Eastside Atl -
my boy brought up an interesting point that dunn, reddish and hunter weren't even playing

going forward whats the plan with all those players and bog, hurter, gallo?

Folks may not like it but every player you named is a potential asset in a trade for a bigger star specifically because you can’t pay all of them.

Travis Schlenk has been a masterful GM so I expect some turnover in the offseason and possibly us getting an all star to pair with Trae.

Awww, I finally made time to come look at y’all little thread... nah just bullshyttin.. had to come in and congratulate y’all on this huge accomplishment brehs. Everything y’all said talking shyt to us was true. Now that I’m finally over our loss I can admit, Trae is one of them ONES. We haven’t seen shyt like this in a very long time.

Outside looking in tho, what the fukk has gotten into Nate? He wasn’t coaching like this in Indiana at all. Dude makes it a point to pinpoint his opponents weaknesses and just beats that shyt to death. There’s no doubt in my mind y’all can beat the Bucks. (Not saying you will for sure or anything, but if there’s a team that can expose the fukk out of them it’s gonna be yall). I can’t even say it’s a roster thing with Nate cause he had some good ass teams in Indiana. Whatever it is, I’m glad it’s a black coach doing this and I’m gonna need him to start getting that “cerebral tactician” praise they usually save for white coaches.

Hunter had surgery and is out for the remainder of the postseason

Cam is rehabbing from an Achilles injury. He’s been medically cleared to resume basketball activities, but hasn’t practiced with the team. His status is uncertain

Dunn is healthy but out of the rotation

Biggest defensive question marks for us will be:

-Who guards Giannis?
-Who guards Khris Middleton?

We all know Giannis is a beast and is going to get his, but if we can keep him out the lane and force him to make FTs and jump shots we’ll be in good shape. Maybe in this series we start Gallo to give us more length to guard Giannis in the half court. Maybe Solo? I don’t want JC or Capela as a primary defender on him

I don't believe Giannis will be as much of a problem. I actually think we can make life extremely difficult for him.

Khris isn't beating you with his quickness like DeRozan, we can treat him like a big wing. We can use Gallo on him.

One underrated key...

Onyeka Okongwu has worked his way into being an importance piece in the Hawks rotation. He will be huge in the Milwaukee series.
I honestly think he’s the key. We drafted him to be a Bam type of defender. Better believe this is his time to shine. I think him and Capela can give Giannis fits. Embiid was a great tune up for those 2 cause honestly Embiid is a tougher guard

Embiid had John/Clint/OO all by at least 60 lbs individually...AT LEAST. Clint/John/Gallo/OO will be more than ready for this matchup against the Bucks. Giannis ain't coming close to having the offensive skillset Embiid does. I can actually see Giannis having a Randle type series tbh.

Exactly. Nate has been masterful at exposing each teams weaknesses. I think Giannis is next on that summer jam screen. Played against little to no resistance in the Brooklyn series. He thinks he’s over the hump. Not sure if he’s gonna be mentally ready for us.

Yup...a perfect storm is brewing...

Trae goes into Milwaukee and dominate Game 1 and the Hawks throw the same coverages at Giannis as they did to Randle and all of a sudden you have panic in that organization.
