Series Thread: 2021 NBA Finals: Milwaukee Bucks vs. Phoenix Suns

[Shaggy]

The Suns lost because the Bucks had 20 second chance points to their 2. That's just bad.

Suns ever plan on slowing down Giannis or not really?

There's nothing they can do when Giannis plays like this. He's basically unstoppable. It's why people rightly get on him and the Bucks for playing so stupid at times throughout the playoffs, settling for 3s and being so timid. When he's focused and locked in on the basket, he's dominant. Untouchable. Yet for some reason, he gets in his own head and plays like a completely different player. There's been times these playoffs where he's been so bad he should have given his MVPs back. Then there's a game like tonight where you like you need to give him 2 more MVPs.

True but hes never consistent with being dominant. Not sure if its him mentally or if the team goes a different direction and doesnt allow him to be him.

THe Sun's coach and stfu up about not enough penalties called and lacking free throws

He must have forgotten about how his team had a much bigger advantage in game one

Bucks 9 of 16

Suns 25 of 26

Not about who you can put on him. It is more about a team effort. Build that wall is a start. Make the others beat you

So then...I guess you answered your own question when you also asked.... "or not really".

Yep that....plus Booker was awful tonight.
It happens.

Glad I took the Bucks and under.

 

[shopson67]

Because half the posters and the board mod are Lakers fans?

....because the Lakers are loved the world over

 

[shopson67]

Well I’m not giving up, there is always hope for improvement

yep, we're aiming for 3/4...

Glad I took the Bucks and under.

Well the under has hit 1 out of 3 games and it easily could have gone over last night.

I almost always take the under (I'd say 80-85% of the time). I read an article a while ago that some bettors just bet the under and don't bet on the winner.....and do well.

You can do that on Lakers games but by and large you have to track the line movements and go from there. I wish it were that simple lol.

Anyone else see the Bucks fans in the Deer District last night chanting Bucks in six?

Oh shit, why did I ask that? Dammit my bad. Some in the NBA threads think I never watch the games. I only look at the box score.

Saw the highlights, didya?

Yep this morning. I DVR'd sportcenter last night.

If the Bucks win it all, I take it we won’t hear anymore about Giannis can’t win a championship as the best player on a team.

Also no more of Anthony Davis being better because he won a championship with LeBron
