Locked On Hawks POSTCAST: Atlanta Hawks Take Confidence, Underdog Role To Sin City For Emirates Cup

And then there were four… one of the hottest teams in the league, the Atlanta Hawks will travel out west to compete against a familiar foe in the Eastern Conference and one they typically have pretty good success against, the Milwaukee Bucks.

The two met a little over a week ago, resulting in a win for ATL. MIL features two of the top scorers in the NBA, Damian Lillard and the league’s leading scorer, Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks also add two of the NBA’s top 3-point percentage leaders (AJ Green/Taurean Prince), while the Hawks add the league’s best in assists and steals (Trae Young/Dyson Daniels)

DeShaun Tate and Tenitra Batiste recap Saturday’s action, a battle for the In-Season Tournament’s Emirates Cup Semifinals including how Atlanta helped Milwaukee secure the win, notice of the traveling Atlanta rabid fan base and a preview of Thursday’s matchup versus Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs.

  1. Poor takes here DeShaun—too much of a Homer. Blame it on the refs . Real take–the Hawks have a long way to go. They did not control the tempo—little boys with men out there today

  2. Actually we got nothing from JJ.
    Dyson had too many errors early on and Dre wasn’t Dre .
    Sitiuational play down the stretch wasn’t good.
    Trae played a good game until those last two minutes. Should a got to the ft line in the clutch

  3. Hawks actually went to the free throw line more… got the Bucks in the penalty/bonus with about 8 mins left in the 4th.. hawks just wasn't aggressive and allowed the Bucks to play their game

  4. Officiating was inconsistent. A lot of unnecessary free throws for both teams. Hawks, more so.
    Basically Giannis played really good defense and was aggressive offensively as a scorer and facilitator. The Bucks moved the ball more and also converted fast breaks to points. So that's why Hawks lost.

  5. Bro how can u blame officiating wen Tre "i wanna be like Steph" Young foul baiting the entire game he had 17 fts dude

  6. The Bucks are the most underrated team in the league once this team really clicks will be dangerous..

  7. My biggest take from this is the Hawks are truly improved, but we need a big that can do it on both ends. I like Clints hustle, but not being effective enough on the offensive end unless it's dunks off lob's is not going to get it.
    Also we need a reliable back up point Kobe is not ready yet we can't ask from Nothing more Trae.
    This should be top priority this team isn't far.
    But let's be real we just saw two times we get ate alive by dominate bigs.
    First Joker then today Giannis.
    If we are serious about getting to the next leave address these needs and we are ready to contend for a title.

  8. lol Giannis is faster than any player that ever played in the hawk franchise.. bitter take from this idiot lol

  9. Bucks played physically to force the refs to call more fouls. Forcing refs to swallow their whistle. Great game plan. A couple made free throws and 3's it would be a different game.

  10. Bucks Fan here. It's wasn't officiating..look at the stats. What I think it was, yall under estimated the Bucks. Thinking it was an automatic win from the game before. But didn't keep in mind that Bucks were coming from a cup win or go home Game the night before in Detriot before playing ATL. But you guys played a hell of a Game against the Knicks.
