Series Thread: Eastern Conference Finals: 5) Atlanta Hawks vs 3) Milwaukee Bucks

[Pastafazul]

So, let me get this straight…

trae tries to draw a foul just about every attempt he makes at a basket, puts his body in harms way against monsters on the court…

Gets tripped up by a ref?

karma ,a funny thing

Middleton outscored Atlanta, 20-17, in the 4th.

LOL.

Somebody on here calls him a scrub.

LMAO.

"Coach Bud is gonna be fired next week."

Probably best case scenario but that’s gonna hurt like a bitch on Tuesday night. Everybody else has to give a little bit more and Bogi can’t be a waste. Ginger Bitch that still haunts me as he cooked Curry needs to go off like he did Game 7.

Now it's worth seeing if Milwaukee could do what Phoenix couldn't. Atlanta's star player is hobbled now, and Milwaukee needs to go for the kill and end this in five.

I know the tweets were posted....but here's an article on Trae's status for Tuesday night's game 4...

Hawks' Young listed as questionable for Game 4

Hawks star Trae Young has a bone bruise in his right foot, according to an MRI, and is questionable for Game 4 against the Bucks.

Atlanta doesn’t have the depth that the Clippers do.

Hard to see them surviving if Trae is much less than 100%. He is the straw that stirs the drink.

The Bucks should close the door and win this series in 5. Not sure they they actually will, but they should.

He was never called a scrub.

Find the quote where i ever said he was a scrub or even a bad player. All I said about Middleton is that he's inconsistent in the playoffs. You really need to stop making these lies about. It is embarrassing

And he would have if Kyrie and Harden doesn't get hurt. Nets would have made quick work of them with those 2 healthy. Im sure when the Bucks were down 2-0 and Kyrie healthy, you expected them to win 4 of 5 right

 

[bksballer89]

And i still don't think Bud is that good of a coach. Solid chance they're down 2-1 against this Hawks team had the ref not injured trae young

He isn’t.

But he made the right adjustments in this series so far.

All Bud has to do is not be thoroughly outcoached and the Bucks win a ring.

Winning 1 does not make him some great coach. Bucks are in the right place at the right time.

Bottom line.....you said he would be fired. He isn't.

LOL.

It's kind of interesting with him. Based on his overall performance, he should probably be fired. Up to this point, the Bucks have appeared to be winning in spite of him. Injuries to other teams stars are the only reason they're still playing.

But if they win the title, how do you fire him?

Milwaukee benefitted significantly where 2 of the Nets 3 start players were injured. As you've mentioned, if healthy, Brooklyn runs away with the title. Let's not act like Bud is some savant as a HC, he's anything but.

That is the dilemma.

The Cavs found a way to fire Blatt despite going to the Finals. Don’t think they win in 2016 with Blatt at the helm. Most franchises give too much leeway to coaches on winning teams. On many occasions the coach is along for the ride or maybe even holding the team back.

As we learned with Doc Rivers and Ty Lue
