NBA Finals

Booker with an all time bonehead play, but the officials didn’t call the obvious foul. No way do you take the foul when you’re the only guy on your team who can put the ball in the basket.
Is Chris Paul trying to throw games? Seriously. The number of careless turnovers for an “experienced top PG” is mind blowing
The NBA's currently so awash in UK blue that it's not out of the realm of possibility that we could see Wildcats win titles for the next ten years straight.
30 Wildcats in the NBA out of 122 ever (including ABA) … 1 out of every 4
side tracking… how was Dan Issel only an 8th round pick? And “I think Tayahaun Prince and Nazr Mohammed will have the longest NBA careers (in games played) of any UK alum after Issel” said absolutely nobody when they were freshmen (Prince had the talent, but nobody thought he had the body to hold up more than a few seasons.)
Hard to watch, Chris Paul cost them this game. He played like this in The Clippers losses. If he crosses mid court backwards you know the offense is screwed for the possession. At least he wasn't kicking people to get a foul called like he did in his bad games against the Clippers. Dude should have been benched.
He depends too much on the refs at the end of games to bail him out. Stay with what was working for you all along.
Booker and Paul both try to seek out too much contact and when it's not called it back fires. A lot of stuff that's called in the regular season doesnt get called in the playoffs which must be frustrating to the players.
For as great as CP3 is, when it mattered the most, he wasn't there. Whether it's injuries, his flopping history, or dick-punching players..
The best ability is availability. And there's a reason CP3 has little in the way of post season success. He has a total of 135 playoff games (not as great of a number as it looks), but about 50 of those came from his time with PHX/HOU, and another 50 came from his time with LAC. Only like 25 came from his first 6-7 years in New Orleans.
A great player. But hard to rely on.

Could careless about the NBA especially this finals but would like Books to snatch up that finals mvp
Terrible turnover, foul, & failure to rebound. Suns crapping the bed here at the end. Still time but doesn’t look good.
Damn DB worried about that Jenner Kardashian summer vacay. Played like **** the last few minutes and gave it away on the most important possession of the game.
The Suns have missed so many opportunities to win this game because of a lack of FUNDAMENTALS. No blocking out, driving 1 on 3, no rotation on defense, jacking up shots out of the offense and playing lax during the 2nd and 3rd quarter.
However, that Middleton kid lit it up. Giannis is a small forward in a centers body.

Scored 5 of the last 7 points.
Got hacked on the turnover. Sounds like you lost a bet
He didn’t get hacked (Holiday ripped him cause it was obvious what book was gonna do)…and I don’t bet on the nba. Good try though. Carry on.
That was some performance by the Bucks after the first quarter. They didn't panic after falling behind 16, but rather took complete command of the game for the next two and a half quarters. Also great defense on Devin after the Suns got it down to 120-119 with the big run in the final few minutes. Sets up an interesting dynamic for Game 6. I think the Suns will respond from it, come out and play well. Maybe they won't win, but it'd be surprising to me to see them roll over and die after coming this far.
I noticed you didn't refute the part of him scoring 5 huge points in the last minute..(giving him 40 for the game)
There have been some good games.
The frustrating part if the officiating is so inconsistent. Sometimes they call touch falls ... other times they don't call fouls when people are hacked. I don't get it.

Hot Take: My hatred of Chris Paul has over-ridden my love of Booker so I'm finding myself rooting for Milwaukee this series. Plus I'm sick of Wilbon and Stephen A. (and I generally like both) ripping the Bucks coach and kissing Paul's ***. Turns out Wilbon is writing a book with Paul that's out in a couple months. No wonder.
This.
CP3 is dirty cry baby. If anyone is still looking for a UK connection, Rondo told CP3 years ago he'd never win a championship when their beef was heavy...so hopefully it remains true.
The Suns haven't played a Healthy team all playoffs and now that the bucks switched Jrue Holiday on Paul he's starting to struggle. He will be the first player to lose a series 4 times after starting 2-0.
I'm sure PTI and Stephen A, will focus on lebron being there
