So my guess about the Suns prevailing in the West was on point. The Hawks tied up the series in the East, but the injury to Giannis could be the game-changer that gives the Hawks the advantage. With Trae Young out the last game, the Hawks managed the win though the Giannis injury was likely the catalyst to that victory. Young and Clint Capela are both questionable for tonight's game as I write this, and Giannis is doubtful for game 5.
Without Giannis, I think the Hawks take the series regardless of whether Young and Capela play. If Giannis plays and is healthy enough to have a meaningful impact, I think the Bucks can still pull the series out. I am still betting Suns for the Finals, though. I just don't see either of the injury-plagued Eastern teams taking out the Suns over 7 games. However, I do think a healthy Bucks team would have the best chance. Which team do you all think will take game 5 and/or take the East?
No Giannis it will be up to Jrue and Khris to carry the Bucks
Hawks wins without Trae, can they repeat it?
Time will tell.
This is exactly what I was thinking of writing. I think tonight will be a close one
No doubt. Gonna be a interesting to see how the rest of the series plays out.
