Bogdon is really hurt. Don’t think he’ll be effective for the rest of the playoffs. That knee is bothering him.
Not sure if Gallo can repeat his game 7 performance.
DeAndre Hunter being out hurts because he was the perfect Giannis matchup.

media been full trash today. Bron gets brought up in KD talk. Skip was saying Booker ain’t that because he missed 5 shots in the fourth. Skip said Simmons played good at LSU cut him break.

Nah I think it’s just bs on how he hasn’t improved, this isn’t a live interview

Ben Simmons is so universally hated right now, that the focus isn't even on doc rivers like it should be. Imo

Gallo a statue but he’s actually doing what some guys his height should do. Just get the ball in a good spot of a seal and just shoot over .

Legit got no idea how we gonna match up against the Bucks. I trust these dudes and Nate for sure but there are certain questions. Things we took advantage off against the Knicks and 6ers that aren’t as obviously there with the Bucks. But as far as stopping Giannis I feel like the squad will just answer that the same way they did “who gonna stop Joel” ...you don’t 
just find a way to win around that

I think he tweaked something in his knee. His shot has been broken since game 5.

If Heurter can be consistent then that should East the impact of Bogdan not being 100%…The problem is somebody has to replace his bench role and the candidates are Snell Solomon Hill and maybe Reddish, not a good group

bogdon is dragging his leg up and down the court
i would just rest him for gm1 if it's not getting better

Gallo got 2-3 games like that a series. Otherwise he’ll give you 9 on 3 of 12 shooting.

To be fair, it’s not like the bucks have much coming from the bench either.
It’s pretty much Pat & Forbes. Pat balled in game 7 but he’s inconsistent. Coach Bud got Portis locked to the bench. Wonder if he uses him in this series.
I think it goes Bucks in 6.

If Middleton has a good series its a wrap.

Simmons is the one the biggest issues Doc had to deal with. Sure you can say no all bench lineups etc but if Simmons is useless with the starters, he’s 3x more useless with Thigh Bull and Dwert
Green getting hurt affected a lot even though he was a matador on defense

The hawks will have a little bit of trouble just having to adjust to playing defense against 5 guys, instead of 4.

What do you mean, "allows?" This is America. We don't have a state-run media.
Similar to my feelings about the whole Kwame Brown situation, I don't mind commentators critiquing and criticizing athletes as long as they keep it in bounds and aren't talking about anything personal. Last time I checked, no one is saying Ben Simmons is a bad person, they're just critiquing his basketball game.
When he's played well, he's certainly gotten the praise and now that he's playing poorly he deserves the criticism. It comes with the territory of being a professional athlete.

Stephen A Smith said that Donovan Mitchell was better than Karl Malone and John Stockton a week ago. Don't take these guys seriously

If LeBron James himself can control the media and protect his image/how far people go when critiquing him the NBA can do a better job on a whole monitoring the utter disrespect these talking heads display on a daily basis

Yea that will be the biggest difference from the Knicks and 6ers series. Bucks 2nd best player is actual reliable and can get buckets

Having Simmons on the Warriors hurts them. They're all about floor spacing and having threats on the perimeter. Simmons basically gives the defense 1-less guy to worry about.

Atlanta overperformed, whatever happens in the finals is gravy. I mean how wild would it be if they go to the finals?
I expect a Milwaukee-Phoenix finals. Phoenix wins all
