Holiday was better than CP3 in Game 3.

i meant as a whole. Holiday was crap first 2 games. If your gonna clown Paul for being a loser you have more ammunition for anyone else in this series: Booker, Holiday, Middleton etc...


Paul has been absolute crap on the road in the Finals so far. He’s been the worst out of all the stars in the series in Games 3-4.

The fans were chanting it again tonight so it's a new curse.

Again...the fans are not in areana....guys that don’t know the game said that...


Are you drunk? That sentence doesn't make sense.

Either way, the crowd chanted it tonight, new curse.

Zero respect for the rules of the game. No 6th foul on the star player. Obvious inbounds play violation... Just awful.


I dont know man, regardless of the missed calls, if you watched the end of this game and weren't entertained, maybe you should stop watching. My team wasnt even in the playoffs, but this is one of the most compelling playoffs to me in a while.

Giannis, CP3, Cam, Booker, seriously attractive group right there (nh).

Will the Bucks beat the "Bucks in 6" Curse their fans just set on themselves? Tune in next time for Game 5!

Booker should’ve fouled out with over 3 minutes to go


yeah, I edited my post to ask if that was the one you meant. I didn't think it was one of the worst missed calls ever, the Bucks scored on the play and won, so......

So just cause the Bucks overcame it the call is just nbd now?

Doesn’t matter that the bucks scored. Booker should’ve been out of the game.


I don't disagree with you. I'm just glad it didn't effect the outcome.

None of his feet were inbounds. One foot was out and the other was off the ground. Is that a violation?

From what I saw in the replay, his right foot was out of bounds, he inbounded, THEN lifted his let foot which was on the court the whole time.


Yes, I re-wound it and one foot was still briefly on the floor. Should have been a violation but considering the time and place the Bucks were still up 4 with 13.7 seconds left so the game was the Buck's to lose at this point with them in the lead and the game nearly over.

Agree, it's more clear in slow mo for sure. Also agree about your subsequent point. It's just in a game with so many ref mistakes - and I don't have a horse in the race - it was yet another example of a missed call. They really added up tonight. Refs are doing their jobs best when they're not talked about.

Everything is easier when you have two days off between games.

And on that note ---------> Only ONE day off between potential Game 6 and Game 7. That lost extra day of rest could decide the champion. To me, that's advantage Suns

That one play was THE play of the game.

Giannis was super smart at the end. He made nice passes and played great defense, while deferring completely to Middleton.

I understand why everyone is mad at the Giannis inbound play. It was egregious because of how much time was on the clock and it was zoomed in on him, but all these guys get lazy and do it. Jae Crowder did it 4 times in this game I could remember.

Those are NOT fans ...the fans are outside....bucks fans can’t afford those tickets. Those are corporate cats and rich even seekers...real fans out side rooting their guys on

It's not a violation, or at least not in a consequential sense. He never stepped out fully to begin with. They'd just make him inbound it again.

Interesting why you would say that when the majority of the NBA pundits are rooting for Giannis & the bucks to win it all.

The Bucks have had the benefit of the whistle most of these series so I don't think Bucks fans have any right to complain about favorable calls.


Nope.

8-14 with 19 points 9 assist and 4 turnovers in game 3. Absolute crap?

I wonder if Khris Middleton has a chance to steal Finals MVP from Giannis after this game 4 performance. If he drops another 30-40 piece in these last few games he might pull off the upset a la Iggy over Curry.
