Game Thread 2021 NBA Finals - Suns vs Bucks!

[Tince]

Bobby Portis and PJ Tucker are FAs this summer.

Portis is a winner. Sign him up.

I think the key to winning in a market like Portland is finding undervalued talent and getting them at a decent price. So many options from there.

Paying guys like Portis/Tucker a ton of money now would not help us in my opinion. Sadly, we might be in that position with Norm as well.

If the Blazers were in the finals there would be that many people too

They will resign with Milwaukee

That will be a big tax bill unless they give a massive discount. I have a feeling the Knicks will sign him.

 

[Tince]

But also they had a coach who was constantly adapting. Playing new guys each time because you prepared them all season.

Stotts did no such thing. Not at all. He had his rotation fixed no matter the outcome.

The amount of Bud haters in Milwaukee were very very close to the amount of Stotts haters here. They were saying the same things too.

Bud just has more talent.

Man, Monty Williams has more class in his big toe than I do in my entire body. I could never do this.

The size thing is in your guy's head. It is all about talent and skill Again Cp3 was the smallest guy on the court and as always played well. Holiday plays great D but shot poorly in 4 of the 6 games tonight. I will take Ayton over Lopez any day. Yes, Tucker is thick but very short for his position.
Middleton at 6'7" has the same wingspan as NP.

So basically we are talking about one guy that absolutely dominated because of his size and talent.
Bottom line they were more experienced and talented.

They will resign with Milwaukee

They only have non-bird rights on Portis so unless they use the taxpayer MLE on him which is the same thing we can offer, then the can only offer him 4.5M. The question really is what our team looks like. If our roster allows us to offer him a starting role when Milwaukee can't... he might come here.

 

[LayneStaley]

We shoulda kept Monty.

 

[wizenheimer]

Only 3rd time in NBA history that a team up 2-0 has choked an NBA finals away in 6 games.

1977 Philly team was one...guess who beat them

 

[tykendo]

Congratulations Milwaukee. Way to show America, you don't have to be a big market. What a spectacular crowd. NO MORE SUPER TEAMS

 

[Pinwheel1]

Monty choked. The fans would have run him out of town by Midnight.
Seriously though I like him but he made some head-scratching decisions. I would still take him though.

Great Picture of Mr. Allen and Dame, Tweak

53-37 advantage on the boards. That’s size.

So if the Blazers makes the Finals… where is Portland’s Deer District to put all that 65k fans?

 

[tykendo]

Rose Quarter , Multiple Screens between Moda, Restaurant, and Memorial Coliseum.

 

[tykendo]

Other than the Parking structures, surface lots could be used as well. Take Max.

Waterfront Park

Downtown around the Federal courthouse.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Now Dame forgot about this principal

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Now this is some quality trolling!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Now Dame forgot about this principal

WTF are you talking about?

 

[Pinwheel1]

53-37 advantage on the boards. That’s size.

Not always. You put two 3 pt shooting teams on the court and I guarantee that the quick explosive guards and wings get all the long rebounds.
Hell Holiday had more rebounds tonight than Middleton Porter and Lopez. Some guys have a knack for the ball. RF Westbrook is another good example

 

[SheedSoNasty]

I’m guessing the Bucks aren’t trading us Middleton for CJ any time soon.

 

[Pinwheel1]

That is what I was hoping for with a win tonight by the Bucks. Get those guys in Tokyo to help Dame.

CP3 to LA confirmed by Lebron James

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man Dame use to think like this

I'm sure all the Laker fanboys have convinced themselves that an AD for Giannis trade is imminent.
