when i was growing up in the 90s the white guys would always knock down the open jumpers in the clutch

We stopped pushing the pace. Looks like Clippers Suns Game 3 all over again

Middleton is such a roller coaster player. So annoying to see everyone around Giannis suck ass

It's crazy how Bucks can stick around while playing so underwhelmingly offensively.

He's no Joe Harris.

19 to 8 3pt advantage for the Suns but the 56 to 43 reb is what is keeping the Bucks in the game. Especially +10 on the OREB.

They went 2-0 without him in the Ecf to make the finals.......

The Bucks inability to make open 3s, and the Suns ability to hit bailout/ heavily contested 3s has been the only difference in this game.

The Bucks have absolutely mauled them otherwise.

What is Paul doing? He is becoming a black hole on offense

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.

You're also wrong. 7 deep with one guy over 6'6? Losing Craig would be a huge loss for us after Saric

I can't believe the Bucks are only down 6. *checks box score* Giannis has 36 of their 97 points. Oh, that makes sense.

Are they evenly matched?

Suns seem like too much for them

But the injuries to Saric and Craig hurt a bit (but DDV is clearly the best of those 3)

Bucks in this game but they get the ball in the end to connaughton. PHX will take that all night long.

My point to you, is, that’s not Giannis to do that non stop, over the course of time, especially if he’s hurt and now he’s on the bench looking hemmed up. You expecting something from a player that’s not going to do that. This is the same man that had one legged Harden on him and took a fadeaway lol. He’s always going to pull up or take questionable shots.

Except he's been doing it for the majority of the game, I'm not expecting something different from what he has displayed, just a more consistent basis and be aware of time/possession when settling.

That’s NOT going to happen bro lol that’s what I’m saying.

Who wins the 2021 NBA Finals
