I don’t mind Tucker taking that corner 3; just not sure I want him taking 7 attempts. Same thing with Holiday. 12 attempts in game 6 is way too many.

I for one am glad this forum has a resident obsessive asshole to post shit like this.
I’ll own that take.
Says the teacher who spends his school days posting on a Packer forum.
That’s rich, Jerry.
There’s a lot of good stuff in the Bucks forum for those that want to follow and comment on the Bucks.
There’s only so much to talk about with Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams.
A fun scenario would be for Bucks and Brewers to win title and Badgers football to make the CFB playoffs. Beats the hell out of talking about Mark Murphy or Gute or all the bullshit drama with the Packers.
piggybacking on Blair...how many times did people start comparing Jhrue to Bledsoe--dumbest thing I heard during this series.

They don’t need some passive aggressive let’s get philosophical flake diva to wreck their title run. If they wanted that guy, I’d call up Brooklyn and inquire about Kyrie Irving.
This team has a good vibe going and there’s Fedya to come around and fuck things up. Don’t you have some obscure 1938 movie to review?
Hateful™.
Especially considering how BK's been pointing out all the Eeyores fucking things up.
When Giannis is at 5, so far teams don't have an answer. Call it Budds death lineup. Let's see what Ayton can do vs. Giannis. Hopefully Giannis can go Tuesday night.
If not it sure would be cool to beat Phoenix in game 1 without Giannis, then the Suns need to adjust when Giannis comes in.
I think the Hawks didn't have a clue how to handle the Bucks minus Giannis. The Bucks became a true team in games 5 & 6. Stop the stupid turnovers & don't play iso ball. Play solid defense & I guarantee they'll be in every game with a chance to win.
Fear the 🦌🦌🦌!!

Shirley you can't be Seriesus.
Swell of hope that the Bucks will beat the Sons.
Everyone has their deal. BK is the hall monitor. You like old movies.
It’s funny though how some people lurk around and show up occasionally but hey the more the merrier.
Some of the best and worst stuff I’ve read on the Bucks is on this site. But it’s still decent. Not quite TNT with Ernie and the crew, but people call it like they see it and why that offends people I have no idea.
You want gambling advice tune in to follow Boris. MP2 and Music and others have solid takes as do others that are frequent posters. Again, I’d welcome more of it. And if people get pissed or annoyed or frustrated at times so what. Life isn’t always duckies and bunnies but we are all Bucks fans.
Tell me about the Suns. I haven't seen them play and would've thought the Bucks wouldve been heavy favorites in the series, Giannis or not. Milwaukee has had the best record in the league past few years and Suns have sucked. Is this just a hot streak for them?
I've heard of Paul, Booker and Kaminsky.
How can they compete with the Freak Mvp, Holliday, Lopez, Portis, Middleton?
Like I said- Bucks fans are conditioned to disappointment. It’s in their DNA after being a shit franchise for so long. I don’t hold it against folks for being reactive- if you care, you’re going to protect yourself. Human, after all.
And this time around? Enjoy it win or lose. They made it to the mountaintop, now let’s see if they can make it theirs. The Suns stand in their way. Don’t piss down your leg and play hard, smart… hopefully that’s enough. If not, they got the taste. It’ll help them the next opportunity.

Up until 5:23 left in Game 7 of the Nets series, Holiday had gone 40 for 113 (35%) from the floor and 10 for 46 from 3 (22%) in that series. Those numbers are worse than Bledsoe's playoff numbers. Holiday was still elite on defense (Bledsoe was also never bad on that end), but he was terrible on offense. It could have been all the energy he expended on defense, but let's not pretend he wasn't really struggling.
Then, in the most critical stretch (5:23 to the end of regulation) of a Bucks game in 47 years, he goes 3 for 6, hits 2 of 4 from 3, 1 of 2 from the line, and assisted on 2 baskets for 5 points. He accounted for 14 points in less than 4 minutes when the Bucks were down 96-91 and it looked like another playoff loss.
Holiday took over a Game 7 at the most crucial time after being awful on offense for a whole series. That might be the most impressive stretch of play I've seen from someone given the fact that he was willing to take those shots after starting that game 2 for 17.
Quoting oneself on x4 is like Blair Kiel referring to himself in the 3rd person.
That scoring barrage by Middleton in the 3Q of game 6 v ATL was impressive but he was outdone by Holiday in the 4Q of game 7 v the Nets. That’s what clutch players do- they rise to the occasion.
The 3pt shot is the great equalizer but both guys are so good and savvy offensively (otherwise) they shouldn’t get too comfortable with it. I mean, Joe Harris shot 47% from 3 during the regular season but he’s the modern day Kyle Korver. You lock him up and get in his grill and he’s done as he really has no other second or third move. Portis was right behind him in 3pt % but he has a soft touch around the rim so that’s my point. Don’t get lazy and settle.
Middleton is a career 40% shooter from 3 so I don’t mind him bombing away if it’s uncontested. Holiday isn’t as good (36%) so he needs to be more judicious when taking 3s but he’s so good finishing why bother?

If it's consensual, what is the harm?
Great Ringer article:
Very happy for the Bucks and it is amazing they are in a finals, finally. Being without cable, I haven’t seen much of any of their games this season. Glad the finals are on network tv. Of course, this series is going to be extremely competitive, and the Suns have the home court advantage. So with that said, Bucks in 7.
