Suns @ Bucks Wednesday Finals game thread 7-14-2021 - Game 4

[Chaplin]

I expect we will start the half going to Ayton.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Holiday has absolutely beaten down CP3. His size and strength, the way he’s bodying up Paul the second he reaches halfcourt… Paul is shot.

 

[dscher]

Paul wasting half our shot clock at mid-court is aggravating!

I've stopped yelling at my TV about it because it does nothing about 90 percent of the time...

 

[Covert Rain]

Suns are playing spotty defense. Giannis will show up and if the Suns continue to play the same they are in trouble. CP3 needs to get it going.

Also, Paul is wasting too much of the shot clock. So frustrating to watch. Again, watch him dribble. He is still isn’t handling th ball normal.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chris Paul only has 2 points, 4 assists and 2 turnovers in 1st half. This can't continue if Suns are to win.

 

[Finito]

Chris Paul I’m looking at you if we lose

he’s been horrible 2 points 4 assist 2 turnovers and flat out cannot shake his defender

 

[82CardsGrad]

Paul wasting half our shot clock at mid-court is aggravating!

Holiday is smothering him… and it’s working perfectly. Paul is shot.

 

[sdscard4]

I'm starting to hate the Bucks

Must be off the vegan diet.

 

[TJ]

Miracle we have no one with more than 2 PFs. Shame that Giannis has zero when he should have 600

 

[Finito]

Ayton has as many assist as Paul

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Would be nice if Booker and Paul could play well at the same time.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Play like ish. Tied at half. I'll take it!?

The Bucks are saying the same thing

 

[Cheesebeef]

Gotta come out HARD at the beginning of the quarter the way we did to start the game. Make that doubt creep into them!

 

[sdscard4]

Paul has will himself like he did against LA

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Booker started 3-7. Went 5-8 the rest of the way

Suns 6 FTs to 13 by the Bucks.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I expect we will start the half going to Ayton.

we shouldn’t. The force feed Ayton offense doesn’t work. Unless we’re getting him lobs. Putting him on the post just isn’t a successful offensive attack yet. Hopefully next year he gain the confidence to do that but I don’t want to see us trying that in a game where we can take a stranglehold on the series.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

The more Suicide Squad trailers I see, the worse it looks

all we’re doing it shooter jumpers. No ones really take it to the hole except Book a couple times.

 

[Covert Rain]

Watch how Holiday puts pressure on CP3. He doesn’t respect Paul’s dribble at all. Between almost losing the ball multiple times and dumb passes?!? Something is wrong with CP3. If he plays like that the second half Payne needs more time.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Giannis was a virtually non-factor in the first half, and we’re tied. Do we think it will be important for Ayton to be on the floor as much as possible in the second half?? Giannis is going to look to explode here, and only Ayton can come close to putting up some form of credible defense…

 

[Raindog]

I'm getting flashbacks to the game 5 against the Clippers. Hopefully, it will be a similar result.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

That's not true. We have had multiple shots inside the paint.

Confirmed Suns 7 shots in the paint to the Bucks 12. Bucks have 4 layups off of odd bounces though so it is really 7 to 8

 

[Chaplin]

Surprising, the ABC guys were gushing about Booker.

I just posted this… I don’t however think anything is “wrong” with Paul, other than he is totally shot from the effects of Holiday using his size and strength on him the second he touches the ball!
