Even if the Bucks lose they're still winners

She looks better now. The first time I knew anything about the Bucks.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;

Yeah i saw this too,

Read on Twitter


and i feel bad abotu the price Milwaukkee will pay for this game. 65k, no masks, no distancing. Not to open a new discussion about Covid but the football euro cup - all games outdoors - had a few similar setups and crazy outbreaks linked directly to the games. FIFA was fined for fans not forced to wear masks - i think 35.000 euros.

Live stream of the Deer District.

Someone in Milwaukee needs to get down there and throw up a RealGM sign.

Turnovers are probably the most important stat.

You look at the road games and Milwaukee was getting up more attempts.

One part of this is offensive rebounding, which will be tough for Phoenix to curb with Crowder trying to box out Giannis, one of the bench wings boxing Portis, & Book/CP boxing Tucker.

The other part of this is Phoenix turnovers.

G3 2nd quarter Bucks got up 10 more attempts, 5 o boards + 5 Suns turnovers :lol: 10 points off the turnovers, 4 off the offensive glass. They won the quarter by 18.

G4 Milwaukee wins by 6, got up 20 more shots :lol: Suns with 5 turnovers in the 4th alone, several from CP, Milwaukee gets an easy 9 points.

We looked at the film and Jrue is great but most those were either unforced errors, or suboptimal decisions that they paid for - so basically guys getting rattled on the road :lol:

That Jrue-Book rip to Giannis alley in the 4th of this last game was a highlight (Suboptimal decision again - Monty shoulda called TO & set up 2 for 1) but the Suns were careful with the ball overall for the game.

They’re already gonna beat on the offensive glass, so they Gotta maintain composure on the road….. which they didn’t do in G3-4. Well see what happens.

This is the same way I'm thinking. I like the Bucks though, so I'm hoping they can pull it off tonight.

They typically don't have anything fun or noteworthy to say but it's even worse that they hold it outside where you can't hear anything.

one thing is certain it really doesn't matter who punches first, this is going to be a tight game going down the wire, unless the suns completely lie down which i don't anticipate. Definitely going to be a lot of contact embellishment from cp and crowder. Crowder last game had a run of maybe 4 possessions in a row where he was egregiously flopping.

I’m feeling a blowout is coming. Really hope I’m wrong

Would love for a tight game down the stretch

Everybody think so, but i think some players like middelton can choke tonight because they have now the opportunity to close out the series anyway

This must be record breaking for most crowd outside an arena in an NBA finals game. If Bucks win they might as well do the parade, crowd's ready :lol:
