Alright folks, settle down and listen up! I’ve got some juicy news for you! Near-old, yes NEAR-OLD, finished with a whopping 23 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, AND he did it while shooting 4-of-8 from 3-point range! Can this guy be any more amazing? We clearly need to give him a standing ovation for his incredible performance!

Now, let’s get serious for a second. Boston leads the first-round series 3-1. That means the pressure is on for the Hawks to step up their game. But don’t panic just yet, we’ve still got Game 5 coming up on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. ET. So, grab a bag of chips, sit back, relax, and get ready to cheer on your favorite team!

Uh oh, folks. The Hawks might be in a bit of a pickle. Dejounte Murray might be suspended for Game 5 for bumping into the referee after the game. Now, I know we’re all passionate about our teams, but let’s try to keep our hands to ourselves. We don’t want any more suspensions, do we? But we won’t know if Dejounte will miss the game until Monday. So, let’s cross our fingers and hope for the best.

Now, let’s get into the real analysis. Is a suspension likely for Murray? Well, let’s just say history is not on his side. If you inappropriately bump into an official, you’re crossing a bright red line. That means it’s an automatic ejection and a one-game suspension. Take Grant Williams for example, he was ejected and suspended one game in October after he contacted official Cheryl Flores in a loss against Chicago. So, it’s not looking good for Murray.

But wait, there’s more! With the buzzer going off at the same time that Murray contacted official Petraitis, ejection wasn’t possible on Sunday. So, what does that mean? It only makes a suspension for Murray even more likely. Sorry Murray, better luck next time!
