I was going to let this go, but that's the 2nd reply you've had where you've been rude to me for no reason, so I'm going to put you in your place now, OK? First you quote me and write "it's not super complicated" as if I'm the stupid one...
Let me spell it out for you, since reading comprehension doesn't seem to be your strong point. You replying to my post and trying to argue which call was worse, when
I hadn't said either was worse than the other is the reason why I'm asking why you quoted me.
Try and read it slowly OK? Here's what I wrote (see below), please show me where I mention that either the Booker foul or Giannis not clearing the baseline is a worse no call than the other? Hint...you can't, because I merely pointed out that they were the 2 non-calls that will be dominated in the post game discussion....it's not super complicated
That was the first game this series that I thought the refs were horrendous on both ends.
The Booker 6th foul and Giannis not clearing baseline to inbounds will surely dominate the ref talk for this game, but before either of those plays I thought the Bucks were getting the short end of the stick.
Having said that, the Bucks really weren't doing themselves any favours, the continually shoot themselves in the foot with indecisiveness on offense and some complete breakdowns on defense.
On defense, just off the top of my head there was the Paul drive to the basket with no one near him, the wide open 3 for Crowder, wide open jumper for Payne and lob for Ayton that were examples of some of the worst defensive reactions I've seen in an NBA finals.
On offense there's no structure, guys are half heartedly pump faking shots that they should be taking and it's so unconvincing to the defense that they don't get any advantage of it when they put the ball on the floor and/or they're taking such poor care of the ball as they drive it into the paint off that pump fake and they have no clue what they're doing. I'm shocked to see the Bucks had just 5 turnovers, that has to be a mistake right? It felt like they had 3 times that many watching the game, maybe just a lot of bad passes or loose balls that they recovered
Giannis should be forbidden from taking 3's, Tucker has been completely useless, Holiday might have money on the Suns, he had a couple of big defensive plays at the end of the game, but if he doesn't miss so many layups/easy baskets the Bucks are likely up double digits anyway
Tucker/Holiday and Portis combined to go 5/27...your role players are supposed to play better at home, they better bring their A game in Phoenix.
I think after this series is over we're going to find out Giannis has something up, because he looks way too tired out there. Did he previously get Covid?
For the Suns, Paul chose a bad time to disappear & while Booker was huge it seemed to leave the rest of the Suns players doing way too much standing around watching. Bridges and Johnson combine to go 7-11, they needed to be more involved. Ayton was huge on the boards but MIA on offense, I think he'll play better back home.
I did say after game 3 that I felt the winner of game 4 would go ahead to win the series and I'm sticking with that, but honestly neither team has looked great, it's possible they're both dealing with fatigue having never gone this far into the playoffs, or the rest between games was too long

Talk about a great post game speech to keep the team's fighting spirit. They did a ton of things wrong and still only lost by 6 on the road.

Someone said in the other thread that the one thing the Suns did tonight was "figure out how to slow down the Greek Freak"
And I tried to quote him but thread was already locked.
That poster (whoever you are) was and is 100% wrong.
He actually and absolutely destroyed Phoenix tonight.
He damn near messed around and dropped a triple double.
Greek Freak: 26 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals with only 1 turnover. He was an efficient Greek Freak of nature and off of 11/19 (.579%) from the field too.
Good God oh mighty.
The only thing the Suns figured out was to focus too much on Giannis while blatantly letting Khris Middleton (a career A+ role player) drop 40 points with 6 rebounds and another 4 dimes.
Phoenix is done.
Series is over.
Milwaukee in 6.
Bucks celebrate @ Milwaukee.
Greek Freak + Middleton = Co-MVPs (not fair any other way).

Suns got this. They were already in this situation against the defending champs in the first round. I think the Suns will win decisively in game 5 and finish the series on the road.

It seems like the first two games the bucks just needed Middleton/Jrue to step up to make it a game and Phx couldn't miss.
Game 3 was easily Milwaukee.
Game 4 booker was lights out, cp3 was awful, Middleton stepped up and it was down to the wire.
I bet on the bucks after game 2, I knew this would be a series. It's a chess match. I'll say that if Holiday can just make a few shots it's going to be really tough for phx. They are doing this and have only gotten 12 good offensive minutes from Jrue.

Giannis was coming back from injury. People don't realize how much of a difference this makes. Bucks were used to running through Middleton/Jrue then suddenly had to adjust. Middleton and jrue both followed with 2 stinkers. This is a diff team than game 1 & 2

That's an awful post game speech.
If I were a HC I would've been honest and challenged my kids.
"You just let both Greek Freak and Middleton destroy you and your childhood dreams of winning an NBA Championship are fading and fading fast and this Milwaukee team doesn't fear you one bit. And they're not destroyed by INJURY like everyone else you beat".That's what I would've said as a longtime suffering Knicks fan in order to light a FIRE into my kids while facing NBA reality.
Worst speech I've ever heard. He keeps preaching "3 games to win two" when he should be stressing one possession @ a time because two more loses and his kids DONT EVEN SEE A 3RD GAME!
He's setting his kids up for failure with that rah rah cheerleading mentality.
I'm a Jets fan. I've despised Bill Belichick. But coming off of two road loses? In his locker room? He would've MUMBLED and wouldn't have set his own kids up for failure like that.
F-.

Bucks in 7. The Suns have to make a lot of shots to beat this Bucks defense, and the Bucks will get theirs. I'm not sure if the role players will have the shooting touch needed to win game 6 or 7. They will get game 5 tho.

Can the Bucks win a game in Phoenix despite consistent poor games from Jrue Holiday.
Find out on the next episode of Basketball Z
