The Hawks just got called for the moving screens that the Nets set 2-3 times per possession.
The Hawks are a two-trick pony. If Young or Lou Williams don't score, they will struggle to get points.
Good first q all things considered. Young going off isn’t good, but they have no answer for the Bucks size. Bucks doing what they always with extra rest- struggle from outside. Attack the paint- they can’t match. And Portis can really hurt their second unit.

I think you have to treat Young like Allen Iverson. He'll go off, but like Iverson, the real offense isn't just him scoring, it's all the scrambling and long rebounds off misses for second-chance points that hurt you. It's not like he's Kyrie Irving in terms of ability.
The Bucks are -7 in Lopez' 12 minutes. The drop defense is killing them.
Pat Connaughton cannot be matched up against Young. I like Pat, but he can't match up with quick guards.
Memo to Bud
get your head out of your ass. The only chance Atlanta has is if Young goes nuts and you have Pat C defending him?

Yep. Let Young get his. Less looks for the other 4 guys means no balance. If he goes for 40 and they lose, they're still down 0-1.
What did Charles say at halftime? Put Giannis at the 5 Lopez out Portis in
Sure seems like they’re putting this on Bud in the half time show

Putting what on him?
They think Bucks up by five is weak at home in the opener.
Trae Young complaining about anyone else getting a call on a jump shot is second only to Harden complaining.
I thought portis was great in the first half. What do I know?
Bucks are already in the bonus with 8 minutes left in 3Q. Pummel them into submission inside.
Lopez’s dropping too deep again… need to at least show for fuck’s sake
Giannis should be embarrassed to have it on tape that he shot a fadeaway 10-footer against Trae Young.
It's a 7 game series, but the Bucks are in danger of dropping Game 1 and giving the Hawks the idea that they can win this series.
Why I think you need to put the Hawks away early. See the Sixers series. They’re up six now
The Bucks are dominating inside and are in the bonus, yet they keep jacking 3s. Down 8.
And we haven’t been hitting the threes. Why?
Lopez has played 20 minutes and the Bucks are -16 in those minutes.
He has sat for 14 minutes and they are +10 in that span.
Sometimes it's pretty simple.
