Na cp3 choked the last couple of games and wasnt that good with all those TOs in game 2.
Giannis might have a case but the closer is clearly middleton, if the bucks win it means he had some epic games like tonights.

CP3 Has been significantly better than everyone but Giannis through the first 3 games


What? He was great in game 1, mediocre in 2 with his 6 TOs, and absolutely terrible in 3 and 4. Cam Johnson has been better than him the last two games. Ayton has certainly been better than him this series over all, as has Booker. Not too many players I root against, but happy to see the league’s biggest all-time whiner and flopper fail again spectacularly.

For him, that's like 25 turnovers for a normal guy.

Wonder if the hand ligaments are bothering him?

Nope, Jrue pressed him full-court, with body checking, bumping and all, always on the edge of a foul. That **** tires you trough 40 minutes...

Great win for Bucks, they deserved it more, too many turnovers for Suns. Its sas that such great game from Booker is wasted...

For the 4th straight game Bucks look equal to or better than the Suns when they downsize or go athletic. Stop going back to what isn't working. Booker went from easy PnR layups to tough fadeaways. He torched both but one is less sustainable.

Check the front page on the Gen board.

I see, but them losing this game doesn't say anything about the Kobe comparisons. Kobe didn't sweep through the finals or never lose in the playoffs. Why does a loss equal an lol at the comparison?

Sit down cause he fouled out and have refs tell him...”Booker get back out there you still got one more foul at least!”

His name is Jrue Holiday.



Definite props. Paul just doesn't turn the ball over like this.

So the Suns win two home games and it is over and now the Bucks win two home games and it is over for the Suns. This is probably a 7 game series with the Suns coming out cause of homecourt.

Same, I'm a big Giannis hater but he's been playing the game the right way whereas Paul is flopping, Booker is mean mugging everyone while begging for calls, and Payne shoots threes sideways which is just crazy.

The refs clearly trying to keep booker in the game convinced me to back the bucks

I wish I know how to create memes :lol:



He could cut 4 or 5 players in half, finally get called for the foul, then spin his fingers for the review

No words. Bucks executed better down the stretch.
Lets hope the refs allow the players to just play the game.
I dont want to see any more ticky tack foul calls on either side.

We have a series. Lets go

He's been complete garbage all game.


Everyone wants to keep popping on Holiday but he’s THE MAIN REASON Paul’s been turning it over significantly more than usual this series.

That's the weird the realgm board came to conclusion the Jrue would be by far the option on Paul. It took coach Bud 2 f'en games to figure that out. Doh!

Size and physical play are taking effect.

Monty Williams would be wise to consider going deeper on his bench and playing Jalen Smith some. Energy by Portis swung things,, that needs to be matched.

Will the Bucks beat the "Bucks in 6" Curse their fans just set on themselves? Tune in next time for Game 5!


The Bucks in 6 curse is already over. The ATL series was the first time we won in 6 since Jennings said it

Giannis may not have exploded on offense tonight, but that last block shows why having a DPOY who is also an MVP means so much. Defense can get it done as much as offense.

Were you watching the game? There’s literally no way you missed it unless you weren’t watching when it happened

Booker should’ve fouled out with over 3 minutes to go


yeah, I edited my post to ask if that was the one you meant. I didn't think it was one of the worst missed calls ever, the Bucks scored on the play and won, so......

He's starting to believe it too much but he simply doesn't have the athleticism, strength, nor the first step that Kobe had. The one thing I thought he would do all night(mid-range wiper fadeaways) he did maybe like twice tonight. Doesn't finish well through contact at all.

Should’ve been 8 points. He got an uncontested layup with 2.2 seconds left because the game was over.
