Wait did they have the WNBA all star game during the finals? Strange decision

It's basically 20 minutes of straight commercials. Free money for them

Giannis: "I'm good, thanks."

CP3: "Com' on, Freak. Let's get some Taco Bell. The food of champions. It's what Lebron eats before a Finals game."

Booker: "Yessir, let's pick up some Taco Bell, so we're all ready for the game."

Giannis (gets into the lowrider): "Geez, thanks, guys!"

You know what happens next ...

uh, yeah...

Yea, that might be true in this one. They aren't just turning it over, they aren't forcing any

Yet it’s a tie game with him having a bad game. Bucks could easily win this even with him playing like this. Says a lot about the Suns.

12/7/4 at half is a bad game? He's come back down. The Suns are walling the paint like most teams do against Giannis. They're playing the numbers. Khris Midds and Jrue aren't a sure thing.

It was a very bad half for Giannis. He had no energy the entire half.

I agree, Tatum has had a larger degree of success in the league so far, (Booker made a big splash tho by making the finals in 1st postseason) and has a higher ceiling than either Book or Beal.

He showed that when he dropped 50 points in a play-in game and dropped another 50 to get a W against the Nets superteam, all while playing on a Celtics team missing their second best player and Kemba was dealing with injuries as well

Yeah you splitting hairs - trade these dudes for each other and the team will be exactly the same....

Beal all nba team so I don’t think Tatum is a different tier

What gives Tatum a higher ceiling and the ability to be better than the other 2 is that he has higher athleticism than Booker, and he has a more ideal size than both. Both those attributes give him the tools to be a better defender and overall player than both Beal and Booker.

Even with Giannis struggling and Holiday we have a tie game. I understand the Bucks are at home and should win but Chris Paul has to be better than this. Really poor effort by him and the Suns overall are extremely sift. Might be a matter of time before this is a blowout if Giannis picks things up.

Booker on pace for 40+. Don’t think MIL can win this game if that’s the case. They don’t have enough offense for that. Have to hope he cools off.

The Suns are staying in it because Booker is going off and hitting tough fade aways. They need to be able to generate easier shots. You can count on 1 hand the amount of clean looks at the rim they got, that's not good and will have to change for them to win.

Tatum is a better defensive player than the 2 of them. That’s a big reason he’s above them for me

He'll be fine as long as he "exorcised the demon" at half time. We all know Taco Bell digests in the matter of minutes.

My best friend can't eat Taco Bell unless he is sitting on the toilet while doing so.

After the 4 OT game, Giannis is wondering why the Taco Bell only bothered him.

Giannis: "That Taco Bell tasted good, guys, but it did a number on my stomach for real."

Booker: "That's odd. We're fine."

CP3: "Plus I even added some of my secret stuff to your drink. There's no way it made you sick, man. We're family!"

Phoenix is in pretty good shape. Milwaukee had only two turnovers. They attempted 13 free throws to 6.

Ayton has been big on the boards. I think that bodes well in the second half.
