Booker is in no way a superstar in this league.
He is a great scorer but nothing more. Does not make his team better at all.

Have you even watched this series?


every minute. Been watching Paul and Booker, two guys Holiday guards, go off this series putting up better numbers than they did in the regular season. Have you?

They are great players. Holiday has made it tougher for them for sure, the goal is usually to take advantage of all the possessions in which said player is not the primary defender on you.

Bucks need to make adjustment on the 1-5 screen. Too easy for CP3 to get that mis match as Brook is sinking too low. They made an adjustment against Trae Young but Bud hates making in game adjustments so it will be interesting to see what happens

Bucks should oddly be happy to be only down 5 after that.

The Suns have been one of the best road teams in the NBA this season.

I mean, they're shooting 35% from the field and 18% from 3. They should be down double digits tbh.

consistency is the difference between a superstar, allstar, fringe allstar ,etc......you can count on superstars to show up pretty much every night....Middleton and Jrue aren't that.


I think this is why the Bucks offense looks so bad so often. Budenholzer let's Middleton and Holiday create so much of their own offense off of the dribble like superstars do. Holiday and Middleton can obviously do that at times, but they aren't on that level where they should be doing it on a nightly basis.

Seriously Budholzer cant be this bad can he?

The worst thing that could happen is Bucks lose the finals and also not getting Carlisle

It was a lob! Not a shot.
Also robbed giannis of a dunk.

The goaltending rule does not differentiate between whether it was a lob or a shot as far as I can remember, it's just that you can't touch the ball when it is above the cylinder (as long as it isn't thrown from out of bounds).


I get its the rules. But physically that was a pass that had zero chance of going into the basket as it was traveling horizontally a foot higher than the basket. Just happened to pass over it. Imo the refs should use common sense and not call it. Lopez maybe shouldve caught it a lil later tho haha.

They made an adjustment after game 2 of this series too, but seem to have abandoned it in favor of letting Cp abuse Lopez. Dont understand it.

Yup, if their opponent wasn't only shooting 43/33, they could be down a lot more

Suns the only ones on elimination(aka urgency), they know the trophy is in the house tonight.

Not at all. Bucks have got plenty of calls for Gianni's, including an uncalled goaltend and several missed calls for Ayton. I would say Suns up by 10-15 with neutral officiating.
