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

[OldSchoolSnapper]

We have been overall way too sloppy in both games.

[DuWayne Steurer]

"Gets some separation"

 

Yeah, that was a push off.

[adambr2]

Probably should be happy to have the lead. That was a brutal 3 pt assault by Phoenix that quarter.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Phoenix made 8 threes in the first quarter and we're winning the game.

[young guns]

If Phoenix wants to start missing some 3s that'd be great.

[adambr2]

We have been overall way too sloppy in both games.

 

In what way in the 1st? Defensively? We're not turning the ball over, dominating the glass, doing some good things.

[bani1717]

I'll take a quarter where Phoenix scores a grand total of two points on two point attempts and free throws combined. I don't think they'll sustain 57% from three.

[GAME05]

I haven't really even noticed Lopez yet.

To be fair I missed most of the first and tuned in just in time to see us drop a rebound out of bounds.

[lcbj68c]

At least mid range jumpers are only worth 2 points

This! Of PHX 8 (EIGHT!) made 3's in the first quarter, zero came with the defender in the hip pocket of the shooter. No, I don't like Paul making mid-range jumpers like they are candy, but even moreso I hate wide open 3s.

 

BUT, if we win EVERY single quarter by 3 points and still give up 32 made 3s this game, then so be it. Will love the outcome and just close my eyes to the tv broadcast.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Holiday, c'mon man.

[DuWayne Steurer]

HOw does the announcer think that's an offensive foul? Defenders feet were moving. 2 days ago they said (when Booker did the same thing) that they don't like the foul being called on the offensive player.

[MrTPlush]

Just leave Holiday in Phoenix after the game.

[DuWayne Steurer]

If Holiday is gonna drive the paint and take those scoop layups that's great, because they're there, but he's gotta make em.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Just lazy on that sequence.

[owbc]

The Suns are quite a bit better than us it appears.

[PinaMadness]

Holiday = Bledsoe

[lcbj68c]

Holiday can defend, but if he isn't going to make free throws OR layups, he should distribute the rest of the game.

[stoutdude04]

Looked like Booker traveled after picking up that rebound that no one decided to box out on. Then no one gets back on the turnover? Lazy.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I'm getting less optimistic about this series by the minute. We can't seem to get any kind of dominant run going because they are always able to score. Throw an inopportune missed layup here and there and it feels like we scratch and claw just to stay alive, while their sequences just look effortless.

[GAME05]

How about Middleton get aggressive in place of Holiday?

[DuWayne Steurer]

Holiday = Bledsoe

 

 

Sorry, but this is a lazy narrative that keeps getting repeated, despite being false. Bledsoe flat out disappeared in the playoffs. Holiday has had some poor shooting games, while continuing to distribute the ball well, and play mostly excellent defense. Shooting bad doesn't mean a guy had a bad overall game.

That's how I feel. Everything is one step forward, two steps back. Then we get two steps and give up 3.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Not exactly the hottest of takes but when our primary inside scorer shoots 50% from the line, it's a major problem against a team that can go 25/26.

[PinaMadness]

The Bucks couldn't win in Phoenix even when the Suns were awful.
