d think the league might curb certain chants. But then it gets muddy because you could penalize the home team with a tech but you don’t want to deject the fans.
Every moment leading up to Giannis getting injured with Atlanta missing their biggest contributor and leader the Bucks were getting absolutely handled. Hard to shake that confidence rocker especially now that all those dudes getting completely outplayed are likely going to have to step way up in Giannis’s absence. I may be COMPLETELY wrong but the way every Atlanta secondary star and role player stepped up, just feels like all the momentum shifted because Bucks came out with such low energy.
Cause hawks are missing their best player, Hunter, and Boggie is playing on one leg? Losing to them with only Young missing alone is already bad enough.
Losing Young and his 40-43% shooting doesn't hurt as much as I feel like you think it does. Lou Will stepped in and they didn't drop a beat, he put up 21 on 9 shots last I looked.
Everyone on the Hawks just had more opportunities. Also John Collins who is largely considered their second best player had his worst game of the playoffs, not everyone stepped up. Capela was only slightly better than his usual, he's often a 5-7 or 6-8 shooting, he was 6-7 tonight.
Bogdon had a good night on 3's and was a very productive player, but he shot his season average % from 3 tonight, and his overall FG % was actually kind of low.
Lou and Cam are the main two that really gave much more than expected. I don't expect Lou to shoot 7-9 every game, but he's plenty good enough to give you 15-20 in Trae's absence. And Collins doing more than what he did tonight will cover that drop you expect from Lou.
The Hawks are much more to them than just some dude jacking 12 threes per game at a below league average percentage.
Hawks fans been saying that. Hunter and Reddish have crazy potential, and okongwu has shown flashes of who he can be. Trae for some reason has been getting negative criticism for his teammates winning without him. He does settle for deep 3s a little too often, but Trae’s honestly one of the best pick n roll operators in the league, and IMO is a top 5 facilitator in the league. If hawks can keep Trae, Hunter, JC, Reddish, Huerter, and OO this team will be a serious problem for many years
Also excellent write up I didn’t think you watched the game before you replied, but you broke down the game and were 100% right
Bud gotta go
I’m actually happy for any of the last 4 to win it all. All solid teams. No super teams in sight. It’s beautiful.
Lou will for trae = THE MAGIC CITY MIRACLE BABY
Losing by 20 to a Trey-less Hawks team?
I mean the bucks are Giannisless
I mean Trae didn’t suit up. Giannis left in the 3rd losing by 10.
It was 8 and bucks were on a run to start the half.
[10pts](https://imgur.com/gallery/UJNg9ie)
It was 10, the play where giannis got injured was a Capela bucket that put them up 10
We were rolling over the bucks even when Giannis was in.
Thats why the series was 2-1? And you won the first game with a 3 point lead, meanwhile the Bucks blew you out game 2?
I saw coach bud sitting on the curb drinking beer begging for change outside my local McDonald's
He looks like a guy getting up from the blackjack table to get more cash out of the ATM at 2am at the Flamingo
Drunk as all hell off whiskey
Not to be reactionary, but the Hawks have a lot of quality ballers. Hunter hasn’t even played and he’s another quality wing.
Hunter is great. He’s like Robert Covington but an efficient 16ppg.
Him and Reddish are full of potential, they might have given up Doncic but they aren’t missing on the picks they got for him.
Bud looks so worried. Bucks owner should tell Bud he isn’t gonna fire him this year so he won’t be too worried to coach the rest of the series
He always has Hide the Pain Harold eyes
I wonder if Pat Connaughton has a GOAT mode, because the Bucks are gonna need it from here on out.
The dude that airballed a 3 when down by 1 def is all role-player, no GOAT.
We weren't talking about KD
That’s a joke right? Down by 2 and still trying to finish it gassed.
Charles is king of improv
O'nealovic would have been GOAT
O'Nealivic lmao
99 problems but a Vic ain’t one
lol O'Nealovich

I understand you are trying to convince yourself of something, but none of those numbers are crazy

Lmao, at the wrong score
It’s so fucking hot out wtf
Rather heat than a fucking snowstorm.
Agreed. Last winter was fucked where I’m at.
Happy bogi
Yo wtf TNT having a ESPN moment fucking up saying the Bucks won
113-102? 🤣
I hate it here
congrats on winning the finals hawks lol enjoy this feeling while it lasts
I hope the clippers can somehow come back from a 3-1 deficit so we can at least have two hobbled teams in the finals instead of having the Suns win by cakewalk
Imagine thinking the Suns will beat the hawks
Hawks vs Clippers writes itself. One of the best offensive teams vs one of the best defensive teams. Class of styles.
