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

[Ozymandeas]

Chris Paul went from languishing in Oklahoma to being two wins away from a ring. Life is funny.

I hate this corny expression…so if phoenix wins game 7 at the home the series never starts?

some announcer said that shyt and folks been running with it like it’s the damn gospel…the series started and it’s 2-0 suns…bux better realize the shyt started too and will continue without them if middle son at the very least doesn’t step up to complement giannis

Especially considering that 93% of teams who start 2-0 win their series including 30 out of 34 Finals teams.

we’ve already seen it happen many times during these very playoffs

yeah it’s corny, but it’s not inaccurate

I think Suns win, but people claiming sweep are just going overboard right now

It's inaccurate cause winning the first two games gives you a MASSIVE advantage.

No one is saying that it's impossible for the Bucks to win. But it's just dumb to say "the series hasn't started yet" as if those first two Suns wins haven't set them up really well.

What would Milwaukee have to give up to get Dame… ?

 

[Primetime]

Stinky hours

I always laugh when ppl call him “underrated” whenever he has his occasional good game.

 

[Hip-Hop-Bulls]

As I've said, the bucks getting to the finals was the worst thing that could happen to them. Enjoy more happy years with bud!

Bucks getting another star ain't helping nun

they have zero occurring outside of their "big" 3 unless Pat gives em a career performance like tonight. Book and CP0 have routinely gotten 15+ pt performances from the other dudes. Not shyt you can do when mikal is putting up 27. Craig goes 2-3 before getting hurt, Cam goes 2-4 with great D. Trading Jrue and probably 2 other contributors to fit Dame in would make them even worse defensively

 

[Po pimp]

Rightfully so, he did his fair share when Giannis and Jrue weren't doing much, or weren't playing at all even.

Even if Giannis has a bad game, he’s giving you 20 and 15 with good defense. It’s telling that the Bucks have only lost just a few games when Middleton shoots above 40%. He doesn’t even need to play great, but if he just gives them SOMETHING, the Bucks usually win.

Middleton, Divincenzo, and draft picks is the best they can offer. If Middleton was 24 maybe they would think about it but I can't imagine Portland even considering that when he 29 and already peaked.

 

[Rigby.]

Seeing Jrue play like he did last game makes me wonder how Suggs will really be unless his handle picks up. Being a lead guard in the NBA without a good one can produce some atrocities like tonight....I think Jalen should have a better layup package and body control than Jrue does though

 

[Po pimp]

Because his game allows him to attack more of the court with much more ease than Giannis

Giannis even said when the man retire it’s going to be a sad day for him this the same Giannis who had other players better than Middleton pushed out.

Which better players?

 

[Professor Emeritus]

No they won't. 82 games and then the playoffs ... no way they last all the way through.

They're gonna trade Dinwiddie for a great piece, if they resign everyone else and maybe even sign on more vets on minimum deals, they could lose two starters and still win the ring.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Interesting stat for the ppg stans

 

[TEH]

Bucks need Reggie, Hardaway Jr and Jermaine Grant.

 

[who_better_than_me]

Middleton, Divincenzo, and draft picks is the best they can offer. If Middleton was 24 maybe they would think about it but I can't imagine Portland even considering that when he 29 and already peaked.

Those draft picks wouldn’t even mean shyt unless Portland ask for picks at least 5 years out.

 

[LV Koopa]

I mean it’s still pretty early to claim a Suns sweep

the series starts when a game is stolen on the road. Let’s see how it plays out, Giannis gets more time to get to 100%

bucks role players will come out hot game 3

Problem is they'll be facing the best road team in NBA Game 3
