Game Thread 2021 NBA Finals - Suns vs Bucks!

[handiman]

Probably gave him a shot of pain killers

That was the only thing I could come up with, as well. Thus the "fight doctor secrets" comment.

 

[TBpup]

Cavs owner loves the draft, he ain't giving up that pick.

But there is talk they would at least consider it to get something out of Love vs buying him out and getting back nothing.

Looks like the Suns' Dario Saric is out with a torn ACL.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

If they were true, why didn’t OKC win it all last season?

because they didn't want it last season.

Bad Dog.

Go Suns!

 

[DDolla]

Like in the first game, Suns made a run in the 2nd qtr. Got the lead and it’s over for the Bucks

 

[theprunetang]

I like the Suns, but Arizona can suck it. Go Bucks. Haha

 

[Chris Craig]

I predicted on the podcast that the Bucks would go down 0-2 then come back to win the series...so far so good

Either the best prediction, or the absolute worst prediction, at this juncture. Haha

I’m really hoping the bucks win

But if Phx wins that’s their first ever championship which is cool for the phx fans.

 

[PDXFonz]

PHX has had some decent teams in their franchises history too with the Barkley era and the Nash era. They were the biggest threat to Kobe and the Lakers for many years. I remember being at Benihana's during the playoffs one year talking to my grandpa about the game and all I remember is that Leondro Barbosa just wouldn't miss.

Same time though the Bucks have only won one and that was 6 years before us in '71 - and I'm a big fan of Giannis, I think he absolutely deserves to say that he is an NBA champion before he's retired. Kind of like Dirk, not to discredit the team mates but Giannis is the superstar caliber player.

 

[PDXFonz]

Should have been a poll attached asking who we want to see win

Whoever this "SlyPokerDog" rookie is

Been saying all along this series will probably go 7 games. Right now I'm saying lets see how game 3 comes out?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Underrated fuck-up (one of many) of the Sixers was trading this guy (a local guy! Who wanted to play for them!) for Zhaire Smith and a pick:

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Bucks win game 3 with Middleton and Holiday redeeming themselves. But Suns in six.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

What Play Would Jesus Run?

Didn't his mom also work for the Sixers or something?

 

[PDXFonz]

What Play Would Jesus Run?

Probably a solid pick and roll. I feel like Jesus would coach like Popovich...

Also Monty Williams has been through a lot; and he was with us for a while. Seems like a good man, would enjoy seeing him win a championship too.

Really im just glad its these two teams honestly.

I could see this. series goes 2-2 then the suns take game 5 and then get one in Milwaukee.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Didn't his mom also work for the Sixers or something?

 

[handiman]

Interesting that Bryan Colangelo resulted in Brett Brown making that questionable trade to Phoenix, when Colangelo himself previously represented Phoenix. Philly lost twice in that equation.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Chris Paul hasn't won a playoff game with Scott Foster as a referee in 11 consecutive tries. In Game 7 last year vs. the Rockets, Paul says referee Scott Foster made a point to tell him that he also reffed his Game 7 loss to the Spurs in 2008. Tonight, Foster is reffing Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

No one watching the game?

 

[DDolla]

Who wins the 2nd qtr wins the game

 

[Fairly-Hard]

First two games I was rooting for the Suns. Now I want the Bucks to even the series up.
Obviously I don’t really care who wins. Just always root for the comeback.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

It ain’t Scott Foster missing those shots.

 

[DDolla]

Pat Con really playing well… too bad Neil just release him

 

[Chris Craig]

Cam Johnson faking getting hurt by Giannis

Make it 0-12!
