They never showed the block again during the broadcast did they?
They did not. I was yelling at the TV ... "why are they not showing us the block?!"
Someone on Twitter guessed that they were saving replays for the post-game interview. I don't buy that, really? But they did show two angles while interviewing Middleton.

also, I liked Bam's block on Tatum better than Giannis's's's block even though the latter was a more impressive defensive play.
still taking LeBron vs. Iggy over both of 'em, though.

It's pretty weird how poorly CP3 has been playing. Looks out of control and flummoxed ie the exact opposite of his usual MO

lebron’s block was essentially a championship-winning play. giannis’s was more athletic, but not really by much

It was total pandemonium at the bar I was at, pretty much the exact moment where everyone realized they could actually win despite being behind the entire game
Was actually planning to be in the Deer District but I cancelled bc it was supposed to rain. Damn!!!

CP's worst game came at an awful bad time but I'm inclined to think he rebounds
― Yours in Sorrow, A Schoolboy: (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 15 July 2021 15:24 (two years ago) link
hes having a tough time with the bucks D particularly jrue picking him up early, i think hes just getting beat up and worn down, suns should prob do something to get him off the ball more
― lag∞n, Thursday, 15 July 2021 15:26 (two years ago) link
yeah, he hasn't had to deal with this much pressure defense in some time i'm guessing. more of those late game possessions need to go through booker.

Yeah I went there twice these playoffs it’s amazing but you gotta pregame and hope you don’t have to tinkle too often. Also I lost my voice by the 3rd both times

The only downside of The Block is I feel like it took post-game coverage away from how great Middleton was (and how much the Bucks need Middleton to be great if they're gonna win this series)
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 15 July 2021 15:33 (two years ago) link
Was shocked to see Middleton wind up with 40. It’s crazy how he seems to have the same game every time, ice cold in the first half then suddenly he hits like 6 in a row in the second then disappears again. Idk i guess it works for them
They need Holiday to have an average game offensively, he’s missing like 3 layups a game bc he just can’t get the roll and he’s not hitting threes either. Bucks seem to dominate every time he gets around 50%
― frogbs, Thursday, 15 July 2021 15:52 (two years ago) link
suns offense was so iso heavy in game 4, totally relying on Book to hit covered jumpers

it fucked me over b/c I told my Mom I could get her from the airport on Wednesday since I was sure G4 would be on Tuesday. wound up having to listen in the radio, Mom was telling me about her trip (like the actual plane ride, mostly) while I just kept hearing "Booker hits it again!" on the radio. dropped her off, ran as fast as possible to a bar across the street, Suns were up 5 w/ like 3:30 to go and you know the rest
