NBA Finals: Bucks vs. Suns Discussion Thread
- Thread starter VirginiaCavs
- Start date
What was different in Game 3?
The Suns were awful from behind the line...which was due...
The Bucks were good from behind the line for the 2nd time in 3 games...
Jrue had his best offensive game in a minute.
Middleton was 'solid' enough.
Janice was phenomenal.
Bridges might be on a milk carton right now.
So, what do we know?
The Suns have played 5 games vs Giannis this year and have not stopped him. We'll excuse the stat line from game #1 as that was his return game.
That should be their focus right now. And when I say that, I mean they should let him do his thing to a degree and concentrate on not letting the other guys get comfortable. We saw in Game 2 he can be as brilliant as can be but without consistent help they do not have enough as long as Phoenix is playing a capable game on offense.
On offense, Booker has had several of these semi-clunkers in the playoffs along with his many brilliant games. You would think he will bounce back next time out. They should also shoot better as a team...
These first 3 games have had a similar flow... thee home team 2Q really decides how the rest of the game goes...
3Q has been high scoring each game...
You can catch an inflated total and take under in each game live and be 2-1 (frankly 3-0 if not for that weird game 2 ending).
I've taken 2h over in games 1 and 3 and come back with some under for a bit successfully (along with the live under loss in game 2).
I think, and hope we get our first competitive game on Wednesday night. Taking the points might just be the play...
Looking forward to it...

Interesting debate. Let’s say Suns end up winning in 5, 6, or 7 but Giannis continues to put up 40 and 15 and guys are good on phx but no one is dominant, would you give Giannis finals mvp?
This was in my head last night a bit when looking at the numbers...

The biggest argument against is precedent but it’s happened before although Lebron prob deserved it in 2015 I think it was and didn’t get it
Yeah gotta go way back to Jerry West

Something doesn’t sit right w me they took this long to announce it. I mean ok you want teams to prepare in case he plays maybe but once you’re out why wait?

I know this is a lame take, but why am I smelling a Bucks su win but Suns ATS cover tonight?

Teams that lost by 20+ in the Finals have gone 9-2 ATS in the next game (since 2003).
6-5 SU...

Like the Suns laying tonight and love the ML. Crowds in this series have been maniacal / driving the home team and I think that continues this evening. I like Phoenix to hold serve tonight and then in 7. Paul could be worn down or he could bounce back. I think the latter happens.

Unless silver gets involved and wants one more game for ratings this is over Tuesday night

OK, just made a post about the refs. I should have looked here first. Regardless, is the general concensus brothers and foster helps the Suns? I always felt their dispatch in big games meant the leauge wants a specific team to win. Yet their home ATS recorded are very strong. Please advise... Are the refs a good omen for suns or the bucks?

I would think the leauge wants game 7, right?

Better for the league to let things wind up tonight.
COVID outbreaks and protecting next season the priority, believe they feel that way.
Huh?

Bump. Set. Shuma!
This is perfuct
Either Anthony Fauci hacked Emkee’s account or someone is really digging deep for an angle to play the Bucks.
