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?

Because Kobe is a champion. A 5-time champion. And an elite to above average defender during his peak and prime. Not just an offensive wizard.

Why are these even comparisons ?

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

Wonder if the hand ligaments are bothering him?

His name is Jrue Holiday.

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

He’s old and worn down.

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

The fans were chanting it again tonight so it's a new curse.

None of his feet were inbounds. One foot was out and the other was off the ground. Is that a violation?

From what I saw in the replay, his right foot was out of bounds, he inbounded, THEN lifted his let foot which was on the court the whole time.

Yes, I re-wound it and one foot was still briefly on the floor. Should have been a violation but considering the time and place the Bucks were still up 4 with 13.7 seconds left so the game was the Buck's to lose at this point with them in the lead and the game nearly over.

Showing it now from multiple angles

That block was so in the flow of an amazing finish we didn’t have time to appreciate it because we were still like OMG! Then Booker went foul zombie mode...so when were we gonna see replay

Booker didn’t even hit a single 3... crazy

Milwaukee had to play their big three 42 & 43 minutes to win. Great job!

He's playing shook on offense, several times he got offensive boards and just hurled them up quickly, like he was a kid in the playground surrounded by old kids.

For starters, he’s being asked to be their primary playmaker. Secondly, he’s expanding a very unappreciated amount of energy on defense while playing high minutes.

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...

That's an excuse if he wasn't turning it over early in the game. Clippers full court pressed him also, only averaged 2.0 tpg in the series, and his stamina wasn't even on point in the first few games. His handle is looking shaky similar to the Lakers series, but not nearly as bad, if he doesn't tighten that up, it's not going to work out for him the rest of the way.

Again...the fans are not in areana....guys that don’t know the game said that...

Bucks better be ready for game 5. It's basically going to be an "us versus the world" situation.

This is where Paul's age might be showing up. Jrue will wear anyone out with this, but he'll wear out an older guy faster.

Interesting why you would say that when the majority of the NBA pundits are rooting for Giannis & the bucks to win it all.

The Bucks have had the benefit of the whistle most of these series so I don't think Bucks fans have any right to complain about favorable calls.

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......

So just cause the Bucks overcame it the call is just nbd now?

Doesn’t matter that the bucks scored. Booker should’ve been out of the game.

I think CJX will agree that we need a bit more Malika Andrews in these broadcasts

Sure, but a bad argument against a bad comparison is still a bad argument :lol:
