would love to see the Hawks take this one, but i'm with you...

Bucks in 6...

Of the 4 teams remaining who would you like to see win it all? I want the Suns take care of business so CP3 can get that elusive ring.

Bucks got this.

Hawks might abuse Lopez a bit but I think the Bucks should win in 5 or 6 tops.

I feel Holiday will do more than enough to make it hard for Trae which will disrupt everything.

If Bud fails to adjust and leaves Brook Lopez on the court as much as he did against Brooklyn, I think Atlanta will beat them.

Lopez is an easy cover for ATL the way he is used and he will be a defensive liability on P and R.

Bucks in 6.

Bucks have to remember not to relax and leave the door open for Atlanta if they get up big like Philly did. If they do this, they'll be fine.

I’m pulling for the Hawks and Trae Young. He’s a joy to watch and the most underrated pick and roll decision maker in the league. I think Bucks win the series in 5 though.

The Bucks are heavy favorites. Still the Knicks and Sixers were also heavily favored. Hawks supposedly had no chance in either series and won on the road. Winning on the road in the playoffs is not easy.

I think the Bucks should win,but it would not be shocking to see the Hawks win the series. The Hawks also got Hunter,Reddish and Bogdonovich hurt. Which does not help their chances. Another interesting thought is the coaching. Two good coaches that have not won it all. I really did like how the Hawks beat NY and Philly as the huge underdog

I think people rag on Trae because he shoots a lot and there are games he misses a lot of shots. Trae though is never given credit for his passing,which is the best part of his game. He is an elite ball handler and passer. Like you said underrated as a floor general.

Hawks. After that, anyone but the Clips.

Some of the hate is from his flopping and ref-baiting. He's Harden-esque at times.

Hawks are 27-11 since Nate took over as coach and are now in the conference finals. Bucks are 26-12 (both aren't including the playoffs). Should be a good, competitive series. Matchups will be interesting.

Atlanta's players are going to be tough to rank on the top 50... Trae Young is the only lock to crack the list.

Come on with these turnovers. If I’m Atl I’d live with Giannis getting twos all game, those threes are the killers
