Series doesn’t start until the road team wins a game?RaceBannon said:Game 1

I think this kind of misses the mark but also highlights how bad it is.RaceBannon said:
Fair? I think so
At 30 million a year he should be shooting 8 hours a day
Then again he gets 30 million a year and can't shoot
A lot of guys never become good three point shooters. Kobe and Wade were never great 3 point shooters, I don’t think anyone is ever going to call them lazy.
Yes, he can’t shoot but the bigger problem is that you can’t even begin to fix that problem because he won’t shoot. He’s scared of the ball in the 4th quarter and he’s scared to shoot 3s. It’s bigger than “fix your shooting motion”. -
Suns looked strong again. Once again the Bucks rotations were stupid. The key to the series is Bridges and He’s moar than delivered. Monty Williams adjusted and said that Middleton isn’t getting his and Gia can get what He wants. And He did. Still wasn’t close.
Losing Craig tonight hurts though. Suns bench is thin now with 2 injuries in 2 games. Bucks are best playing bully ball. If Holiday actually shows up to the Finals, it could be 2-2. -

All comes down to Sunday as to whether we have a series. Suns look better
LeGiannis needs the others to stop being soft
Suns look better have to admit -
Skip says the Bucks are a better playoff team without Giannis. Moves Lopez to the post, allows Middleton and Holiday the space and opportunity with the ball to do what they do best. Their numbers from games 5 & 6 versus Atlanta actually back up that argument.

Yeah but when the big guy puts in 40 find a way to do your job
Two players have scored 30 points in the second half of a Finals game
Isiah Thomas the Elder and Giannis
Bucks aren't out of it but the margin of error is gone -
They also played the Hawks who overall are not a good team and only win when Trae is shooting his tits off. Skip use to be OK with his takes now he is just a senile hot take bandwagoner that cares more about his Lebron and Cowboys schtick than having good analysis.BleachedAnusDawg said:Skip says the Bucks are a better playoff team without Giannis.

But now I’ve seen Skip twice here.
Skip.

Very few media to listen to on the radio who are talking NBA in the Seattle market. It's basically Skip and Chris Broussard.Kaepsknee said:I thought this was the higher discushun bored.

Bucks had to win one to get to Suns in 5.

I left the bar pretty early. Beat down in games 1 and 2. Wake me up when you win game 4 and 5.TheKobeStopper said:Bucks had to win one to get to Suns in 5.
They don't have enough pure shooters to match the Suns. -
My Bucks are alive
Giannis is doing something historic. Now he needs to FINISH
Don't be afraid to embrace a new generation. -

What a stupid hot take to pretend the Bucks are better without Giannis. He’s not a perfect player but he’s great.RaceBannon said:My Bucks are alive

I would love to see him win with the Bucks after the media did their typical bullshit and tried to get him to a big market after last year’s flameout. -
They were kinda right though? The Bucks aren’t a real championship contender. They’re down 2-1 to a team that would have been knocked out in the first round if everyone was healthy. They were down 2-0 to the Nets and still were a toe away from losing to Durant by himself.RoadDawg55 said:

Banners fly forever or whatever but this is either the last championship he ever wins or the closest he’ll ever get with the Bucks. No one is even going to pick them to make the Finals next year, much less win it. -
Even if he wins he loses. Might as well not even play the gameTheKobeStopper said:

They beat the Nets by the way.
Next season is lebron v giannis from day 1if the Bucks win

lol what?
Suns near coasted, wgaf if the Lakers and Clippers weren't healthy. Those GMs knew it when they took AD and KL that they were taking a risk.
I still think the Suns are a better modern NBA team but Bucks bully people and run the damn ball.
If they win tomorrow they're in it. If they win 2 in a row and Booker goes cold again it could be theirs.
Great series. Everybody love it. -
If the Suns keep guarding Giannis with Booker its over
-
More like Holiday guarding Booker. Saw a stat the Booker is something like 1-12 with Jrue in his grill.RaceBannon said:If the Suns keep guarding Giannis with Booker its over
Suns need 20 from Book to win. But still will in six.

LIPO on that one. Lakers need to add a real third wheel, and AD's health is fragile.RaceBannon said:

They did beat the Nets and the Bucks are allowed to improve their team around Giannis.TheKobeStopper said:

Nobody thought Dirk would win a title either. Giannis will make another finals run in the next five years. -

Can someone explain what these coward coaches are doing with challenges? Each in the last 5 minutes had a chance to challenge a call that would have gone their way and just did nothing. Saving em for OT.

I think LeBron has one more year at best, if time hasn't already ran out. Call it a Last Dance. Maybe make a series out of it.
If AD stops being a pussy and they get the right pieces we could have a last run at it
It's wide open otherwise especially if the Bucks don't close this out -
If Giannis pulls this off it could be a start to a special run
