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

[AussieCeltic]

I have no dog in this fight but its impossible not to root for Giannis at this point.

Such an amazing story and good guy. Feels like he deserves it.

You sure have turned your opinion around fast.

You were calling the Bucks frauds after game 1.

I admitted I was wrong about the Bucks after Game 4.

Also youre confusing my analysis of the Bucks with my opinion of Giannis. I was always rooting for Giannis. Go read the Bucks board immediately after they won the Nets series.

This you?

I said the Bucks were paper tigers all year. Even after they beat us twice.

I said Nets in 5.

Then after the Harden injury I got scared and thought we might lose. Silly me.

I picked this team to win the chip before we even got Harden. Hes a luxury.

KD and Kyrie are enough to win a Championship. The humiliated the Bucks tonight.

I don't know why we acted like this team was good. Giannis always chokes in the playoffs.

Middleton and Holiday are simply not good enough to be 2nd option on a Championship team.

And their bench is horrible. Bobby Portis is getting legitimate playoff minutes lol.

I have even less fear of the Hawjs/Sixers. Hoping we can get Harden back soon and cruise to the Chip.

I overrated the Bucks cause all the talking heads on TV were hyping them up. They're the same team as last year.

Giannis is not good enough to be the #1 guy. He needs a star guard alongside him.

Holiday and Middleton are not and have never been good enough to be the 2nd option on a Championship team.

Also the Bucks bench is **** terrible lol. Bobby Portis is really getting minutes in a playoff game.

If your "Superstar" is afraid of a countdown clock then good luck winning this series.

Giannis is the new Zaza Pachulia. Congrats.

I take back what I said about rooting for the Bucks if they get past the Nets. Didn't watch the replay.

Harden has had bad games in big moments. He still always puts up elite stats in the playoffs against the best teams in the league.

Giannis has never done that. He just has meltdowns in entire series and doesn't even make it close.

Monty played his last cards on defense in game 4, he got nothing left to show, time for a 4-0 sweep

[Hello Brooklyn]

This you?

Honestly going through all my quotes in your free time to try to score some points is pretty pathetic.

I'm glad you had that much time to spend on me

With that being said, yes I was being honest about Giannis. He did choke in the playoffs last year. That doesn't mean I wasn't rooting for him or didn't like him. Is it really that hard for you to understand?

For example, I really like Paul George. But I know last year he choked in the playoffs.

Does pointing that out make me change my view? No.

Giannis is incredible story. I was always rooting for him. That doesn't mean I can't criticize him or point out his flaws.

I did get annoyed for a little bit after the Kyrie injury. But quickly changed my tune.

Now please stop trying to derail the thread with this nonsense. Talk about the Finals. I'm allowed to say I like Giannis. Idk why you care so much honestly.

Because of your xenophobic comments about myself and other posters from Australia. Plus your consistent extremely poor takes thread after thread. You literally told me to go and check your posts so I did which took only a few minutes and showed your true colours and proved my point!

Look as a nets fan I know you are new to basketball and because you just started watching this year we can cut you some slack. Word of advice though, dont buy any jerseys because you just have to sell them in a year or two when you stop watching the nets and hope on some new bandwagon.

Hello Brooklyn jumping on the bandwagon is the most hilarious thing.

THE FIX IS IN

Another game day with 75% posts about officiating incoming

[Pachinko_]

The offense has not been an issue for the Suns. They couldn't buy a single stop in the 2nd and 3rd last game in part to the ridiculous shooting night from the Bucks. It wasn't until the end of the 4th quarter where they started playing really aggressive D to slow the Bucks down a bit. They need to up their defensive intensity and maybe start pressuring the ball handler in the back court like Jrue always does.

Chris Paul also needs to take control of the team. Team goes as far as CP3 takes them

Ιt wasn't just the ridiculous shooting from Khris/Jrue, they were also actively targeting CP because he was basically non-existent for stretches on defense, people were blowing past him as if he wasnt there. CP kinda found his legs again in the 4th, but he's clearly not right, or maybe he's simply managing himself to have something left in the tank down the stretch.

[Pachinko_]

I'm pretty sure if Cam Johnson was on the Bucks he'd have 10+ shots a night, dude is deadly. Not sure why the Suns have forgotten about him.

Are you insane?

When did I ever make xenophobic comments about Australians"?

You are derailing the thread with random garbage. Take it elsewhere. Talk about the Finals or shut up.

What an idiotic thing to say.

I've been on this forum since 2012. That alone is proof that I've been a Nets fan for a long time. And before that I was an NJ Nets fan.

How dare you accuse me of being bandwagon. I literally used to go watch the Nets when we won 12 games in 2009 at Continental Airlines Arena in the freezing cold.

Why don't you focus on your own team in the Finals rather than derailing the thread with personal attacks?

Read forum rules if you need guidance. Thanks.

I need to know, Nets fans seem to hate the Buck right now, do you hate Chris Paul more?

No I just like Giannis.

Theyre gonna beat you next year too when Donte is healthy. Giannis has finally figured out hes not a point guard. If Ayton cant do anything to stop Giannis from **** all over the court. Blake Griffin? Deandre Jordan?

[KIRAG]

Giannis suddenly turned into Jokic (not the shooting part) the last game, that's why they won. Giannis of past years would just force his way inside the paint.

[K3nny Pow3rs]

In Game 5, Phoenix had their best offensive game of the playoffs, 55%fg, 68%treys, 8 turnovers, so they probably shouldn't change anything.....and even their defense was good, but Milwaukee made contested shots. Phoenix should win G6 if they duplicate G5....

Which most likely wont happen on the road in the Suns first closeout game this season.

Or Milwaukee will be too nervous to win a championship, we'll see

There's really no reason he can't dish when they're walling him off.

[AussieBuck]

Phoenix have shown massive nuts all through the playoffs, doubt they are going to roll over now.
