Suns vs Bucks |GM5 Finals |

I was just listening to a hezi episode where he was talking about getting rough with Kyrie. “When you get the chance, you gotta knock the quinoa outta his ass” had me dying

I like how the league will try to address all these offense-driven foul baiting next season, but I don't like how this particular CP3 move will be considered a foul. Stopping midway on a drive isn't unnatural. It's one thing that an offensive player goes into a stationary defender or a defender trying his best to avoid contact, it's another when an unsuspecting defender runs into the offensive player. Maybe this new rule should have a block/charge nuance to it. Or at least, if the refs are unsure, just make them no-calls. Much better viewing experience for fans.

BIG FAX. I came for the analysis, stayed for the humor

I don't think Giannis is a dirty player. I think he's low IQ.

John Pettus

Competitive. But it is because the NBA bow to Lebron whining to ban Green, and then Bogurt was hurt. I still cannot watch the game 7.

Tai Jan Huang

“He might have to eat his crickets and ants through a straw after that” 🤣😂🤣 Alch, this had me dying. I feel like if you did a super cut of your best roasts and stuck that on YouTube, you might get some new patrons out of it. Come for the roasts, stay for the top-tier analysis.

Most of the top players that got hurt are typically not iron men (or freak injuries) and Lebron is finally up against father time. Kawhai’s knees are always a question mark, same with Kyrie, and it’s a miracle KD made it out out of those 3 stars. That’s what happens to top heavy teams they’re 1 key injury away from failure.

Andres Lozano

sure, but a shortened off-season and condensed regular season really took their toll and we have way more injuries than usual. It's surprising CP3 has lasted so long given down given his history. Neither Bucks and SUns are all that good and both would be crushed by a healthy Lakers, Clips, or Brooklyn Squad (IMHO). The fact that we are getting the 4th and 5th best teams in the finals is kind of a letdown for me.

Andrej Krickovic

There's just something special about seeing age catch up to CP3 and LeBron. Bye bye guys

Jim

Staying healthy is part of winning a championship. Trainers exist on the team for a reason.

Sean Kneeland

or if 4 of the top 10 players in the league (Bron, AD, Kawahi, Harden --according to ESPN's rankings) pull up injured during the playoffs...

Andrej Krickovic

It’s only an asterisk if your team’s not in it ;-)

Nadav Savio

Yes, the games are competitive and it's fun to see the growth of Giannis, but still tough for me to get up for these asterisks finals.

Andrej Krickovic

Kash Money Khris Middleton is that ugly dude that somehow picks up all the girls, and that level of confidence is how is IS batman. Mans gonna tweet at Beyoncé after he wins the finals.

Pelvis

Giannis has a lot of unnecessary decisions on the court that may be dirty. But I'm loving His Growth.

Nah Giannis is one of the most respectable players in the league, that push on book was definitely questionable but let’s not act like CP3 doesn’t have a history of dirty plays.

Aiden McBride

I witnessed two of the most iconic moments in nba finals history

richard phan

Been loving the coverage of the finals Uncle Alc. <3

Major Powers

I hope CPcheat goes down in a heap. And u correctly called out Booker for grabbing anything he can get his hands on. I bet the review of his off hand wrap on Middletons lane floater attempt was a nice way to show the refs that Book really is a hack on D. He seems a little desperate at times, same with his complaints, I love how almost all of the Bucks don't bitch excessiively about calls. This is a good series.

Russ

What happened in 16… I have wiped it from memory. But your absolutely right! Personally I was working thru almost all the games. I did have to endure a lot of the live angst

Athletic Alchemy

We did have one competitive final at 2016

Natto Santo

Thoughts on KD and dray playing together again for USA?

Kurtis Forge

Where was the hack a Shaq on Giannis? Suns couldn’t get any stops down the stretch

Julian Mihdi

Bucks in 6!!!

Lady J

The fact that the Bucks were able to adjust in the 2nd quarter and have Lopez drastically outplay Cp3 in that quarter is shocking. Been asking for more Jrue pnr to get him in rhythm and look at the results....better late than never I guess.

William Mitchell

you are right on the warriors finals, it felt like we were either blowing out our opponents or getting blown out. On the push, i guess it’s a reputation thing. Giannis play was dangerous but he was trying to block the shot, chris paul is known for doing these little pushes throughout his career so he is getting the slander he deserves

Kevin Chan

From a Suns fan. Whatever you have to say about Middleton that dude makes big time shots.

Cam Payne is just as much of a liability on defense as cp3 if not more.

bayareaglock

Stop it

Toulivinho

These 2 teams are extremely evenly matched except in one key aspect, the bucks are veteran team that has been through the battles of the playoffs for the last 4 or so years and the suns are in the playoffs for the first time with this group. The experience is showing itself in the fact that the bucks are looking so much more composed in those nerve racking moments imo

Man Uncle Alch-if THIS series was a Warriors Final-I'd be already in family therapy going bi-polar over the results. 2016 was bad enough-2017 I went to a friends house to scream, swear and cheer that eventual result. I broke my phone in the 2018 WCF when they were down at halftime during Memorial Day weekend with everyone over-but they came back and the Finals were anti-climatic. These have been fantastic games to watch from a purely basketball appreciation standpoint. I can't imagine what it must be like down there in Phoenix going through the ringer of being up 2-0, now down 3-2. If you ask me now-the Bucks look like the better team. They sure were last night. May the best team win I suppose!

Paul Hanson

I loved that Jrue lob to Giannis specifically because of the situation Jrue was put in. You're up 1, you get the ball into the front court waiting to be foued, and you see Giannis streaking open to the rim. You can either hold the ball and get fouled, and attempt to make both free throws, though that would only put you up 3. Or you can take the lob to Giannis, which if he gets it is a free 2 points, but it's a deceptively difficult pass. Jrue takes the second option, and throws a great pass, and Giannis finishes with a foul. That specific situation with the stakes Jrue had could only happen at that moment. Cant be duplicated

Slurpy

Don't cry for Chris Phoenix Fans about that stop short irregular dive call that will be outlawed next year. I was talking to Jake from State Farm, he's my agent too, and he told me that next year Chris is going to drive around Phoenix in his car(s) and stop short so that other motorists will rear end him. Jake will rush to his rescue help with the insurance claims but there is lingering concern that while that will satisfy Chris' need to take advantage of others, there is still the problem of how to be able to hit/punch/kick the other driver in the balls so Chris gets the full experience.

Steven Stanley

Am I the only one that think holiday fouled booker? Thought he pulled his arms down then the ball

I personally disagree. Aside from the game 7, every game in that series was mostly a blowout

guni_800

2016 was nerve racking lol

james moore

Good point. Tried to erase that out of my mind

Hg80

The Warriors-Cavs series that Cleveland won = very competitive

Jerry Heverly

king alch coming thru when im sitting in ohio bored out of my mind

Shea Johnson

Alch you called the Jrue Holiday game. Hopefully the Bucks can close it out on their home floor and deny CPFlop a ring
