Beverly lost control, he was frustrated his team lost but in the while, he lost his sportsmanship. IIRC, they were teammates back in Houston but he is acting like they don't know each other. Pat is the best defender in the NBA, maybe, but CP3 is more than that, and he proves it by beating the Clippers.

No, they were not teammates in Houston. It was Beverley that was traded for CP3 and that is why there is hate circling around those two. All the trash talks they had been doing since the start of the series were because of that.

Quote

In the NBA’s second blockbuster trade in less than a week, the Rockets acquired Paul from the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday in exchange for Patrick Beverley, Lou Williams, Sam Dekker, Montrezl Harrell, Darrun Hilliard, DeAndre Liggins, Kyle Wiltjer, a protected first-round pick next year and cash considerations. The Rockets acquired Hilliard from Detroit and Liggins from Dallas for cash considerations before adding them to the deal.

That's all the reason for the frustration push after CP3 looked at him like saying he will always be better than him.
It is true, but it hurts Beverley's feelings more.

Congratulations Bucks fans. 1 more to go.

Trae Young needs to be back next game, it is crucial game for them, it will be in their home court so we should expect that they will give everything. So hopefully, if Young is back, it will be a different ball game for the Hawks. They need him badly as Sweet Lou didn't have the same game he had. Bucks storm and build some lead just in the first quarter. So Hawks has to cover a lot of grounds, Brook Lopez dominated them inside. I'm still thinking though if Hawks can extend the series.

That's because the Bucks put Tucker in front him. That guy may not steal the ball from you but he will certainly not leave your face.
After that, Lou's magic disappeared. But there will always be alterations with the Hawks game play. That is the reason why they can still keep up with the Bucks up until now. Adjustments. I love it when Reggie Miller says that word during the game.
Capela (played 21 minutes only) should be okay next game after the right eye injury from the garbage time at Game 4, he could go back and stop Lopez from having the same explosive game again.

Hawks will bounce back, I hope so because game 7 is very exciting to watch. Without their star players, this game is still entertaining and we can really see that they are a good team as they don't struggle even without their star player. Bucks shooting are good because they played at their home court, but in game 6, it will be hawks home court so I guess they'll also struggle again.

A good team usually becomes even better when the superstar isn't playing, because they get to play a good ball rotation without the superstar who always have the ball in almost every possession. Though superstars like Giannis plays a vital role in the team, but sometimes they aren't as effective as they usually do and will cost a game as well.

Anyway, It's really good to see Atlanta Hawks bounce back in gm6 and then proceed to a much exciting game 7.
Gm 4 and 5 are both blowouts from each team. I hope game 6 will be a close match.

The bucks just got better this season, in the past, they are a bad team, especially last season because when Giannis was injured, the Bucks was easily get dominated by the Heat. I don't know if they got the consistency, but losing a superstar of the team, will not make the team better.

1 more win to Bucks and here they go, welcome to the finals!!

Bucks vs PHX in the finals? hmm, not so quick, there's still a few games left for Bucks and Hawks.

Bucks are once again showing their skills as they did on game two and if they keep this up, they too will get to the NBA finals to compete with the Phoenix Suns. However, I doubt that the Hawks will let that happen easily since they have the skills to beat the Bucks as they already did. If the Bucks will let the Hawks do their thing, then game 7 will be the hardest battle they will ever have in their entire careers since it will bring both responsibility and expectations from their fans.

Had there been a series where both star players for a team have had to watch the remainder of game 6 & 7 sitting on the sidelines?
Who can step up for the hawks now that capella showed he can alone put the team and their season on his shoulders?
Now it goes back to the ATL to see if the bucks have what it takes to close this one down.

If the bucks will never change their game plan as they did today, it is a way to stop the game at game 6.
Both teams had no star players left to take advantage of, only they needed for now is to trust each other and help their team.
I hope Capela could carry the pressure coz for sure Khris might not allow to make it.

