The dude who recently got knocked out by one of the Paul brothers?
Nate McMillan ?
Thanks, bad typo on my part. NATE should win it.
Maybe local ratings will be good, but not having a big market team in The Eastern Finals won't help national ratings. As others have pointed out, there is a trend of low ratings across the board in professional sports as well.
Kevin Huerter was the best player on a game 7 winner
I'm completely done doubting the Hawks for sure. And to think, no matter how this season ends, we're adding Hunter, Reddish, Dunn and a 1st rd draft pick to a team that just ousted the East #1 seed ON THE ROAD without them!!!
Hawks overcame the best shooting performance in postseason history. Seth Curry shot 57% from 3 in the series.
No question, Collins and several others were very good as well. Trae clearly let the pressure get to him in game 7. Bogdanovic seemed to not care for the past week, his past 3 games soured me on his future with the team. If he can't give his all when it matters most, find him another home for next season. He does have a chance to redeem himself starting Wednesday though.
20+ ties and 15+ lead changes on the road in game 7.
Hawks led for 27minutes, tied for 10 mins with biggest lead being 7 and biggest deficit being 4. The Hawks controlled a tight game from the beginning to the end. Rare for a young team.
Also Philadelphia had the best home record in the NBA over the past two years and the Hawks win 3 there on the road.
Unbelievable stats.
The most impressive thing about this series from a Hawks' perspective was the team kept coming back in all 3 road wins. Last night they got it done with their 2 best offensive players spitting the bit, that is very tough to do.
Collins is an open question for next season though, he may or may not re-sign. He won me back over in this series.
Trae has been a beast in the first half. Bogdanovic is pulling a disappearing act for the 4th straight game though. He was 0-2 for 0 pts in the 1st half. Over the past 3 1/2 games he's 8 of 30 and 1 of 15 in 3 pt shots. He's scored a total of 17 pts over that period. He honestly looks like he doesn't want anywhere near the ball, I feel like kicking him on the tailbone.
How bout them HAWKS!!!!!!! Take game 1 in Milwaukee !! Trae Young......48 - 11 - 6 !! Incredible performance!!!
Unbelievable, Trae outplayed Giannis to boot.
Yes Siiiiiiirrrrrrrrr!!!
Another win on the road against more experienced, higher ranked teams.
Everyone take note and enjoy this team
