Will The Deer Fear The Eclipse? - Official Bucks vs. Suns 2021 NBA Finals Thread

[Slim]

Bucks whooped our ass last night hats off to them. I said Suns in 6 and I still think that.

So far it's been a battle of the big 3's: CP3, Book, and Ayton vs Giannis, Khris, and Jrue.

Giannis continues to eat but Jrue and Khris finally both showed up last night meanwhile Book went ghost and Ayton got into foul trouble.

Milwaukee has to get out to big leads and hold them to win the series. They are not going to out execute or beat this PHX team in close games. If the game is close down the stretch, Booker and Paul's impact is greater than Giannis' because no matter how much of a groove he's in before the 4th, as long as he's shaky from the FT line things will be harder to close than they should be.

Why do you say this like the Bucks didn't just beat a Nets team with Durant and Harden, where a number of the games were close, which Milwaukee won? Are you forgetting Game 7 where they had to come from behind in the final minutes to take the game to overtime where they had to "out execute" the Nets? Are you forgetting what Middleton and Jrue did down the stretch of that game? If they can beat Durant and Harden in close games why aren't they capable of doing it against Devin and CP3?

And I don't see why you're looking at this from an equation of Devin + CP3 vs. Giannis, when really it's Devin + CP3 vs. Giannis + Middleton + Jrue.

Cam Johnson has stepped up big in the playoffs. Good pick by James Jones even though it wasn't popular at the time. It gives hope for the Jalen Smith pick. With the short offseason and Jalen catching covid, he just wasn't ready to get rotation minutes for a playoff team.

If Jalen Smith develops into the player he was drafted to be, the Suns won't desperately need a backup big like they do now.

I agree, I'm rooting for Giannis. He's silencing his haters

But the Point God is finally achieving his destiny

You goofy ass mf, you've been one of the main ones rooting against Giannis and the Bucks all postseason. Are you admitting he and his team are silencing you, or are you just hedging your bets to cover up all the bullshyt you said about him and his team?

You ain't slick, you spineless Casual.

They beat KD and hobbled Harden, disingenuous post

As a team Nets were far more undisciplined than Phoenix. Not too mention more iso dominant.

Phoenix rarely makes bad mistakes & Milwaukee has been known to loose brain cells in critical moments.

Also you’re mentioning Jrue & Khris. The team as a whole has yet to really explode with Giannis on the floor

Which is what I alluded to in my previous post.

"I feel like Phoenix has played above their talent level, which speaks to the chemistry and roster balance they have, and Milwaukee has been slowly trying to figure out how to counter that, where Jrue and Middleton have struggled for extensive periods, despite getting to their spots whenever they want."

This Bucks squad has yet to shift gears, which puts the Suns in a difficult spot, because they've been performing well, and for the most part, their surrounding players have managed to hit timely shots. We've seen this from Milwaukee in the previous two series' where it's taken them a while to work into their matchups. I don't see this series being any different; the more it goes on, the more Khris and Jrue will come into the frame, which doesn't bode well for Phoenix.

The best chance the Suns have at winning this is killing the Bucks before they work out how to switch the light on.

Are you asking me or begging me?

I'm telling you.

I have no time with your revisionism acting like you weren't shouting from the mountain tops that Giannis/Bucks couldn't beat the experience of KD and the Nets in a Game 7.
