The timely O boards have been big for PHO also.

A lot of 50/50 ball PHO nust hustled harder for.

Middleton has been really really bad.

Add in the lack of turnovers you get by having CP3 there's just so much efficiency with the PHO offense

yiguiri2002 · 07-08-2021, 10:27 PM

The Bucks can win the next 4 games if Holiday and Middleton start playing like borderline All-Stars.

But I don't think they'll do that so it's probably Suns in 5.

cityandcolour · 07-08-2021, 10:29 PM

12/37 from Khris/Jrue. 32% oooooof.

Siberian13 · 07-08-2021, 10:30 PM

Suns did their job and held home court. Now can the Bucks do the same?

Siberian13 · 07-08-2021, 10:33 PM

Suns in 4 chant is great. That guy is a legend

Vdm2018 · 07-08-2021, 10:33 PM

Great win! Love it! Suns in 4.

3 pts > 2 pts > Giannis FT

JohnnyHatesJazz · 07-08-2021, 10:38 PM

They'll win a game in the series but that's it. Suns in 5.

This Buck team giving me 2007 Cavs vibes.

Giannis had what could have been an all time great Finals game.

42 pts on 15-22 shooting
12 reb
4 assists
3 Block
1 Steal

Lets put this in perspective… Giannis took only 1 more shot than Jrue, but scored 25 more points.

coltsnsox07 · 07-08-2021, 10:46 PM

Suns shot 50% from 3, 20/40 & shot
shot 49% from 2, 43/88.

The Bucks were also a +3 with Giannis on the court.

So a -13 in 8 mins when he was off the court yikes.

I think we've seen enough good things from MIL to think they can win the next 2.

How do you keep the team afloat with him.off is the challenge.

Booker played nearly the entire game.

This Bucks team is miles ahead of what the 2007 Cavs were.

IDK.. they are in the same exact spot as the Cavs were 2 games into the Finals.

coltsnsox07 · 07-08-2021, 10:48 PM

Phoenix is losing a guy per game to injuries but that Milwaukee voodoo is missing the main guys, unlike vs Brooklyn and Atl.

Ready for this one:

Giannis: 42 Pts on 22 shots
Rest of team: 66 Pts on 71 shots.

Yikes.

coltsnsox07 · 07-08-2021, 10:50 PM

Now 2 days off before next game, should help everyone rest up.

You might be one of those guys on these forums that speak in absolutes and then not return if it goes the other way :P

For what its worth, I'm pulling for the bucks but not at all confident they'll make this a series at the moment, but I won't rule it out because that's silly.

meanjean9 · 07-08-2021, 11:00 PM

The stones on Giannis are just incredible, 42 and 12 after what looked like a career altering injury 9 days ago. If either of his Olympian teammates show up this is a legacy defining statement game on the largest stage for GA. Phoenix could not shoot any better and he still kept Milwaukee in the game almost single handedly. Can’t be Bucks in 6 if you don’t lose 2 amirite?!?

I won't say the Bucks are out of it (they were down 0-2 to the Nets and all) but the margin for error is not miniscule.

Still had no answer for Booker or CP3... Kept Ayton in check today, but Bridges killed them.

2 games of Suns supporting cast stepping up to 0 for the Bucks.

PGS · 07-08-2021, 11:08 PM

Lol at all of the “they were down 0-2 to Brooklyn”. If Irving doesn’t go out that series isn’t close.

I agree, the Harden loss hurt but no Kyrie was a killer. We're a Durant big toe away from not talking having the Bucks in the playoffs anymore anyhow.
Good thing for Giannis that his teammates shoot much better at home.

And who knows..

Maybe CP3 goes down. Or Booker.

Hell, looks like Suns have already lost 2 guys in 2 games.

It's happened before.
