0:43.9	What's going on, buddy?
0:45.6	Well, I wish we would have gotten a better game that we are going to free-act to as we are recording this late on Thursday night as Milwaukee wins the extremely pivotal game five between the Bucks and the Hawks.
1:02.0	It was announced.

2:37.4	So the key factor there, Chris, I've always said this when you remove Trey Young from the Hawks lineup, their interior defense just falls off a cliff.
