this is even better than the moment adam silver led the xmen to fight 10,000 sentinels in order to stop master mold.

 

[old pig]

to see this just feels corny after seeing giannis win it in the fashion he did

I’m keep it a buck (no pun)…but as much as I’ll enjoy a brooklyn chip…it won’t feel as organic, hard-fought and “deserved” as this feels for giannis, the bucks and their fans…the last few chips in a row all have that hollow feel compared to this one…I gotta look back and see but we probably haven’t seen as “meaningful” a chip as this since either the mavs or spurs…gotta look back and see

After Game 3:

Phoenix is fine. Booker had a horrific game. If he just played ok it would have been a much closer game.

I think it's more to the contrary, to be honest.

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. The longer this series goes on, the more Giannis will continue to find a groove, and I don't know if any player on the opposing side will be able to match that.

As we all know, it's a make-or-miss league, and Phoenix are still leading 2-1, so they have the advantage simply off the strength of that, but almost all the indicators point towards them being in a dangerous spot. It's a classic revenge tale where the protagonist is down and wounded, but you just know somehow, someway, he'll overcome all that and triumph at the end: that's the position I feel the Bucks are in right now.

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.

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.

The Suns have the better coach, they have the best floor general in basketball, they have Booker, and a supporting cast that is deep and can all hurt you. The Nets had KD and guys that wilted next to him. The Suns have had consistent contributions all postseason from damn near everyone who's got playing time.

Also, in the clutch I'm picking PHX, because Giannis weakness is FT shooting. When the game gets tight, Milwaukee will be depending on Middleton and Jrue to make shots from 3, from mid-range, and from the line. Giannis will do work no doubt, but he's not going to be just dunking late in a tight game... he's going to be forced to hit critical FTs, and if he doesn't hit them at a high enough clip, the pressure will fall on his sidekicks to beat PHX. Where as on the flip side, PHX doesn't have that issue at all.

Sooner or later we'll all see who the prophet is.

What he do now

 

[The God Poster]

Lol negro you want a cookie

Bucks showed out & I didn’t think they could come back. I was wrong…never been perfect

At least I admit it & don’t hide

@Gil Scott-Heroin

Still waiting on that Mudiay & Parker prophecy

 

[Green Ranger]

Booker can't make his own shot like Kobe

Doesn’t have the strength or footwork of Kobe/MJ and get bullied and strong arm which you never saw with Kobe or MJ

Stephen Jackson is a clown

nikka taking credit for the Bucks coming back

If nothing else his clownery is entertaining

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

I’m really happy for the Bucks.

They drafted that skinny ass, funny talking, foreign nikka and he developed into a legend. It’s a great story

Hopefully more teams will invest in their scouting departments and stop discarding talent while chasing superstars

Dude so damn humble

Pretty sure this is the greatest championship clinching game by a player that I’ve ever seen…
