NBA Finals: Milwaukee Bucks vs. Phoenix Suns, Part 4 | Bucks lead 3-2

[Ruzious]

Devin Booker 8-22 and 0-7 from 3 and he had some really nice looks. He's just not that guy. If that's going to be your best player going forward, you're going to struggle to get out of the 1st round let alone the 2nd.

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.

He definitely has nothing to be ashamed of. The next phase of his game should include learning how to deal with double-teams. His passing needs to improve, and he should look for his teammates more.

Happy for Jrue. He and Lauren are my favorite husband/wife athlete couple.

For the sake of the rest of our kids- they should not have more kids - because their kids will rule the world- great parents. Hate jrue game but he is a good guy

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

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.

Look at this Lakers fan. Is there anything more pathetic?

I rarely get a genuine laugh on this board, so thank you.

Could you be so kind as to let me in on what exactly is pathetic about what I wrote and what makes you think I'm a Lakers fan? Because if you knew anything about my thoughts on the Lakers, you'd realise how ridiculous you sound

If the Bucks over-compensate to guard him, they will have to either leave an opening to a roll man or help off a 3PT shooter. Part of the Bucks defensive plan was to stay with the Suns shooters as best as possible. Now, Paul is obviously a smart player, so this means that you will likely have him dancing around and finding openings in the mid-range, but you are playing the odds that his mid-range attempts will not end up being more efficient than the Suns getting more open three's or more shots at the rim. If you play defense trying to take away every single thing, you will end up not taking away anything.

Sure, I understand that and at this point it matters not, but at least try something different? He was wide open taking mid range shots and making them with no one within 5 feet of him

Respect to the suns. They made us work for this.

Feels good as a b ball fan to see a prima Donna not to win a chip looking at u bron KD curry

Respect to the Suns, great playoffs by them.

Winning a title is so much hard work...and luck. The Bucks losing by 30 to the Nets before the injuries, KD's foot 1cm on the line on that gm7 shot, Trae injured by stepping on the foot of a ref and Giannis returning from awful injury in no time, getting back from 2:0 deficit in the finals, which easily could've been 3:1. I guess it was meant to be the Bucks year to win the title. Congrats!

[Bologna Smasher]

I wonder what their plan is with Portis. They can only offer him a little under $5M or the taxpayer exception in free agency. They could dump Lopez into someone's cap space to open up the full mid-level exception, but that would just create another issue to deal with.

Can you point me to something you've posted that is worth reading?

Giannis postgame:

"I made my free throws tonight and I'm a freaking champion. I'm kidding, but I'm not."

Boss man!

[AussieBuck]

Props to the Suns, really impressive, young team. Fans were great too. Good luck going forward.

[CraftylikeaFox]

it's so dope to me to see a small market win.....the cherry on top is that Giannis stayed with the team that drafted him and committed to trying to win it where he was....Built a more soild team around him, by the way with Brook Lopez being the only lottery pick iirc....Now there is less pressure on him from now on

These rings are so satisfying to watch as a casual fan. I will take a ring like this over the Nets or Lakers every day of the week. There's so much more pleasure in watching a well built authentic team than one made overnight.

[Scoundreldays]

Congrats Buck fans! So happy for Giannis after the last 2 playoff meltdowns. Guy deserves it.
