Phoenix Suns fans counting how much they lost by betting against the Milwaukee Bucks tonight. #FearTheDeer

Middleton has been incredible these last few games. Clutch as fuck.

Series is over, stick a fork in Phoenix.

It appears Middleton grew up and became a man in this series. Giannis became super healthy and Chris Paul looks Old and clumsy.

Now espn posts this stat at 81%...whichever is correct it's a lot

Which is in the same ballpark as the winning percentage for the team with home court going up to 2-0, for whatever that's worth.

The clumsy part is that he's playing with an injured left wrist.

Effectively inconsistent... A new term.

He comes up big about every third game on average. Consistently inconsistent?

Suns' Williams: 'Whatever it takes' to get to G7

Phoenix Suns coach Monty Williams was matter-of-fact after Saturday's 123-119 loss put his team down 3-2 in the NBA Finals: Do "whatever it takes" to force Game 7.

- Monty Williams

"We got to win one game to put them back on the plane," he said.
"That's it. And you have to have that determination that you're willing to do whatever it takes to put them back on the plane."

At this point, I don't care any more. I didn't really care that much to start, but was kinda rooting for the Suns. They don't deserve this series at this point and I'm bored of watching them blow leads. Can we just fast-forward to the Olympics and the draft instead?

Did that injured left wrist make him do things like drop the ball on a critical play?

So….

Reading between the lines here.

Does that mean you think you could outplay Jrue Holiday?

Because I think I would bet on him.

even money or would you want odds?

Either way.

Feels pretty safe betting on Jrue here.

They were down 2-1 to the Lakers.

Being down 2-1 in the first round isn't really the same as where they are now. My point was, they've haven't seen anywhere near the adversity the Bucks have in this playoffs, or as a team over the last 2-3 years for that matter. Bucks have been grinding the last few seasons earning those stripes while the Sun's have been sitting home

is that why he seems to keep tripping over his own two feet when he goes around screens?

Nba season ends tonight

I'm not going to break it down play by play, but he's obviously going to have less control dribbling or passing with his left hand.

All true, but either of the last 2 games could've gone either way and it's difficult to close out any team on the first try. That said, the Bucks are favored to win tonight and should be.
