Trae Young doing that shimmy 3 was gutsy

 

[Emperoreddy]

Brutal by the Bucks this last minute. Can't get a rebound.

 

[PanniniClaus]

They called for a Connaughton airball play ...deep into the playbook.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Holy f*** how do you airball that?!?

 

[Del Preston]

Giannis going to the free throw line means these final ten seconds will take longer than last night's.

Trae Young doing that shimmy 3 was gutsy

He is such an insufferable prick

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Young sinks both.

3 point ATL lead.

 

[c9777666]

Trae Harden is apparently officiated like he's LeBron

You're not allowed to even face guard this guy!

 

[EpochLink]

He is such an insufferable prick

Your takes are getting old man..

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Middleton 3 is no good and ATL continues this amazing ride!

 

[c9777666]

And all 10 Hawks fans go wild

 

[Emperoreddy]

Imagine if the Bucks had a good coach.

 

[c9777666]

So apparently Trae Young is allowed to get away with anything

 

[Avs_19]

All of these games over the last little while have been so fun. Great finishes day after day.

Good win for the Hawks. Middleton probably won’t shoot that poorly again so they had to get that one. Some more weird Bucks offense down the stretch tonight.

 

[GKJ]

First time the Hawks have won a league semi-final round game in 52 years. They didn't even have conferences back then. The Association only had 14 teams.

 

[c9777666]

Imagine if the Bucks had a good coach.

Imagine if the Bucks were actually allowed to play defense on Trae Harden. You can't approach him without getting a whistle

It's like 06 Finals Wade

 

[Emperoreddy]

Oh damn getting heated on the TNT set right now.

 

[Emperoreddy]

CP3 is back for Game 3? That series is a wrap.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Hawks missed 5 shots in the last 4 minutes and got the offensive rebound on every shot.

Bucks are such a frustrating team to watch

When's the last time the NBA had this kind of random out of nowhere team win a title? I mean Atlanta was 20-47 last year and 14-20 before the coach firing this year and now poof, instant contenders. It's not like they added LeBron and Kevin Love either a la Cleveland when they went from joke to title contender overnight. This is literally like a St. Louis Blues 2018 type run, only without the solid playoff appearance history before that.

Larry Brown's Detroit team didn't really come out of nowhere, they got deep in the playoffs before that. Same with the Kawhi Raptors. You gotta go back to maybe the '70's for some of the random title winners there...the Warriors, Bullets or Sonics? Portland had Bill Walton so not really counting them.

I know you said you're not counting them, but the '77 blazers would be the closest thing to this year's hawks winning it all

In six seasons of existence prior to 77 they had never had a winning season or made the playoffs

[Vasilevskiy]

hahahahaah

Probably the Nets who had 1 playoff series win since joining the NBA and missed the playoffs (not even close) then went to back to back finals against the Lakers and Spurs.

If the Clippers don't win it all, a new young star and a new young team will. It's exciting!​
