But can he help us win this series? We need guys the are ready to make an impact.

Idk bro. I didn't get the vibe that he is impactful right now. He's clearly better than Solo but Solo does some good things as well with his switch ability. Snell looked awful as usual. Dunn impressed me the most. His defense looked good, not what I am used to from him and his elite d but I seen the energy and feel there. I really think he showed a lot more than Lou. Maybe with more reps, we can get Dunn all world D back.

Trae has to take this loss personal. He shit the bed with those turnovers, especially during one stretch where he turned it over 3 times in a row. Gotta execute better on Sunday.

They were using everybody to guard him from Lopez to Holiday and swiping at the ball in the lane.  If Bogi was not hurt then he can be the off guard to take off pressure from those defender.  Trae was trying too much tonight, he has to slow it down and try to get everybody else involved.

I love Bogi but I think he needs to take couple of games off or limited minutes in the next two games and they need to find ways to stop that three ball from dropping.

80% do think. This series it may not be the factor it was in the other two. As others have said the whistles have been swallowed to some extent.

True.

He has great size and athleticism. That's why he was a highly sought after recruit. But he has to be more under control and consistent to become a good NBA player. He looked better than I thought he would tonight though, aside from that ugly air ball. 

To be honest, he didn't suck. He looked better than all of wings tonight but he didn't make an impact either. That said, he looked rusty and a mental step slow but like I said, Cam can score 10+ in his sleep. He's that talented.

It's best of 7 for a reason.

Everyone shits the bed every once and a while. It happens. This was the worst game we played all playoffs. But they did not do anything we havent seen before. Tight defense, physical on the glass, and oh yeah, they got hot from 3. We made mistakes. Some lazy terrible passes. We did not value the ball or compete on the glass. Those are effort issues, not talent or skill. Respect the Bucks for rallying to avoid an 0-2 hole. It's best of 5 now, anyone's series.

Feels with the defense against Trae that Kevin has to get 40 at sg and do whatever we can at sf. Cam will get more minutes there for sure now. Love Bogi but he is damged goods right now. Unfortunate as hell but it is true.

I've been saying this, Bogi isn't doing us a service playing.

1-1 best of 5 starts on Sunday. Bottom line we did what we needed to do and stole a game.

Let’s protect our home court on Sunday!

GO HAWKS! 
 

ps @Jody23 I wanna take your advice right about now.

Cam actually wasn't as bad as I expected on offense. 

He, Dunn and Solo should get a few minutes together as disrupters just to make the Bucks feel uncomfortable every once and a while.

Hmmmm . . this game tonight looked familiar?

 

Oh I know where I saw it from . . .

He's not even a good decoy at this point. I applaud him for fighting through injury, but I don't think he's helping the team at all right now.

Wow. In that case he looked great. I was under the impression he was practicing with the team after he was medically cleared.

You hear Trae?

Scott and 'em let more go tonight.

 

He's talking about Chris Paul's favorite ref . . Scott Foster.

That would be best after a night like this.  On to the next one.

These are the things we can control for next game.

He practiced 2v2 and 3v3...not 5v5 which is full court practice.
