It feels like the Bucks have taken control of this series, but they’ve been a wishy washy team all playoffs, and I’m not 100 percent confident in them if we’re being honest. The Hawks have issues with the questionable status of Young, and if he’s not able to be his normal self, it’s going to be hard to get back in this series. With all that said, the Hawks are a feisty team that won’t go down easily and the Bucks still aren’t a worldbeater. It took a lot of things to break right for the Bucks to win game three. This is still a lot of points. Give me the Hawks and the free buckets, assuming Young can at least give it a go.
