Jrue, one of my favorite players making all the big plays tonight made me so happy. And if there is a player in the league I like less than Devin Booker I don't know who it could be. So glad to see him lose again.

Baffling foul on Giannis by CP.. I hope folks realize how dangerous that could have been.

Booker had a timeout and could’ve passed it out to Paul to reset but was just dead set on forcing a something and Jrue knew that’s exactly what he would do.

What an awesome game 5. I would've just held the ball at the end if I was jrue, but I guess trusting one of the best rim threats in league history isn't a bad idea.

He's an incredibly talented scorer with like zero feel for the game and the biggest sense of entitlement for a guy who has done relatively little in the league. Just a super annoying player. I'm guessing his girlfriend makes him believe he's a much bigger deal than he actually is. But man no player gets away with showing up refs as much as this guy or gets away with as many obvious fouls. Again tonight late, he has his arm wrapped all the way around Middleton twisting his body obvious in real time and nothing.

I thought the Suns played really well. Can't really do much when the Bucks shoot the basketball like that. That's why they needed to win game 4.

Suns shot 55/68/91 and lost lol.

I remember people IRL trying to gaslight me (a Lakers fan) into rooting for the Suns, because they were like "How can you root against guys like Booker and CP3? They're great players" even tho I've hated how much they whine and do dirty **** for years.

I'm REALLY enjoying seeing everyone turn on those two over the course of the series.

Jrue and khris worth every penny and more. They’ve been insane. Jrues defense is next level.

Giannis, since game 6 of the nets series has been all time level. Just best player in the world level and then some

I actually really enjoy Chris Paul. I find his antics a mix of amusing and inspired--he's always been that crafty veteran who knows every trick--even when he was 20 years old.

It's just Booker who I can't stand.

Why?

Don't get me wrong, I love to see him lose because I hate his **** fanboys. Act like his efficient scoring outpaces the impact of guys that are much better than he is, don't acknowledge the super friendly whistle he gets.... I just don't dislike him as a player/person all that much.

Yeah this series has made me change my tune a bit as well. He's really a very good player but the whining has reached the next level this series. He's played generally pretty well too but he got away with a reach on Middleton late as well and then turned and complained about the OOB call.

He's still really good, but this whole series I feel like I've seen a lot of complaining from that side in particular. And just a super fun finals.

I'm not gonna say anything about Giannis in fear of jinxing the man. But yes.

Giannis has been insane this series

Completely gone up a level offensively

I'm sure we're all waiting for the MartinToVaught post.

Quicker, smarter and more decisive. Less is more.

Jrue was incredible tonight. Absolutely the Player of the Game. If he could only do this reliably, he's be a superstar.

No really what the **** is this? Why don't players respect giannis?
