I am just so happy how Giannis has rebounded from that nasty knee injury. The man is strong. In the mind and the body.

Game 3: 39 points, 14-28 FG, 3-3 FT, 5 TO
Game 4: 53 points, 19-53 FG, 12-13 FT, 2 TO

As they go, the series go. Wonder if they can replicate what they did today.

Even though Middleton was pretty good, Holiday wasn't today. They were more effective last game.

So far, as they go, the series go. If they 2 straight games like Game 3, I think it's over.

Careful there are people on here that legitimately believe the game was called correctly

Booker had 8 fouls and about three flops that resulted in FTs.

Suns finally got a another monster game from Booker and it was wasted.

True but with the way CP3 and the Suns choked in the 4th, the Bucks have all the momentum right now. I know Suns are great at home so hopefully we get another close game.

Yep. In the first half where that quote was from it was. Nice try again though

Lol so do you change your opinion?

I agree. They let him get cold over there. I hate the formula these coaches use. Let him take a few breaths on the bench to regroup, then get him back out there. He wasn’t the same coming back in.

This is going to be a tough game for Paul to look back on if the Sums can’t find two more wins.

RogerGodahell · 07-14-2021, 10:57 PM

Ayton was a monster on the boards but he only had 6 points. They need about 15 a game from him.

That it was called correctly in the first half? No. That's what I said then and it was. The second half was a joke.

Agreed, not sure why they weren’t going to the pick and roll tonight

Could’ve got him and cp3 going. Far too much standing around and dribbling

Suns fans....

Don't ever,

complain about refs again.

Zedlaw · 07-14-2021, 11:01 PM

Does Cam Johnson go 3 in a 2019 redraft?

Agreed it was a terrible missed call. However books 5th foul was bogus but let’s not bring that up

Tough screen grab there. Looks like ball. But yeah, it’s a foul. Not sure about it’s importance though. Giannis scored on the follow and Booker, what, made one shot after.

Onepocketj · 07-14-2021, 11:05 PM

Jrue with a rebound with 7 seconds left to get to 14!
(Over/under rebounds/assists was 13.5)

No At age 24 I still take take Barrett and Garland over him every day

Not sure if serious. He also got him with the other arm and the body and would have fouled out with the correct call.

His 5th was bogus in that it was the kind of thing that wasn't called consistently all night.

It was a foul by to rule book.

More of an indictment of the refs not calling it consistent than anything.

tjforce · 07-14-2021, 11:11 PM

Guys if you aren't understanding how special this Giannis block of Ayton was, then you probably don't get why the all time top 10 list is filled with guys were were all time great defenders

You didn’t capture the bear hug with the off hand. Honestly I thought he was trying to take the foul and ensure Jrue didn’t get the layup. Between thinking that is a clean play, and thinking he got fouled on his missed layup later, I’m not sure he actually understands what a foul is.

Yeah, it was money. Most blocks are coming downhill with the play in front. To turn, jump and block in one motion, so perfectly. I’m dizzy just writing about it

Not to mention... that was a bad dude he blocked in Ayton. He wasn't going soft to the rim.

It’s an interesting strategy to take an older player. Get him more developed on a rookie deal, then lock him up throughout their prime to age 30. Is Cleveland losing Garland at 27? If you were to pick the eight years you want out of a player I think it’s closer to 23-31 than 19-27.

But yeah, you don’t risk that at 3. You’re hunting stars there