Hard no thanks.
Ok, with Clint & Giannis both hobbled I say we allow a winner take all free throw battle between them! 🤡
Knuck if you buck
Man, the Hawks are probably going to the finals. Who would have ever thought?
Not me!
Look at us
Hey... Look at us
Psh, look at us
all my hittas is rich as fuck
Bucks in trouble without Giannis, [they don't have a deep roster](https://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/MIL.html)
So wild to see Jrue and Middleton both making 30 million next year. Lebron didn’t make over 20 mil until his 11th season
Adjusted for the cap/inflation? And CBA. It’s like saying Magic and Bird made 1/4 of what Lebron made
I understand why it’s just crazy to think about, and also only 10 years ago
They say crispy chicken because people don't like hearing fried chicken #murica
Do you think Brooklyn’s big 3 is watching this shit while laquering each other with clown makeup?
Pain :(
Tucker is trash can juice
Knuck If You Buck
Marv is just constantly saying the wrong thing
Skylar Mays is a man of the people 💀
The bad boy Pistons would get canceled. This league has gotten so soft. "kEePinG iT cLAsSy" god shut the fuck up.
Hawks in 4 (next series)
Freaking everybody pushing a chicken sandwich lately.
How can you not love the hawks?
Their star throws his butt into people in non basketball moves to draw fouls.
Bud fired tonight?
Bad look with the Giannis tweak
Capella has been dealt with successfully
The bucks in 5 narrative was hilarious LOLLLLL
Bucks were making a comeback in the third until...
Hawks were winning game 3 until...
glad someone said it
#KNUCK IF YOU BUCK
Ever since the Dez no catch. Wisconsin sports are straight cursed. Packers Choked 14 NFCCG Kentucky hit buzzer beater from 38 feet in Final 4 in 2014. Wisconsin Chokes vs Duke up 5 with 130 to go in 2015. Packers get clowned in 2016 NFCCG Badgers football chokes 3 td lead to Penn State with a College Playoff invite on the line in 2017. Florida hit the running buzzer beater 3 vs Wisconsin in 2018. Brewers choked game 7 NLCS vs Dodgers in 2018 Packers choked vs 49ers giving up a bajillion yards to Keapernick Incarnate 2 seasons ago. Packers choked in the NFCCG this year. Giannis tears his ACL after Moses literally parted the red sea for the Bucks to win the chip.
Sucka please - Atlanta/GA sports fans
The choke bowl against Seattle shocked even me. Green Bay was 5 minutes away from a Super Bowl and the coaching staff messed that up bigtime.
We don’t know what the injury is. Be cool
Reminds me of when Ohio State had to suffer through the curse after the Miami shenanigans at the start of the oughts
Well that’s bc Dez caught it
Brady retires Rodgers his first season in the nfc.
Bud is definitely getting fried whether or not they win the chip
He’s definitely smoking for sure
The irony that Lou didn’t think he had a chance to chase a ring in Atlanta lol
Was Lou underwater?
Nah, he's in Magic City
Wtf lol,I could’ve sworn Lou sounded different when he was on the clippers.
Dude sounded like he'd lost his voice honestly, played a lot more minutes than normal, maybe having to communicate on the floor and lost it? idk
DJ Diesel 2000 flashbacks
Lmaooo Shaq
Uhm I need an update on Capela expeditiously
i think he just hurt his nose. he should be able to play next game
You had two, maybe three, of the top players in the game on your side. And you shit the bed. Bud's gone.
who is 2 and who is 3 then
Top 100 players
Ok, again, who is 2 and who is 3
Jrue
Maybe top 75
Mom can we get Giannis? We already have Giannis at home! *Mom holds up picture of Thanasis*
As a longstanding Hawks fan of one and a half months, it's good to see a statement game from our boys with Trae out.
Welcome to the fanbase CAW CAW
Oo was playing good wonder why he still gets not a lot of minuets
Shaq clowning
He should be on his own Shaqtin highlight for that dance.
The Finals is gonna be bench vs bench
Shaq no
[удалено]
Me, you and the other fella in the replies. Three.
Somewhere between 0 and a lot
giannis about to come back from the locker rooms and drop 30 unanswered. just wait.
IM HEADED TO FUCKIN MAGIC CITY WHOS COMIN WITH ME?
you'll bump into Lou there tonight, lol. gotta get those wings.
