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

[Cardsfan77]

The ending was this series in a nutshell. Holiday with a steal, Giannis with the game-winning dunk…

You forgot the offensive rebound and second chance points

 

[Chaplin]

Someone tell Monty his stupid made up Montyisms don’t win games.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Last game we come down for the tying shot... no timeout. Turnover.

does Monty learn anything from that?

Down 1, we come down, no timeout, no play and... turnover.

Monty was awful all night tonight. Couldn’t figure out for the life of him when to stop runs, use timeouts or figure out how to slow the Bucks down.

 

[1Sun]

Monty is a fantastic teacher and motivator, but as an in-game manager, he is John MacLeod, I'm afraid.

 

[Dback Jon]

Valley Oops

 

[SirStefan32]

The important question is... who is this team's Shawn Marion? Who folded the most? I gotta go with Paul. Someone named Marion "the Tortilla" years ago. I feel like CP3 has earned the right to inherit that nickname.

 

[Proximo]

what a horrible way to go out.

wish I believed suns will win the next game, but I don’t.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Major choke job now get to see fing bucks win championship f this i frel sick

 

[sdscard4]

Holiday is all over Bookers wrist...but why call it right?

 

[SirStefan32]

Monty is Earl Watson with a better roster. At least in the finals.

 

[Proximo]

I am not even sure what they do with Paul now.

if this is the best he can play in the finals, I don’t think I want him resigned.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Suns never winning it... lol

Green hit self pitty

I feel fibg nauseous

 

[Chaplin]

Monty is Earl Watson with a better roster. At least in the finals.

In this game he certainly is.

 

[nashman]

It’s over Monty has blown these finals that’s 3 in a row just call it 4 because this team is toast! How that’s not a foul on Holiday for the so called steal is this whole series in a nutshell, t he y are allowed to play aggressive with no calls and they get a whistle with the slightest contact sometime even with no contact!

 

[Dback Jon]

Monty like a deer in the headlights

 

[FB94]

The Bucks have had secondary players step last three games big time. Suns can’t say the the same. Their bench is crushing our bench. Our big three is now one guy. Paul and Ayton have been pathetic last two games. Ayton playing like his old ***** self

 

[TJ]

The State of Arizona will never see another championship in my lifetime. What a joke this franchise is.

 

[az240zz]

Crushing loss…

No its what they deserved

 

[Sunstroke]

Bucks are simply bigger, stronger and better coached.
Deep jump shots will not get it done. Ayton is simply weak
against this club.

 

[JosiahLee]

I’m sorry but Holiday grabbed both of Bookers wrists. D Book is still the most disrespected player in this league.

Credit to the Bucks for playing out of their minds.
If I’m the Suns I’m not crushed by this loss, I’m pissed. This series isn’t over yet.

 

[sdscard4]

The State of Arizona will never see another championship in my lifetime. What a joke this franchise is.

That's uncalled for in my opinion
We can lose this and I dont give a crap
Damn proud of the Suns!

 

[Finito]

5 Suns in double figures 40 from Booker and 20/10+ double doubles from Ayton and Paul and still not enough

Suns defense was the story of this game

 

[Cheesebeef]

Monty is Earl Watson with a better roster. At least in the finals.

he’s been really bad the last three games.

 

[82CardsGrad]

No team goes from the basement to the Championship in the NBA… ever.
This Suns team surprised everyone, including all of you.
This painful experience will sharpen them and they will be better for it.
They’re not that far from being a Champion, even with an aging CP3. I trust Jones, AND Monty. They’ll do what is needed to the best of their abilities, to strengthen this team and further minimize the weak points. More quality depth behind Ayton us to be the top priority.
Not sure about Crowder… start him or locate a better option for starter.

What a season. It was an unexpected and one helluva ride!

 

[Chaplin]

Again, Monty coached this game like it was the regular season.

 

[82CardsGrad]

5 Suns in double figures 40 from Booker and 20/10+ double doubles from Ayton and Paul and still not enough

Suns defense was the story of this game

When the other team shoots 50% from three and 58% overall… we’ll, yea… it wasn’t enough.
