Giannis asked to come out. He was limping.

I thought so. But it should have been a shot clock violation. Assuming refs rightfully made the no call.

Honestly holiday is costing the bucks this game. Too tentative, he’s lost confidence.

If the Bucks lose this, the series is over. My prediction was Suns in 6. Might be 5.

Suns are very good at keeping a lead, Bucks have to play sharper from the very beginning of the game

Not really. Him and Saric are decent rotation players but their 9th and 10th men

They only need their top 8 to win this series now that this is the final round


8th and 9th men but your point stands. Phoenix can run with 7 the rest of the way just fine if they need to. As long as no one else gets hurt they won’t feel those losses at all.

He just hit another three. Lead is back to again.

He has been super clutch this game.

Phoenix's backcourt is tough, both him and CP are solid run stoppers

You’re kidding right? You actually think that’s cramping?

I thought Giannis would be limited and Middleton and Holiday would have to carry them. But holy **** if these guys just played decent they’d be up by 10

He looks like he's been pulling non stop all nighters for an exam that he'll know that he's inevitably going to fail.

Holiday is such an overrated player offensively. People are expecting him to play better, but he has never been anything more than mediocre playing off the dribble throughout his career

Ankle. He came down off the blocked shot and his right ankle appeared to roll. Might’ve landed on top of a foot of a Phoenix player.
The Wizards shoukd have drafted Derik Queen

I told you so :banghead:

Lopez is getting torched on defense right now.
Bud needs to make an adjustment.

He does. I'd rather him have this game at home than on the road. Harder to win on the road if he's not going.
