Wallace is a borderline Hall of Famer, IMHO. And Playoff P will be, too, if his postseason body of work doesn't improve.

Hawks remind me of Markus’ senior year. No defense and a small point guard making it rain.

I was a huge Ben Wallace fan when he was with the Pistons. I’m shocked he made the HOF.

Wallace was 4 time NBA DPOY. His 5 year peak was as defensively dominant as a player has been in the modern era. He averaged 9.6 rebounds for his career. You take out his rough, non starter years in Washington and he is well into double digits.

But as for your last statement, LMAO WTF?! Please tell me a bunch of other HOF players that don’t deserve to be there and show it’s not a good measure of talent or performance

Mea culpa on the hyperbole, obviously everyone in the HOF is talented and accomplished, but it was more of comment that the folks in Springfield seem to have a bit of flexibility to see who they enshrine as all time greats. But hey, I’m just a schmo who can barely hit an 18 footer.

Big Ben couldn't hit an 18 footer, either.

Uhhhh ....#11 on the Hawks is pretty good. This is a one man wrecking crew. They can't seem to guard the guy at all. He can get a three or a floater any time he wants. Would you force him left?

This game shows what drives me nuts about Bud. No plan against Trae at all. It like a practice for him. How many 5-7 footers has he made with Lopez backing up?

Halftime adjustments? Nope. Just keep doing what didn’t work in the 1st half. Lopez will keep backing up.

They need Lopez out so Young doesn’t get 15 ft of space on every screen.

Then Lopez backs up again to give Huerter a 7 footer.

What is the point of this defense?

tower912 · « **Reply #1559 on:** June 23, 2021, 08:57:19 PM »

And yet, here he is in the Eastern conference finals. Limit everybody else and game plan for the next game

Keep in mind the Hawks essentially don't have 2 starters. The Bucks D tonight has been shredded by Young. They have no answers on that high screen. Huerter and Collins have played really well too.

Obviously rooting for the Bucks, but man is Young fun to watch.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #1562 on:** June 23, 2021, 09:05:45 PM »

Do you deny Trae the ball or get the ball out of his hands before half-court? Have you looked at his stat-line? It's still the 3rd Q brw.

JWags85 · « **Reply #1563 on:** June 23, 2021, 09:09:52 PM »

Middleton is so damn painful when this team needs a bucket and the half court is struggling.

Bud’s been wildly out coached again. Someone needs to step up besides Jrue

His shooting and passing. His janky foul hunting is far from it

Eh they call it so…

I might go with Giannis at the 5. The help D is nowhere to be found for the Bucks tonight.

The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole · « **Reply #1566 on:** June 23, 2021, 09:13:24 PM »

By the way, Marv is in person…and still bad. Hung on too long.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #1567 on:** June 23, 2021, 09:18:38 PM »

Atlanta is a very well coached team. Why Nate McMillan was fired by Indiana is puzzling.

He seems not to know the difference between a 2 and a 3.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #1569 on:** June 23, 2021, 09:21:31 PM »

Lost in this particular bad shooting game is that the Bucks have shot poorly from distance all throughout the playoffs.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #1570 on:** June 23, 2021, 09:25:26 PM »

I dunno about that call. Wow.

He’s been HORRIFIC. Like shockingly bad repeatedly

Yeah, sadly, Marv lost his fastball at least a couple years ago.

Had a pretty damn good first 5 decades as an announcer, though.

Young may have shot Atlanta out of this game

Bucks not securing defensive rebs. Can't happen.
