Suns @ Bucks Sunday Finals game thread 7-11-2021 - Game 3

[Chris_Sanders]

Monty has his work cut out for him

I know he said he isn't going to talk to Booker but he needs to

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I’ll be interested to see if Monty finds any adjustments.

 

[Proximo]

I’m just flabbergasted at Booker playing SO badly.

im not. He is mostly shooting 3’s. He is not a good 3 point shooter.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton has three personal fouls so this may hurt in the 2nd half.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I just don’t get how Bridges can be so damn inconsistent.

to go from a 27 point game to ZERO in the next game in the first half is a problem. And this isn’t a young rookie or second year guy. This was an older draft pick in his third year.

 

[Chaplin]

Ayton has three personal fouls so this may hurt in the 2nd half.

Torrey and Jae need to hit shots so the Bucks don’t rest when Ayton is on the bench.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

im not. He is mostly shooting 3’s. He is not a good 3 point shooter.

That’s partially why I’m flabbergasted. When his 3 isn’t in he usually finds a way to get to the line or find midrange. He just looks like he’s sleepwalking.

 

[Chaplin]

To be fair, Monty is generally good at making adjustments at halftime. Better than in game at least.

 

[Proximo]

Don’t see the desperation in this team so far tonight. Definitely see it with the Bucks.

because he does not create his own offense, other than cuts, and he has not taken a single shot hat I can remember.

basically bucks changed defense to make ayton beat them, and he was for a while.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Go Normal Hale and demand 5 passes before taking a shot.

 

[Chaplin]

Also noticed Bridges not moving or cutting at all. Don’t understand that. It seems that is by design, and a coaching fail.

 

[itlnsunsfan]

Welp that sucked. I recently posted that this team never stops grinding. I hope to see that in the second half.

 

[Proximo]

yeah, i think this game is over. Don’t think bucks are going to give up a 15 point lead in a game this important.

I know all of the above. I’m flabbergasted that at this point in his career he still hasn’t developed his off the dribble game or confidence to use it if he has.

 

[Chaplin]

15 points is nothing.

 

[Mainstreet]

FIVE POINTS COMBINED from Bridges, Crowder, Craig and Cam Johnson.

 

[Sunstroke]

Give the Bucks perimeter defense credit. Our boys can't get to their spots
for open looks to this point.

FIVE POINTS COMBINED from Bridges, Crowder, Craig and Cam Johnson.

yup. We go as usually those guys go. Normally if two of Bridges/Crowder/Cam are hitting we’re in great shape. We can win when only one is on. But with NONE on, that’s a tall task, especially if Book is atrocious.

To an extent. Cam Johnson had 2 wide open looks he normally hits.

Booker missed 2 wide open 3s as well.

Then you take it to the basket

We’re down by 15 and Book would have made that up by himself if he was hitting. You are right about the forwards though. It’s the difference between a win/close loss and a blowout.

 

[nashman]

Booker did take it to the rack and got hacked and fouled with no call. But yeah keep sayi my the refs hav nothing to do it’s this bucks run…

 

[Finito]

Monty telling it like it is there flat out out working us

suns just standing around

 

[Mainstreet]

That's not an offensive foul on Booker.

 

[nashman]

And just to start the 3rd another ridiculous call against Booker!
