Bucks @ Suns Saturday Finals game thread 7-17-2021 Game - Game 5

[FB94]

Paul was kinda the reason we had a shot the final few minutes

Maybe, but he and Ayton were a big reason for our collapse in the second

 

[Finito]

If Paul opts out and wants the monster extension you just flat out can’t give it to him. We got to pay Ayton and I can’t give Paul that kind of money after this finals performance. He has a long history of coming up short when it matters most and he’s living up to it

 

[Proteus]

Depressing.

 

[Proximo]

Both teams with 87 shot attempts for the game. Bucks made 50, Suns made 48… wow!

well if suns get same number of shots they need to win. Most nights we will get several less shots than the bucks.

 

[95pro]

It was that close. One timely timeout in the second and the end of the game would have made the difference

 

[Covert Rain]

Yes he disappeared in spots tonight and looked lost. Second and third quarter Ayton and Paul were ghosts

Oh b.s. there isn’t a player On either side that didn’t disappear for spells. The offense was not the problem. That output has been good enough all playoffs long.

 

[TJ]

even if they are better, which honestly I am skeptical of because of the declining Chris Paul, the Lakers and nets will very likely still be superior.

doubtful this group ever gets this good of a chance again.

their best shot by far is somehow winning the next two games.

Mavs, Griz, Pels, and Warriors will all improve from this season. Phoenix is a playoff contender, but it’s far fetched to
Think this team will make it back to the Finals in short order

 

[GatorAZ]

It hit me in the 2nd qtr that the Bucks have zero fear of the Suns. Despite going down 0-2 they’re about to back door sweep us.

 

[DVontel]

Agree on most except the end. They got super lucky with Anthony Davis and Kawhi going down. That won't happen again. Other teams will retool. Suns probably won't sniff the Finals again for a long, long, time.

Yea, the fact that the Suns had the most beneficial playoff run & probably still won’t get a playoff ring from it is disheartening.

 

[Finito]

Kawhi has had season ending injuries, knocking him out of the playoffs in 3 of the last 5 years.

Davis is always hurt.

thinking those guys will ever be the picture of health is stupid based on their history. Especially because Kawhi tore his ACL in JUNE. He ain’t gonna be even close to being Kawhi until season after next.

yeah actually I would put money on Kawhi being out especially with his ACL now

lebron will just be older and AD is always hurt like you said

Do the Nets make it through healthy Kyrie, KD and Harden? I’d say no given there history now.

going to be an interesting offseason

 

[Luciano]

I’m going to blame it on this guy

[JerkFace]

agreed. People turning on this team after the season we’ve enjoyed is beyond stupid.

The new “fans” that winning has brought to these game threads have been less than impressive.

what a lame ***

 

[Lorenzo]

this was a hell of a game and a valiant come back by the suns. that 3 that booker hit late was a hell of a shot. I thought the spacing was poor on that last play that basically allowed Holliday to walk up from behind. I don't know that booker even had an outlet other than maybe CP3... if he could even see him. no time for heads down, this is the finals. suns have to come back with a superior effort in game 6. if they do that they can win.

 

[FB94]

Oh b.s. there isn’t a player On either side that didn’t disappear for spells. The offense was not the problem. That output has been good enough all playoffs long.

Then we disagree. Middle of the game he was lazy getting back and a non factor for most part.

 

[Finito]

Plus all the picks they want

 

[Finito]

Then we disagree. Middle of the game he was lazy getting back and a non factor for most part.

he only got 12 shots they flat out ignore him.

 

[Chaplin]

Anyone complaining about Bridges at half time of this game is insane.

Bridges was great on defense in the first quarter. Then Monty sat him too long in the 2nd.

 

[Proximo]

Suns absolutely could win next 2 games if cp3 reverted to his play from game 1. But after tonight it is not reasonable to expect that to happen.

 

[95pro]

When book got smothered someone could have called a timeout

 

[95pro]

Bridges was great on defense in the first quarter. Then Monty sat him too long in the 2nd.

Suns were tearing it up. Then Monty sits Bridges and book for so long.
And doesn’t stop the bleeding with a timeout

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

they can easily win up there. Enough of the off-season plan nonsense.

moral victories mean absolutely nothing in a 7 game series.

Also let lead get stretched a couple possessions too long in 4th as well. He’s a possession or two behind with his timeouts during every Milwaukee run.

no they don't, but it's a 7 game series as you said. they are not eliminated.
