@Marcus Carpenter they don't have to stop him, they just have to stop everyone else. Giannis balled out Games 1 & 2 as well and the Bucks still lost cause Holiday and Middleton didn't show up. Those 2 guys have been wildly inconsistent, that's why the Bucks are down 1-2
SAS: “The Bucks have the edge IF they play the way they played last night”. Well thank you Stephen I didn’t know the bucks would have the edge if they win again.
@@tjleaf3510 nah there just facing great defence Beverley had Mitchell and Booker in prison when he guarded them and now jrue, pj and Middleton are guarding Booker
You know it's killing them. Dbook embraces the 2004 pistons and bases his work ethic off them and on the other side Giannis choose the small market over their precious New York, Florida, and Cali teams.
Ayton wasn’t in foul trouble in game 2 Giannis still hit 42 these people are funny We would’ve won game 2 is Middleton and jrue shot better Bucks would be 2-1 up
I wanted to see them throughout the playoffs I haven’t been keeping up with the D squad hosting lol they carrying the network so much they can afford to get time off I guess🤷🏾♂️😂
Giannis is having a Lebron-esque career if you think about it. MVP, brings his team to the playoff. Now he's in the finals? This guy is special, underrated and underreported.
No. Giannis didn’t go cry to another team, to join a bunch of other “stars”; Giannis is NOT having a “LeFlop-esque” career - Giannis is having a Jordan type of career, just as Wade started to before he had LeFlop/LeChina join him in SouthBeach… don’t insult Giannis by comparing his career to a sellout such as LeFlop
@@xxstract28 Ros is WAYYY better than Molly. You must be here looking at women for eye candy rather than what they bring to the conversation and the atmosphere. Ros comes with everything, she's articulate, she knows what she's talking about with sports, she's not awkward when she's speaking and interjects appropriately, doesn't get overtalked and dismissed like Molly, and she still gorgeous as a plus. Ros is a W on this show fr
Everybody watching please remember how bad the show is when it’s Ros Gold, Freddie Coleman and whatever trash they use when Steven A, Max & Molly are gone. Appreciate this because it ruins my morning when they ain’t on. Just cancel the show if they can’t do it.
Bucks biggest mistake was paying Middleton that ridiculous contract he wasn't worth. For that kind of money they could've gotten pretty much anyone in the league.
I agree with Stephen A here. I think talent wise, it's difficult to say the Suns are more talented. But the Suns are more organized, prepared, mature and together.
@Colby Martinez what do you mean by 'talent'? It's kind of a fuzzy term the way we all use it. When I think of talent I think of natural abilities - like being 7ft and being able to run like a gazelle (Freak). So I think CP3 is very untalented. But an extremely poised, intelligent, studious player.
@@davidramirez6258 agreed but with ayton off the floor and on the bench he will have more freedom to do more damage by scoring and gettin others like jae crowder into foul trouble as well
@@user-le9ou9ed9z not AD anymore and if this is prime Giannis peaking right now then I doubt anybody else could. Anybody who’s big enough isn’t fast enough and anybody who’s fast enough isn’t big enough.
@@user-le9ou9ed9z lmao hello ? Yall talking about kawhi guarding giannis in 2019 but the fact that the raptors build a wall and the top of the wall was kawhi
These 2 were saying for weeks that Booker is the new Kobe Bryant or mini mambda, Kobe has never had a 3/14 performance with 10 points, which is disrespectful to compare him with Kobe.
I liked this take from Stephen A. Him and Max are better when they respectfully debate Vs yelling, tearing at each other and all that other stuff. This was pleasant to watch
Media won't say it but the Finals are drawing terrible ratings again no different than last year. And last year had the Lakers but the media excused it because of the pandemic. Well, what's the excuse this year?
Some people just don't want to admit that the whole "black lives matter" stuff pissed off people. Period. It doesn't matter your viewpoint. It made people upset. And it tanked ratings
I've learned one thing watching the Bucks play: Giannis and Budenholzer are a perfect fit. They don't care what the media says (they don't even listen): Bud consistently sticks to his game plan, winning or losing, and Giannis continues to expand his games, still taking outside shots and still getting to the free throw line without fearing, making or missing. They're a very mentally tough team, and can never be counted out.
Charlie is good too, but Ros is the best one they've had though. She knows the most about the sport and brings the most input feedback and flow to the show.
Had my Clippers stayed at 3rd and beaten Houston and OKC, they would be in the Finals. But this was Ty Lue's mistake. You shouldn't "target" teams in the playoffs. Don't care who you play. Just play and play to win.
Shaq created all that narrative about Giannis being Shaq of the New Era because Giannis is literally what Shaq wanted to be, handling the ball and dunking on people
Finally Stephen A is NOT attacking Max as a person and all of a sudden, his points make sense to me and I agree with him this time. Remember that there is a fan predicting this year's finals are the Suns v.s. the Bucks years ago? and he predicted that it's gonna be a game 7 and bucks win
Kobe died last year in a tragic helicopter crash. Lakers wins it all. Ingrid died 5 years ago in a tragic car crash. His hubby will win it all. God will still reward after tragedies.
I bet if first take had LA or Miami or Brooklyn or any of the big markets, they would not only all be in the locations but we wouldn't have had 3rd take covering THE NBA FINALS.
I agree with Max. I can't see Booker having another poor game like he had the one yesterday. I want the Bucks to win, but they still need the supporting cast to step up
If Giannis loses I don’t wanna hear any stupid slander. All the people calling him “robin” the man has dropped 40 back to back. If he wins they’ll be on his nuts but if he loses they’ll say “hEs nOt ReAaLy ThAt GuY” just like they tried to do whenever bron lost his first 2 finals.
Giannis Antetokounmpo deserves ALL of the respect for his performances in the Finals so far: ▪️Played both Games 1 & 2 less than 10 days after hyperextending just knee ▪️Dropped 42 PTS in 40 MINUTES in Game 2, the 2nd Finals game of his career ▪️Giannis’ 20 PTS in the 3rd quarter of Game 2 were the most in an NBA Finals quarter since Michael Jordan’s 22 in 1993 Middleton & Holiday combined to shoot just 12/37 from the field in Game 2. 28 Points. Dominated game 3 GET THIS MAN TEAMMATES WHO WILL SHOW UP ‼️🦌
My 2021 LA Clippers didn't deserve to win the championship. Suns deserved to because they didn't buy their way. They didn't load manage. They didn't tank the last 2 regular season games. They didn't duck.

Bucks biggest mistake was paying Middleton that ridiculous contract he wasn't worth. For that kind of money they could've gotten pretty much anyone in the league.

Facts
Giannis drops a 60 burger off layups n dunks
About time
I'm just here to read last take comments.
Giannis has been playing basketball for 11 years total. Let that sink in.
Giannis Antetokounmpo deserves ALL of the respect for his performances in the Finals so far:
▪️Played both Games 1 & 2 less than 10 days after hyperextending just knee
▪️Dropped 42 PTS in 40 MINUTES in Game 2, the 2nd Finals game of his career
▪️Giannis’ 20 PTS in the 3rd quarter of Game 2 were the most in an NBA Finals quarter since Michael Jordan’s 22 in 1993
Middleton & Holiday combined to shoot just 12/37 from the field in Game 2. 28 Points.
Dominated game 3
GET THIS MAN TEAMMATES WHO WILL SHOW UP ‼️🦌
My 2021 LA Clippers didn't deserve to win the championship. Suns deserved to because they didn't buy their way. They didn't load manage. They didn't tank the last 2 regular season games. They didn't duck.
All accurate statements.
Giannis a future hall of Famer no doubt
