Agreed...just too hurt now. If you had told me at the beginning of the season we would make the ECF, I would have thought you were crazy.

I just wish we could have seen what this team could do with Hunter against the Bucks.

You missed watching Nique.

We are in the same spot as with a better 76Rs team and good things happened.

All is not lost.

Milwaukee is better than Philadelphia and no Trae Young hurts a little.

No, they are not better by a long shot than the 76rs.

I'm feeling pretty good right now with Hawks efforts and Cam Reddish is back in the line up!

Hope Giannis' injury isn't too severe though.

Yeah once Giannis went down it was game over. Hope nothing is torn but I am not very optimistic at the moment.

Lets keep this going, and get one more back in Milwaukee.

A potential Finals-clinching Game 6 ECF game the day before the 4th of July, on a Saturday night, has the potential to beat out the 2016 NFC title game as the rowdiest sporting event in Atlanta history.

One game at a time. Let it ride!!!!

1998 Divisional Round against San Francisco can hold its own against anyone, and nothing tops Sid's Slide as far as crowd noise and sheer delirium.

My Pops was at both and he said the Matt Ryan 17 yard scramble is the loudest moment he's ever heard...

May it have been because it's a dome? Maybe. But there's no way Sid's slide was louder in an outdoor stadium.

That game was balls to the wall for 3 hours... probably the most fun I've had in my life as a sports fan.

However, I've heard some old-timers say the '98 game against SF was deafening, especially when Ray Buchanon picked off that ball. Those old-school Dome crowds I've heard were SOMETHING.

FWIW, for several reasons, I think this was the biggest win in franchise history and there were a whole lot of factors that went into that crowd being so loud. Mostly, the Falcons had never won a divisional round game to that point and the 49ers had beaten our asses like a rented mule twice a year for most of the last 20 years prior to 1998.

How we all feeling about Game 5 tonight?

Giannis is officially ruled out, but what's the word on Trae?

I’d feel really good if we just played Cam and Khris Dunn on Middleton as much as humanly possible. Without hi. Going nuclear like he did in Game 3, we can absolute out-score them, with or without Ice Trae.

Need to see Capela healthy and have him, Collins, and Okongwu dominate the boards without Giannis.

Reddish needs to throw Middleton into the torture chamber for the rest of the series. He was a damn menace to society when he got hot in Game 3 and I hope we don't have to see him pop off like that again. I'm hoping that the pressure of being one of the few scoring options left, with no bailout from the 6'11 fry cook, does a number to Middleton's mentals.

I'm feeling really good about JC having a solid game tonight. He set the tone prior to Game 4 with his letter in the Players' Tribune, but I want to see him be the dude tonight.

Acuna Jr grand slam is the loudest I’ve ever heard a sporting event and I’ve been at some damn good ones. I literally thought the stadium was going to collapse
