Speaker 2
I mean, to your point, the game lands on 16. The heat outscored them by 17 in the fourth quarter. Yeah.
Speaker 1
So they're down 33. Boy. And the heat, the heat also made a run at the beginning of the third quarter and cut it to I think 17 or 16. And then the bucks turned back on. They're like, Oh, we better not fall asleep too early here. And they put it back over 30 in a matter of minutes. Like they just dominated. I mean, they could have won that game by 50 if they wanted
Speaker 2
to. Unbelievable, unbelievable performance. All right. Let's backtrack a little. Some of the others we talked, you know, in passing. I mentioned what is the response in game two? Pretty feeble response from the Hawks in game two against the Celtics.
Speaker 2
That's that's over. It didn't give you much hope that that can be anything more than five at max, right? Like if you get the, it usually even in the gentleman's sweep games, it's game three, the first home game for the team. They're all ramped up. They're in their arena. And the other team has got the cushion. And so if there's one that and then they, and then they go ahead and then they win game five or I'm sorry, game four, and then they go back home and close the thing out. You know, like that's, that's typically the ebb and flow of a dominating series. You know, we don't get a ton of sweeps. So if there's one game, but I think anything more than five games in that series, especially just after seeing what Derek White has 25 points in game one, and then you go and make your adjustments and Derek White comes back out and has 26 in game two. Like what exactly are you taking away from that team? And it just seemed like they just, they're just ill equipped. And you know, they're ill equipped to deal with them and obviously that even the back court, I mean, those two guys, it's just, it's not enough. Like they would have to just get mammoth, efficient, Trey young nights, it feels like
Speaker 1
in order for them to have a chance. I mean, yeah, sure. Like you can, you can say, you know, they need a mammoth, you know, night from Trey young. Here's the problem, though, Chris, he goes nine of 22 in that game two against the Celtics. Here are his last eight playoff games, nine of 22 last night, five of 18, two of 12, three of 11, six of 14, 10 of 22, one of 12, four of 17. Those are his last eight playoff games. Trey young has not been an efficient player in the postseason. Aside from some of the highs, the big game he had against the Bucks, some of the games against the Knicks, the lowly Sixers who were near an implosion with Ben Simmons, you know, the Hawks get to the Eastern Conference finals two years ago. That Knicks team was not good. The Sixers team was on the verge of blowing it up with Ben Simmons. He was imploding on the inside and he hasn't been anything since. And then they get smoked by the Bucks. Trey young going back to last year against Miami this year against Boston has not been an effective offensive presence for a guy who has a reputation of some mega stars score. He is not that and he has yet to prove that he can be a highly efficient score from the perimeter even over the course of the entire regular season for that matter. So I think it's it's wishful thinking from the hot side of things, you know, to be expecting that unless it's one of his outlier performances. Maybe you get that, but even then the Celtics team has so many ways of just destroying that weak defense. Like Atlanta's defense made so many mistakes with rotations, back cuts, like the poor rotations, like they were terrible in game two for a team that you feel like, you know, like you said, Chris, Derek White's going off. And that's partially on trade