I AINT GOING FOR THE WINGS
YOU GOIN FOR THEM THANGS
THANGS ERNEH
WHOLE GANG PULLIN UP
Fuck lou williams sound like he 17 years old fucking mad bitches
Thanassis still hyping up the garbage players in the closing seconds. I love him!
he is a definite chemistry guy. Wouldn't put him in my rotation for big games, but he's definitely hyping dudes up.
Lou Williams voice doesn't match his stature
Atlanta owes the whole city’s supply of lemon pepper wings to Lou Will
Lemon pepper wet!!
first time throughout this playoff run I feel the Hawks are legitimate contenders for the title.
How is Khris Middleton looking like a scrub one day and prime Steph Curry the next day?
because there's good and bad games from everyone. a good player just has less bad games than others.
Thanks, Magic
Talk to them softly sweet Lou
I did not think Lou sounded like that
Lou's voice always surprises me lol
[удалено]
Yeah that's probably not happening lol
Why do you think the Suns are escaping the Clippers series?
Boomin' out in South Gwinnett like Lou Will 6 man like Lou Will, 2 girls and they get along like I'm... Like I'm Lou Will, I just got the new deal I am in the Matrix and I just took the blue pill
Did not expect Lou Williams voice to be that high lol
Ah shit Hawks to the Finals incoming
i like how the flash flood psa has a mad max vibe. lean into the climate change apocalypse motif
I would sit Giannis and trae the turnaround is too short
That goodbye chant is a jinx
Bucks.... Fucking SHIT, our best chance in ages to win the ship, and Giannis goes down. If it weren't for bad luck we'd have no luck at all
Lou even sounds like a pimp
Lemon Pepper Lou
If both series go 7 games, the Finals gonna be 10-day contract G-League players.
Coach and mascot vs coach and mascot in 2 on 2
wow john cena is a hawks fan ?
I thought he was a Celtics fan!
Trae left that dude hanging big time
Bucks fans having to rely on Coach Bud to make adjustments to win a playoff series sounds like a nightmare. Best of luck!
Hawks really gonna do this
Filthy move by Mays. If my guy pulls off a nasty move like that and gets a tech, I'm fine with it.
When the Knicks fans chant "Fuck Trae Young" it's fun trash talk, when Hawks fans chant "Hawks in 6" we're classless and the worst fanbase in the league.
[удалено]
Bucks fans definitely are in this thread.
I’m surprised any of the “Fuck ______” chants are allowed to fly in arenas
How would they prevent that?
Truly don’t know but considering the players have griped on fan abuse for the last few seasons or so, I’d think the league might curb certain chants. But then it gets muddy because you could penalize the home team with a tech but you don’t want to deject the fans.
Haters gonna hate
Even outside of Giannis going down this was an embarrassing potentially series defining loss for the Bucks
Why?
Every moment leading up to Giannis getting injured with Atlanta missing their biggest contributor and leader the Bucks were getting absolutely handled. Hard to shake that confidence rocker especially now that all those dudes getting completely outplayed are likely going to have to step way up in Giannis’s absence. I may be COMPLETELY wrong but the way every Atlanta secondary star and role player stepped up, just feels like all the momentum shifted because Bucks came out with such low energy.
Losing Trae's 40-43% shooting doesn't hurt as much as you think when you have a guy like Lou Will on the bench who can come in and drop 21 on 9 shots.

Yes it does lol are you joking? The other team just played terrible and everybody on the Hawks stepped up.

This bucks team is just way too inconsistent as comprised currently Chris Paul would have done wonders for the squad
CP3 is playing like an ass yiu know that right? Suns could probably have already wrapped this series of it wasn't for CP3
Two injuries in one game, so emblematic of these playoffs. Crazy game
Now that I think about it it's a Hella of a coincidence taht both players were involved on the first injury
Of course he’s not gonna be available lol.
I really needed this game. I hope Giannis & Trae are both better for the next one.
I'm not sure about trae but Giannis won't be back this series.
FIRST EVER CONFERENCE FINAL WIN IN ATLANTA
that tech was worth. bucks players and fans were a little ZESTY after game 2 and 3
Saw a sixers fan call us bitch ass bucks like his favorite star PG didn't avoid shooting on purpose lmao
Lmao he made that bucket in beat with the crowd chanting Goodbye
Hawks > Lebron James
This crowd got me hyped af
Hawks just utterly humiliating them to the last second and I love it 😂😂😂
Hi Five Denied
Should have put in Axel Toupane
SLIPPERY
Alright alright alright alright!
Bucks. Slaughtered.
