Just saw that Trae is out tonight for game 5. Great opportunity for the other guys to keep building chemistry and momentum from game 4 so that the team is at its best after Trae returns
Go figure this series, so much for the defense being better without Trae. Down 9 at halftime, time to go.
Giannis is confirmed out for tonight's game 6 in Atlanta. If the team can't win an elimination game at home with maybe the best player in basketball sitting on the Bucks's bench, they are just not quite good enough yet. GO HAWKS !
Agree. Before the series began, I felt they weren't "there" yet. A loss would make me feel that a bit stronger. Still think they've done a great job....it may take a good off-season to get them there or , at least, closer.
No doubt the season has been a pleasant surprise, regardless of whether The Hawks win or lose this series.
Still though, the seemingly forever trend of Atlanta sports teams ending their seasons on a losing note is not something to look forward to. What is something to look forward to regardless of what happens tonight is the potential of this nucleus going forward.
Maybe they can go get Moses Malone a d Reggie Theus
Congratulations to The Bucks and good luck to them in The League Finals. It's been an odd one. Each team played as well or better when their star player was out with an injury.
I'm interested to see what moves management makes in the off season.
Rooting for the Suns personally.
Why would this post be flagged. I don't get it.
Billy dawg has a dv stalker
When a talented team who is expected to go far makes it to the division finals and loses in 6, maybe you shrug and say “another Atlanta collapse.” This team, however, went much farther than anyone expected and farther than any Hawks team since they came to Atlanta in 1968, 53 years ago. I’m disappointed, sure, but very happy with them and the season.
A great run by the Hawks!!! Many thanks.
When it comes to winning and losing, sometimes it’s the little things outside of ones control— like a referee’s foot and a bone bruise. What a fluky thing. Still the team rose up and competed. Hats off to Middleton for stepping up when needed most.
On another note, the team is very young. Young, Reddish and Huerter are 22. Collins and De’Andre Hunter are 24. Onyeka Okongwu is 21. The future is bright for our basketball team. The Falcons and Braves? Not so much
It's just one of the reasons I wouldn't piss on some of these guys if they were on fire.
The Braves still have some excellent young players. Their perpetually patched together pitching staff finally caught up with them, but there's still time to put it together post-allstar break. The Falcons however are in bad shape with very little cap space and a weak roster..yuk.
last year's closer - Melancon - is leading the majors in saves. Our BP scares me a good bit. Seems like we've forgotten how to hit - is Ozuna out for life ? No Soroka this year, although the starters have been pretty good for a minute now. Disappointing. Like you say, maybe post-all star beak. Stranger things have happened.
Not re-signing Melancon was a huge loss. He has the stuff and great makeup for closing.
The Bravos made a nice comeback last night. In all honesty, I had given up by the time the 9th rolled around. They found a way. This makes two series they've won in a row. If they can maintain this for one more week, they'll be on a bit of a roll going into the all star break. Your point about an post all-star break seems a bit more possible now.
Bobby Cox's stated objective was to win every series. Yesterday's wi also made it 4 wins of the past 5 played, baby steps.
I f...ing hate how this site allows people to post negative reactions without being identified. It's as if management's goal is to mess with posters.
