Agent23 Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 I'm sad Black Widow will be overlapping with Game 2 tonight. I skipped the chance to see this werewolves movie Tuesday because it was an 8:30 showing only and would have had me miss all of Game 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Unless there’s another Kyrie type injury don’t see the bucks winning this series. Suns are just a lot better overall. I also think the Suns pieces fit together better. And like i said a couple weeks back i don’t trust middleton and holiday to be consistent enough against better teams as the no. 2 and 3 options. Middleton at times looks like an all star and then tonight 5-16 for 11. Holiday has been up and down and his shooting throughout the playoffs has been really alarming. He’s shooting 41.1% (130-316) and 28.9% (33-114). He had 17 points tonight but was 7-21. So far this series hes 11-35 (31.4%) and 1-7 from three.

In fact, he’s brought them down considerably. Bucks are screwed with that contract and their overall cap situation going forward. This is their best shot.

Suns maybe down to 7 guys now with Saric and Craig potentially out. Can they wear down Paul with full court pressure for 40 minutes. I think next game is telling Stop playing Tucker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can they wear down Paul with full court pressure for 40 minutes. I think next game is telling Stop playing Tucker I think depends on Nader. I’d argue Nader has been nearly as good as saric when he’s played this year. I’d say better defensively but slight drop off offensively. That might just be a push imo. Craig hurts cause I think he’s a solid bench piece that gives you 10-20 quality mins per game. If Craig is out of game 3 and 4 (likely) i wouldn’t be surprised if the Suns give cam Johnson and Payne more minutes. Cam actually been really good and probably earned more playing time anyway. That said one of the only regrets the Suns probably have this year is taking jalen smith over Haliburton in the draft. Would’ve been ridiculous to have Booker, bridges, haliburton and Ayton as your young nucleus. I think the issue with tucker is they have to play him cause Connaughton can give you buckets but yet still be a -14 in the game. I actually think this is a series where they finally feel the loss of Divincenzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pointed this out earlier in the playoffs his blazer series is not indicative of what he’s been in the playoffs most of his career. He had games where he plays like that but most of his career outside of that series he’s been really inconsistent game to game with his shooting and scoring. This postseason it’s become more glaring as he’s been super inefficient shooting the ball in most of his games. His atlanta series he averaged 22 ppg which is the best series he’s had since that blazers series in terms of ppg. However he needed 18 shots in order to get that. also when Giannis was out game 5 and 6 i thought it was the most consistent (his entire game defense, scoring, assists and boards) he has actually looked all playoffs game to game.

But one of the biggest praises of Ayton this year and this post season especially was how well he AVOIDED foul trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Ayton in foul trouble and this is over It’s pretty amazing the Suns in their last 9 finals games have given up a 40 point scorer in 6 of those games. that said the bucks are 8-1 at home and just 5-6 on the road in the playoffs. They play significantly better at home. the Suns at home are also 8-2 at home and 6-3 on the road. I have more confidence the Suns could pull out a road victory then the bucks doing so in this series. To me game 4 is going to determine how long this series goes. If the Suns win it’s over in 5. If the bucks win this is likely going to game 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the bucks win this is likely going to game 7 to 40pt factoid... most Finals have a superstar from each team on them, playing about 8-10 minutes per game more than they did during the regular season, so I'm sure most Finals teams have had a lot of 40pt opponents on their stat sheet. we're now in this weird scheduling thing that happens in the Finals. Every other round it seems like games are every other day. MAYBE they get a 2-day break when they have to change cities. But in the Finals you have 1-day off between games 1 and 2... then 2-days off between games 2 and 3... and for some reason 2-days off between 3 and 4.... this probably give advantage towards someone like Giannis with the hyper extension and carrying the most load from his respective team on his shoulders allowing more days for rest/recovery/treatment. Doesn't mean that Bucks will win, but that I think their output on 2 days rest versus 1 day is a greater delta than Phoenix's 1-day vs 2-day (even with an aging Paul) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean that Bucks will win, but that I think their output on 2 days rest versus 1 day is a greater delta than Phoenix's 1-day vs 2-day (even with an aging Paul) I’d put warriors and warriors are the only teams that’s played in multiple finals (2 or more) in the last 30 years have had that many 40 point games in the finals and it took 23 games against Lebron to do it. Even the cavs when they played Durant on the warriors gave up over 32 points per game to Durant but only 1 40 point game. the rest of 2 days definitely benefits giannis and the bucks. You rather make him play sooner rather than later and doesn’t allow for the extra treatment and rest. I still think the bucks have issues on the road though. They’ve been completely inconsistent on the road. Meanwhile the Suns are great at home and much better on the road especially following a road loss than the bucks. I think homecourt winds up being the difference. Also helping last night is Chris Paul teams when Scott foster is officiating are 1-12 in their last 13 games.
