- The inability for teams to put away weakened opponents in these Conference Finals is really opening up the deep bench portions of our scoresheets.
- With Trae Young out, you knew you were going to see some extended minutes from some names you were not used to seeing outside of complete blowouts. Kris Dunn (Andrew) and Skylar Mays (Trevor) made their Pick One debuts and while neither shined brightly, they very radiantly displayed just how bad the selection pool has become in the Eastern Conference.
- That being said, Young's replacement in the starting lineup was Lou Williams. He'd been serviceable to disappointing thus far in the postseason but his first ever playoff start saw him go for 34 PRA for Greg which allowed him to re-take second place in the standings. Not a bad way to get picked out if you ask me.
- In terms of first place, Al made Bryn Forbes the fourth player to gain Six Timers Club entry entirely through postseason selections and sixth Bucks player overall to make it in.
- Danilo Gallinari (Lou) also joined Williams in the Picked Out Posse (that name won't stick I know) meaning EIGHT Hawks are now completely picked out. Do you see why now Kris Dunn and Skylar Mays got picked!?
- For perspective, Brook Lopez (Mike) is only the fourth Buck to be completely picked out. So basically if Milwaukee blows this series, here comes the Tony Snell dart throws.
