2021 NBA Finals: Milwaukee Bucks vs Phoenix Suns BUCKS WIN THE TITLE!!!!

[adambr2]

We can doom and gloom this all we want, if the Bucks hit 60% of those bunnies early on, the whole complexion of this game is different.

 

We're down 10 instead of 16?

 

It doesn't work that way. The whole flow of the game changed if we hit some of those. We've also shot 6 free throws. I know you are a hard swinging pendulum guy but I promise we don't lose each game by 20.

 

And I'm sorry but no, the Bucks are not playing well.

 

Never said we'd lose each game by 20 so I'm not quite sure where you're going with that. We're doing some things not that great and other things fine. The Suns are just a better basketball team.

[adambr2]

Oof. We done.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

The Suns are hitting everything they are throwing up in the second half. Law of averages says that can't continue.

[FVBrewerFan]

Why is Giannis even playing if he's sitting while the Suns build a 20 point lead?

[LouisEly]

There's always things you could be doing better. Having to play the game of our life for the next 4 out of 6 games doesn't bode especially well for our chances of winning this series.

Weren't people saying the same thing after game 2 of the Nets series?

They are shooting slightly below us in 3 point percentage and about 5% better overall.

I'm not as doom and gloom as some on here right now. My biggest issue is this pick and roll. Imagine if in football a team kept running a 10 yard out to the same player and the team converted it 90 percent of the time...and the defense didn't make any adjustment to try and stop said play. It's literally the exact same thing every time down the court and the bucks aren't doing anything different. Force a switch, dribble to your spot, easy jumper from 12-15 feet. Lopez needs to play less or we need to switch less.

Here's my viewpoint, I don't think the Suns are doing anything out of the ordinary for them as a team. This isn't Trae Young going off for 50 points, this is just how they play.

[GAME05]

cripes can we hit a 5-foot shot?

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

CP3 is really good. Took him some time to get in the flow, but man. Really tough to stop.

Of course. I could be wrong. I didn't think we'd win that series. I was wrong. I don't see us winning this one either.

Third quarter. Sorry, should have elaborated. They are hitting everything they throw up in the third quarter. It was a game before then.

Why is Giannis even playing if he's sitting while the Suns build a 20 point lead?

 

He needs to gets his lungs back under him. I'd keep him out there too a little while longer.

[KeithStone53151]

He looks good because he's 1v1 iso against Lopez or Portis all night. In that much space it's a huge mismatch and we need to adjust

[DuWayne Steurer]

19 ft's vs 6. That's equitable.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I hope Middleton doesn't waste a good game in a 20 point loss.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

19 ft's vs 6. That's equitable.

 

To be fair we have not attacked inside all that well. If I have a reservation about Giannis right now it's that he hasn't looked like his usual aggressive self. Several plays in the first half where he finished soft and tried to pass where he usually finishes.

[nate82]

Would have been nice not to lose Donte I just can't watch anymore of Connaughton. Could someone please kidnap him so we don't have to see him commit another dumb foul or him jumping and running around like a chicken with its head cut off?

I get that, but it was obvious Phoenix was in the process of closing it out. It's the finals, either get him out there earlier in that run or just sit him and live to fight another day.

[GAME05]

They're forgetting what worked against Trae Young though they also have to do it against two guys now.

[GAME05]

Giannis at the 5 is the best lineup they run.

[PeaveyFury]

One team is getting the ticky tack calls, the other is the Bucks.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Bucks aren't getting a lot of calls, but some of the discrepancy is the result of driving vs. standing, dribbling, and shooting.

[PeaveyFury]

The hole might be too deep, but I really like the offense approach in the 4th so far.

[CheezWizHed]

Need more of that for Holiday. Need him to be aggressive on the offense.

[CheezWizHed]

Not entirely. There were plenty of calls (i.e. reaching in, pump-fake-defender-in-the-air) that are going PHX way, but the Bucks.
