Outside Paul, it seemed like they wanted to, but it was too crowded and they gave up.

I was hoping both teams would go out of their way to approach each other but Giannis went straight to hug his family which you can't fault him for. CP3 was really the only one that lacked sportsmanship since he left immediately.

I heard CP3 flopped going to the shower

And this shuts up all the awful media takes about giannis. Even when he was averaging 30/12 he was still getting hate about being unimpressive, crazy.

A performance for the ages.

They completely skipped over the Chris Paul State Farm commercial. :lol:

i feel for CP3 though...even though people might not like him you got to feel for a person trying to win a chip on the back end of his career....making the finals again isn't promised

I'm glad Giannis got rewarded for staying with his team. It's always fun to see homegrown teams win a title, as compared to these super-teams created by conniving sports agents and superstar butt buddies.

That Jrue Holiday trade turned out to be one hell of a deal for them. Paid off in its first year.

all you need is a top 3-5 superstar on your team....seems easy enough

bucks don't win this championship without Holiday, just like the Lakers weren't going to win without AD.

Stop with this nonsense. He was putting up 30-4-4 prior to this game and guess what? He is only 24 and this was his first playoffs ever. He is not even close to his prime yet and he has shown that he can be a #1 option.

Going to be 23 and no where near his prime. Give him time

I'm just glad Chris Paul doesn't get to win a championship, it's so difficult not to dislike that guy

Speaking of Paul, he must have the worst BO because the Bucks left him open most of the night, have you ever seen a team in the finals do such a poor job of guarding a switch? Paul had open shots from the free throw line all night.

I know that no one cares about game analysis now that the series is over and Giannis put up huge numbers, but he really needs to stop shooting 3's, or anything outside of 12 ft.

During the regular season, go for it, but in the finals, all those 3's he was taking for no reason would have frustrated me if I were a Bucks fan. Obviously it doesn't matter now and he did a LOT of things to make up for his wasted possessions but I hope he cuts that out of his game and focuses on what works. I couldn't believe Ayton bit on one of his pump fakes on a three and left his feet :lol:

Holiday was so careless with the ball, he looked like he was playing a preseason game, I understand playing loose but that was overboard. The Bucks as a team had so many unforced turnovers in this game, the Giannis travel bringing the ball up, the Middleton pass to Holiday that went out of bounds and a few others I can't think of right now

The Suns should still be proud of getting as far as they did, but blowing that 2-0 lead has to hurt.

Dumb question alert.

Rachel Nichols postgame to CP3:

RN: "What does it feel like (to lose)?"
CP: "It feels like we just lost. You know what I mean?"

:lol:

Maybe we should recognize Holiday's ability as a shutdown defender.

Jrue also had him this game. It was the game plan.

How's it going down?
