Brook Lopez has said more than once that he won't think about free agency until the playoffs are over, and his play would indicate he doesn't want to face that decision too soon. He's averaging 19.7 points, 11.3 rebounds and 1.67 blocks per game against the Hawks this series. In his last playoff series, vs. the Bulls two years ago, he went for 22.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.0 blocks. Lopez is not just producing, but producing when it counts.
"He’s a top tier dude," Jarrett Jack told SheridanHoops Mike Scotto after Game 3.
