NBA Finals: Milwaukee Bucks vs. Phoenix Suns, Part 3 | Bucks lead 3-2

[pj0tr]

I wouldn't be worried about a Game 7 in Phoenix is I'm a Bucks fan.

Giannis is by far the best player in the series and they have proven to be the mentally tougher team.

With Chris Paul breaking down physically its basically Booker or bust for their offense.

Suns role players usually play better at home. Cam Johnson probably had his worst game of the playoffs last night though.

Booker probably doesn't go for 40+ for a 3rd straight game, so Milwaukee likely wins comfortably, if not a blowout.

What are the chances the bucks shoots 57.5% with both Jrue and Middleton combine for another 56 points shooting great from 3?

Not great, but the Suns are a young team who has never been under this type of pressure before.

Now Milwaukee is at home, and that place will be rocking.

Everything basically points to the Bucks blowing them out on Tuesday.

I would actually say there's a good chance if shooting that way again especially at home and a great chance at that if Suns play the same defense, so yeah really good chance.

Jrue is definitely not as bad offensively as he's been playing in the playoffs this year. After his last performance, I don't think you will see another 4 for 20 game from him this series.

Suns blew their chance to capitalize while he was breaking records for missed layups, that ship has sailed and its gonna be a lot tougher now.

Tons of Suns fans blaming CP3. I thought he played well. Cut down on his turnovers. He really only has 1 really bad game in the finals...last game. Dumb foul on Giannis at the end but don't know that it mattered.

He needs to play better than well/average/decent. Disappeared for 2 quarters and showed up when it was too late. He's a superstar not a role player. He's still one of the main reasons Suns are in the finals but outside of the 1st 2 games he's been holding the team back.

Edit: btw he should have 4 TO's. Some horrible passes that ended in TO's cause the ball was caught out of bounds. Mikal and Cam come to mind. They were way off.

He had incredible ast/to ratio and shooting splits. I doubt you know better about the turnovers than the scorekeepers who do it for a living.

He is the main reason the Suns cut it to 1 at the end, scoring 10 on 4-4 shooting in the last 8 minutes.

Talk about bias bro. His passing was off. Everyone saw it. Even the commentators were calling him out on his horrible passing. Social media saw him hiding in the corner. You wanna talk about him showing up in the 4th. How about him showing up in the 2nd and 3rd quarter so the Suns aren't in that hole to begin with. And the reason those TO's aren't credited to him is because Cam and Mikal caught the ball and went out of bounds with it due to how bad the passes were. Anybody who knows basic basketball will tell you the TO will be given to the player who last touched the ball before it went out of bounds.

He has 18 TOs through 5 games. Didn't hit double digits in any of the previous series. Most was 9 vs Lakers.

That's a pretty pathetic excuse to say "the scorekeepers know better". The scorekeepers track stats that's it.

Maybe stop watching boxscores and pay attention to the game.

Just please for your sake, shhhh, time to take a seat. (You're wrong)

Never seen a jump ball before bud? It's the same thing except without the steal. If the ball doesn't pop out its a jump ball.

Do you think its a foul if the ball didn't pop out?

After watching the replay a couple times I did think it could have been called a jump ball since the ball didn't come out right away. Can't leave it to plays like that though. They had a 16 point lead and choked it away.

This is fair enough, if some suns fans wan't to argue jump ball, whatever, I dont agree but at least its not a totally inaccurate proposal

Definitely. I don't even want to argue that cause it's a bang-bang play. Book got stuck cause he was looking to score and by the time he reacted it was too late.

He had DA wide open under the rim since Giannis and PJ swarmed him. It would have been a tough pass but the Bucks reacted faster.

False news. Please either not make this type of jokes anymore, or double check your source before posting such things. Do not respond.

[Turk Nowitzki]

The amount of people anointing the Bucks like they won the title is a little funny. I like our situation but the idea that the Suns can't steal one in Milwaukee and force a game 7 is pretty silly. I will celebrate and wax poetic about legacies when it's actually over.

[Luke Skyowner]

Jrue is definitely not as bad offensively as he's been playing in the playoffs this year. .

I wonder what´s going on there? Shooting came back, right when he moves much better on both sides of the floor. Like he fully recovered from something after game 4, got those legs back. Or someone slapped his mindset on target again

CP3 going to the corner because he knows book ain't passing. Q3, it was all book and nobody else. Suns only chance is to get CP3 on track with the PnR and book scoring around 20-25 which means that other players are getting touches i.e DA, cam, Jae, bridges

Maybe he should demand the ball instead of just letting Book iso/hero ball. At the end of the day CP3 is the vet and starting PG. The whole reason CP3 was signed was to keep the Suns from just relying in Books hero ball and making sure the ball was moving. He did it in the 1st quarter then he ghosted.

I am paying attention and you're just being ridiculous due to your biases. I'm looking objectively. He took care of the ball very well. It's the same thing with passes to Ayton...everyone blames Ayton for fumbling not Paul but if it's someone else, it's Paul to blame. Every player is accounted for in the same way, so 1 turnover is the same ratio as any others.

Complaining about Paul passing in this game is absurd.

Got to be speculation because if not, the entire finals would have to be pushed back since Giannis played last night and obviously came into contact with everyone.

Yeah, I mean if Booker is going to go into the midrange, Paul needs to spread the floor, especially when he was hitting all his 3s. Booker's 40 pt game in game 4 included no 3s. He had 2 last night out of his 40 points.

When Booker is iso'ing they need to spread the floor.

Yup, it all feels like a jinx. Most MIL fans are conditioned to not get excited for fear of something bad is about to happen, per usual.

It really isn't though. He took care of the ball for 1 quarter and even then his passing was off. He then proceeded to disappear for 2 quarters. This is our superstar PG who makes 40 million. It's ridiculous to be complacent with an average performance like that in the grandest stage and the most important game he's ever played in.

Wrong side of history two games in a row now. They've actually shot the ball very well the last two games. I expect them to not have a very good shooting game in Milwaukee.
