NBA Playoffs Hawks-Bucks: Here's What Twitter Is Saying Before Game 1

The Atlanta Hawks visit the Milwaukee Bucks for Game 1 on Wednesday in Milwaukee.

The Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks will face off in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Wednesday evening in Wisconsin.

There are only four teams left in the NBA Playoffs; Hawks, Bucks, Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Clippers.

Here is what Twitter is saying before the game.

Excited to see Bucks/Hawks because everything tells me the Bucks should let loose and the matchups are in their favor but that’s also assuming the Bucks won’t lose the plot which is a lot. And forgetting about the Hawks gameplan D. And Trae Young vs. drop defense.

Everybody is saying the Hawks are gonna be dominated by the Giannis and the Bucks but they said that against the Knicks and the Sixers so the correct answers are not on this here app
