i wonder if divicenzo injured has limited bucks more than we think

he is only an average starting player but by losing him their depth has became a issue

at the very least they wouldnt need to use forbes/teague which have been defensive issues while also not hitting their 3's

Oh it's definitely hurt them. Their bench took a hit in the offseason, so losing a starter hurts them even more than usual. Guys like Bobby Portis and Jeff Teague wouldn't be in their 2019-20 rotation. It's just that, as I mentioned a few weeks ago, so many other more consequential injuries have happened that it's been completely forgotten. :lol:

What has happened to DeAndre Ayton’s hands this series?

Paul is going to take a lot of heat if the Suns end up losing this series.

Yeah Paul not looking great.

Bucks looking like they are on the way to winning this

This is the best I've seen Giannis play in the playoffs. He's just so much better when he's playing off someone else and not so coincidentally, Jrue and Middleton have finally both made an appearance. He's doing less and the Bucks are so much better now.

This is just insane shot making from the Bucks. Feels like it’s the first time I’ve seen it from them all playoffs.

They are also getting really good looks. And a big reason is how Giannis has adjusted his game. I really think he's starting to figure it out.

Giannis finally being weaponized as a screener is def a big(the main) part of it but combine it with Jrue hitting mid range pull ups fading to his right and you get this kind of offensive performance.

Also the Suns offense has devolved into iso Booker every possession. This series is over if that’s all they have left In their arsenal.

This is the best Giannis has ever looked. He's playing exactly how he should be. Feels like things are really clicking for him.

Giannis has looked better than this.... literally last game. Hes played well but hes been the 3rd best Buck on the floor this game.

GSP · Post #5033 » by **GSP** » Sun Jul 18, 2021 3:02 am

Jrue is annihilating Cp3 like he did to Dame years ago

Hes a Hof level player in his prime IMO

It blows my mind that this Bucks team is on the verge of winning the title. :lol:

This could be a watershed moment for Giannis though. Not many teams could deal with him playing at this level.

Middleton has also been awesome.

Talking about this series overall homie.

Giannis's production won't look like some of the playoff games he's had in the past, but he's playing in a way that's maximizing the play of his team. To me, that's far more important than what his box score says.

To be fair, CP3 hasn't been able to do much of anything against anyone tonight. It's hard to say this but it's looking like father time. His body can't keep up in a grueling series like this.

Prolly the best defensive guard of this gen or at least the last 5-6 years. Can guard 1-4 with how many wings play 4 now and even some 5s

and also averages 19/7/5/2/1 on .562. Go under screens and he can hit pullup 3s well. Go over and hes prolly a top 3 guard and getting to the rim and finishing altho hes struggled this playoff with that. Also an excellent passer and offensiv rebounder for a guard.

There arent many guards in the league that had a better postseason than 18 Jrue and 21 Jrue has been the best defensive guard postseason of this era

Well that was an insane finish…
