2020-21 NBA *Playoffs* Thread: Bucks are the champs and you can take that to the bank bromigos (2 Viewers)

[identikit]

Man, what a possession right there.

 

[gruecd]

Really ####### sick of Chris Paul’s flopping 

 

[mr. furley]

Bucks have one guy who can shoot somewhat consistently. one guy who can score down low that they play at the three point line. one guy who can dunk from half court, but nothing else.

and a coach who can't figure out how to put anything together at either end.

Yep

Against a good defensive team like the Suns, Bucks lack of offensive weapons exposed.

Theyll shoot better at home.

How about the free throw disparity tonight?

Since that was important to you game 1.

Call it what you want - BS gamesmanship maybe, but that should not have been a blocking foul called on Paul. 
 

 

[The Dude]

As of now, I don’t give the bucks much of a shot.  The question is will they win one or two before it’s done

 

[need2know]

Happy for the sun's but man this is an awful finals.    Bucks have no shot

The Suns played a fantastic quarter while the Bucks just fell apart. The game is still easily within reach if the Bucks wake up but they need to play their best basketball over the next 24.

They’ll prob play better at home, but you can start the bus tonight…

Go suns!!!!!!

4-16 from three

Suns 11-24

the NBA is a game of three pointers. if you aren't knocking em down you're getting blown out.

Looks like the problem is there’s room to play better and still get beat by 6 to 8 points 

 

[caustic]

It’s wild how Giannis’s FT line jumper is pretty decent but his actual FTs aren’t.

 

[identikit]

This game ain't over.

 

[gruecd]

Holiday should’ve flopped when Chris Paul dipped his shoulder into him there

4-16 from three

Suns have better shooters.

 

[NutterButter]

Now that was a great flop

 

[gruecd]

Jae Crowder has never committed a foul

Bucks were bound to tighten things up again after these posts were made.

 

[NutterButter]

Jae Crowder has never committed a foul 

I think he's Tucker's lost twin.  Both play the same game and complain incessantly about fouls.   

 

[identikit]

Dagger 3s just when they need them

 

[The Dude]

Middleton mia

 

[gruecd]

Another non-foul on Crowder

 

[gruecd]

Middleton mia

Pathetic. Not even looking for his shot. He and Jrue are both broke.

 

[NutterButter]

 Payne

 

[gruecd]

And now we just recklessly run into the opposing player and it’s a foul on them.

 

[gruecd]

I understand the strategy, but this Hack-a-Giannis BS is annoying AF

 

[caustic]

Kaminsky time!

 

[NutterButter]

I've never heard of Mark Bryant

 

[trader jake]

Giannis is an absolute beast.  Part of me is just happy he's out there at all, but he's getting it done.  To be playing this hard, taking this much punishment, and with that knee is great to watch.  He's leaving it all on the court.

 

[NutterButter]

  Oh Pat

 

[Zegras11]

Flopera

 

[caustic]

Did Craig get kneed in the jewels there?

Feel bad for him.  Playing like a finals mvp and getting no help

 

[identikit]

Another dagger 3

 

[identikit]

Overdue for some Ayton

 

[Chaos Commish]

Another dagger 3

no daggers yet, this is a good game

 

[identikit]

no daggers yet, this is a good game

Dagger 3 as in a momentum buster shot

If that makes sense

 

[msudaisy26]

Love Jrue, but he has missed like 5 lay ups tonight. Not sure what is going on. 

 

[NutterButter]

Looks like Jrue's confidence is shot

 

[Chaos Commish]

Love Jrue, but he has missed like 5 lay ups tonight. Not sure what is going on. 

With the exception if Giannis, Bucks players have been mediocre to bad... yet it's still a game.

Booker has had two or three of those already in Game 2.  The Bucks get within striking distance and he hits another from deep.  His offensive game is so nice.  Also respect his willingness to take the big shots.

Booker has also gotten off three end of quarter heaves too.  End of half and end of 3rd in Game 1 and end of 3rd tonight.  Way too many players don't want the ball or will throw it up just after the buzzer to save their stats...not Booker.  Gotta respect that.

 

[caustic]

Suns are going into clock bleeding mode way too early.

 

[identikit]

Wow

 

[identikit]

Suns out-hustling.

Ice water in their veins

 

[caustic]

Bucks are looking gassed.

 

[Pipes]

Embarrassing effort by Middleton tonight.  For crying out kid you’re an all star play like one

 

[TripItUp]

Bucks are right there if Middleton shows up 

Much better team defense tonight, just not enough help for Giannis.

Are eastern conference “allstars” really allstars?
