2021 NBA Finals: Phoenix Suns vs Milwaukee Bucks

Giannis now has more 40-point Finals games than Kobe

just making history out there

Giannis and Thanasis Antetokounmpo combined for 41 points in Game 3, the most by a pair of brothers in NBA Finals history.

lol

if giannis had played like this every game...hitting free throws and looking to pass makes him unstoppable

also rolling/relocating after the pass

Bucks by 20

"Shaq in 2000
LeBron in 2016
Giannis in 2021.

That's it. That's the list of back-to-back 40-point games in the NBA Finals ever. 🔥"

Uhhhhh. MJ had 4 games of 40+ in a row in '93 Finals

1) where was bridges
2) suns might've been better served if booker just stayed at the hotel in an ice bath
3) kaminsky is so glaringly worse than everyone else on the court, it's a little embarrassing
4) hard to imagine that giannis can play at this level for another 3 to 5 games and hard to imagine the bucks winning this season if he doesn't.

that's right, it's an eight game series; i said it

if it ends up 4-4 everyone just shakes hands and goes home

the always awkward "i thought we won" game 8

this sounds like an I Think You Should Leave s3 sketch idea

Ayton racking up fouls early changed the entire game; it forced the Suns to go small which actually worked pretty well offensively for a while, but it also meant Giannis could grab unlimited rebounds and had to be fouled in the paint every time. Like yeah he played awesome but he was also up against dudes who were like 6 inches shorter and 50 pounds lighter than him. Kaminsky had to go in just to give them some size which made things even worse.

Feel like the Bucks can still win even if Giannis doesn't go supernova every game - Middleton usually takes over one game a series and the Suns can go cold from 3. Wouldn't bet on it but this was exactly the sort of victory they needed. Suns actually shot a higher percentage than Milwaukee, Bucks were just grabbing a ton of rebounds & getting fouled

when giannis makes his rebounds and is playing that aggressively, he's basically unstoppable
i continue to wonder how long he can play at this level without aggravating his knee tho
wonder why he asked out in the first quarter for a breather, that was odd

Uhhhhh. MJ had 4 games of 40+ in a row in '93 Finals

the graphic said 40-10 but then the tweet just said 40, prob why they deleted it

Ah gotcha

Giannis is the most specifically effective superstar we’ve had in a long time. Some people compare him to shaq but Shaq was such a diverse post scorer relatively. In a weird way he reminds me of David Robinson.

even a blind squirrel etc etc

folks the suns look Ready

Jrue missed like 3 layups already

Some gross shooting so far

Feels like they should be down 12

CP turnovers becoming a problem

got to say 4 games in and i truly and deeply despise the 8k camera

I love it whole heartedly

booker slaying in the mid range

booker is so good

Did you guys see that obvious pass Jrue didn’t make for some reason? What was that?

Bucks 2/15 on threes jfc

tie ballgame baby

cp and jrue both playing like shit lol

booker as new model normie kobe is very weird for me

normal kobel

lol jvg is salty about giannis's free throw routine

yeah, last couple of booker shots very kobe-esque

i'm a little surprised that was not challenged. looked like the high-5 contact to me.

Gross stuff from Crowder

insane no call

wtf

heads up play by giannis

crowder and payne are very floppy xp

What the hell

woooah big 3

forgot what a close game was like, thrilling!

cp3 killed the suns down the stretch

chris paul just straight falling down at the most critical possession of a massive finals game is, like.......................

yeah cp3 has been pretty awful this half

looks like his whole body has run out of spring

his offensive possessions have gone turnover, hopeless layup attempt, turnover. he sucked in the same situations in game 2 and no one talked about it

booker whining to the refs my god dude