I think we will see a game 7, Hawks are just so good at home, their shooting are very well at home and Bogdanovic had already found his rhythm. There's no news whether Trae Young will play in game 6, but I'm sure the Hawks can handle it as they have done it already in game 4. At this moment, I guess the Bucks has a huge advantage as they have the home court in game 7.

No Giannis, No problem because they got the victory and are up 3-2.
Its good to see the adjustments of the Bucks team. They know that Middleton's performance is a roller coaster that is why they just spread the scores to many players and we saw 4 players in double digit figures.

Now the Bucks are 1 win away from going to the NBA Finals but still, the Hawks have a chance since this series is far from over and I know that the Bucks team are thinking the same way. No time to be complacent because they need to win one more. I'm quite curious into how Trae and Giannis's health will be in Game 6. Will one of them play or both of them will not play Cheesy

.

Their defense was better so they got a good ball movement and won the game. Brook Lopez had a wonderful game, he was providing both balance offense and defense and this is what the Bucks needed to finish the Hawks in 6, max is in 7 of course.

Well, It seems that this way the teams were more balanced and as incredible as it may seem, in my opinion I even believe the Bucks played better without Giannis in Game 5 than with him in Game 4. By the way, Portis played very well, he surprised me a lot.

He is, it's not actually that surprising. It's just that they didn't give him quality minutes once he heats up. But, every time they used him to rest Giannis he can score and make the fans go wild. Crazy Eyes! Grin

Hawks is hurt more when it comes to injuries. Trae is a big part of their team for the play to work while Giannis can do isolation games only. Then, there's Bogdanovic's knee injury that slows him down.
Bucks may finish this at Atlanta if they can't find a way to counter-attack.

Trae Young needs to be back next game, it is crucial game for them, it will be in their home court so we should expect that they will give everything.

Bucks coach knows how to use his players, there are lots of players in the bench that can score, and I'm not surprised about portis because he can score, also a mid-build big man, and it's not about Giannis, Middleton is a star, in the shadow, he is the closeout player, every time Giannis struggles, that is why I'm not bothered, in this matchup, what I'm bothered about is when bucks advance, who can much Ayton in the paint, it will be a massacre

It will be back to what they did on game 4, Lou Williams not to start hot, wonder though Collins performance is somewhat on a slump. Doesn't get that much touch and his athleticism is not present. Not sure if he is injured or not comfortable because Trae Young is not present. Usually Trae give him good pass, hopefully he can go back so that the chances of Atlanta to tie again the series at their back yard. We understand Bogdanovic's shooting slump as he has some injury.

Let me quote it here with this recent update. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/giannis-antetokounmpo-injury-update-bucks-star-avoids-serious-damage-to-knee-listed-as-doubtful-for-game-5/

Quote

After undergoing an MRI and additional testing Wednesday, Giannis' initial diagnosis was confirmed as he suffered no structural damage to his left knee as his ligaments remain intact, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Still, the Bucks are listing the big man as doubtful for Game 5.

Thanks for this information. From the replay, I swore, Giannis could have suffered something more serious like an ACL rupture.
I'm glad he didn't suffer any more serious damage.

Both teams are just matched for me. Like to see how both team's rosters will adjust now that their main scorers will be on the sideline.

Can't say who will win that match. It's unpredictable but I'm rooting for the Bucks to win on Game 5.

And now it's down to 9 points lead, the Hawks has a good run in the last couple of minutes. I think Atlanta is still into this game. Even though the Bucks built a good lead, they are still fighting even without Trae Young.

The 2nd quarter is almost done, down to 2 minutes, so at least it was not a blow out game. For sure both teams are going to come back strong in the 3rd as this is crucial. If Bucks continue on the momentum and build a solid 10 point cushion, they have a good chance of winning and the point spread are going to be covered by the Bucks.

Hawks managed to cut the lead but Bucks continue to dominate inside, Brook Lopez made his appearance being felt
No Giannis no problem let Lopez make the damage.

Good pick for coach Mike Budenholzer bringing Portis in replace for Giannis as he really contribute well and made he's appearance being notice.

One more game for the Bucks before they'll going to meet Suns in the finals, they need to continue playing aggressive like this.
