there will be closer games than this (and this is not over at all), but i'm feeling good about my take that there aren't really any obvious matchup advantages for the bucks.
another trend that i'm watching is which guys can just get hot. i think from the bucks side only middleton has a chance of getting hot and carrying them on offense for a couple minutes. he may actually be doing it now but it's probably too late.

middleton has hit like four really difficult out-of-rhythm 3s and it’s the only reason the bucks aren’t down by 30 right now

It's a good take, cad. When both teams are playing well I think phx wins. It's possible mil figures them out enough to get a few w's but 4 seems unlikely.

i'm sure this is painful. both of these teams are low FT rate iirc and the bucks especially so if giannis is limited (while on the other side booker has been seeking contact all game). but i think the officiating has been ok.

bucks have to adjust and slow it down and not play the game the suns want to play, phoenix is just getting everything they want
― Clay, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 02:59 (two years ago) link
Phx loves to play slow tho
― pure rim rest (Spottie), Wednesday, 7 July 2021 03:01 (two years ago) link
true, could be that whatever pace favors phoenix, but they're getting a lot of pretty quick shots tonight! but it's true that they're pretty dribbly
― Clay, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 03:03 (two years ago) link
i think the difference is that phx playing slow means they run things they are super comfortable with while the bucks don't seem to have a go-to halfcourt offense that works
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 03:04 (two years ago) link
I'd take cp3 in a half court game vs just about anyone

Yah and the suns are doing the thing where they’re all playing well again and the bucks just never seem to get their best from their best at the same time
Jrue has definitely been better than Bledsoe was but they are just not gonna win if he plays like this
― frogbs, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 03:18 (two years ago) link
bledsoe i got but i'm pretty unclear on the conditions under which jrue plays well
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 03:20 (two years ago) link
he plays pretty good when Giannis is out
― frogbs, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 03:22 (two years ago) link
Jrues inconsistent shooting has def hurt them in these playoffs
― pure rim rest (Spottie), Wednesday, 7 July 2021 03:25 (two years ago) link
i feel ridiculous piling on the overall ayton praise but he was perfect tonight, he plays such a smart and in control game, i'm a huge fan of what he's doing.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 03:28 (two years ago) link
Omg don't miss ft
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 7 July 2021 03:29 (two years ago) link
Yah Ayton is shooting like 70% + in the playoffs. Doing everything within the flow and offense and rebounding like crazy.
― pure rim rest (Spottie), Wednesday, 7 July 2021 03:32 (two years ago) link
that was a bummer but I'm not too discouraged yet, Bucks lost the previous two Game 1s and actually managed to make it somewhat close in the 4th despite the Suns playing pretty much perfectly. plus Giannis actually looked pretty good, didn't seem hobbled at all really.
Budenholzer definitely has his hands full, they're not defending the pick n' roll well and seem helpless vs. teams that can actually use them to make midrange shots. also they have more than one player to worry about which makes this a bit different than the last two series
― frogbs, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 03:45 (two years ago) link
btw I ain't gonna complain about the officiating but it's nuts Middleton didn't get a single FT, dude was taking a ton of contact
― frogbs, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 03:49 (two years ago) link
the bucks being +15 from three on 44% shooting and losing by 13 doesn't feel like a great omen.
you have to assume the free throw disparity will equalize especially when the bucks go home but the suns don't foul a lot & aside from giannis the bucks don't have anyone who is gonna pound the FT line. middleton having zero FTs is an anomaly but he's also only averaging 4 FT per game in the playoffs. tucker, brook, jrue are not gonna shoot a lot of FTs. the bucks have won a lot of games in this postseason by getting a lot of extra points outside the normal flow of their offense and idk if the suns are gonna let a lot of that happen.
the bucks role players also played pretty well, getting 6-11 from three from portis, teague, connaughton & forbes is an A-level game from that group. i could see them having some bigger games at home but that might be the best they provide on the road in this series.
there weren't any peripheral factors that slanted against the bucks aside from free throws, a lot of what the suns did in this one feels repeatable to me. i think what it comes down to for the bucks is if they have more games where they're only getting 30 combined points from giannis and jrue it's going to be a tough hill for them to climb
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 7 July 2021 04:29 (two years ago) link
Giannis was +1 in his 35 minutes so that's kind of a good sign. obviously it sucks to have them finally hit some 3s and still get crushed, but on the other hand CP3 ain't shooting 63% every game. ultimately the Suns just seem to have a gear that the Bucks don't. as Spottie mentioned they rarely have a game where their big 3 are all playing well at the same time. instead it's usually "Giannis was good but missed a lot of FTs, Middleton got hot for 5 minutes, Jrue mostly sucked" and that ain't enough to win against a team that pretty much plays perfectly. who knows, maybe the Suns will cool off, maybe Bud will figure something out, it's a long series but yeah that felt like a total blowout even if it wasn't on the scoreboard
― frogbs, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 04:51 (two years ago) link
suns have edges up and down the roster. think the refs missed calls when khris and giannis were getting hit, but it's hard for the bucks when the suns can put giannis on the line instead of letting him shoot every time he attacked in the 4th. really takes the momentum out of a comeback
― symsymsym, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 04:53 (two years ago) link
bucks should fire Bud and hire Ty Lue to make adjustments before the start of the next game
