NBA PLAYOFFS: Atlanta vs. Milwaukee

Share

3. ATLANTA VS. 6 MILWAUKEE

Season series: Hawks, 2-1.

Key stat: The Bucks finished 27-11 to the Hawks’ 19-13 but lost star center/comeback player of year front-runner Andrew Bogut.

The Hawks still aren’t ready for prime time, leveling off again after their 33-17 start with their one-dimensional “Iso-Joe” offense, isolating Joe Johnson.

With Bogut, it wouldn’t have been a shocker if the no-name Bucks (Carlos Delfino? Luc Richard Mbah a Moute?) had beaten the Hawks.

Prediction: Without Bogut, the Bucks finished 4-2 but get serious. Atlanta in five.
