It’s time for the NBA Finals: Bucks vs Suns, Game 6

Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much.

The Bucks got their usual great game from Giannis Antetokounmpo, but also got another great offensive performance from Khris Middleton, and a fantastic defensive banger from Jrue Holiday, who made the critical steal in the last minutes that cemented Milwaukee’s improbably road win in game five. Devin Booker scored a lot of points in game 5, but his late turnover was costly, similar to how Chris Paul’s mistake late in game 4 ended the Suns chances to steal a win. The Suns are going to have to continue to score a lot of points, but avoid the late-game costly turnovers to secure a win in Milwaukee tonight. If they don’t, the Bucks will be celebrating a title tonight. They’re hoping to extend the series another game on Thursday night, with a winner take all game 7. Either way, this has been one of the hardest fought and closest series in years, and a joy to watch.

One final word:

Go Spurs GOOOOOO!! Yeah, they aren’t playing tonight, but you can still back the Silver and Black tonight. Go Forbes. Go Monte. Go Bud!

NOTE: Forbes has been a DNP the last three games, [all won by the Bucks] due to the Bucks focus on defense. It’s not looking good for my prediction that he would be the Finals MVP.
