He's had some fantastic passes tonight.

I have been really impressed with Ant's playmaking and decision making so far this series..it's a shame his teammates have bricked so many wide open 3's he created, especially the corner ones

Does anyone still doubt we are the better team? I mean Loaf predicted we get swept, and Zona seemed to think we lose, but this seems clear as day to me.

Our guys will get the flopping tech. I think Rudy had the one and flopping tech this year. That I’ve seen called anyway…

All series I've been hoping for a good 3pt shooting game, but so far we just keep missing open looks.

Anthony Edwards is making a lot of really impressive passes, this game.

NAW has missed so many open looks so far..feel like almost all of them were from Ant's passes

The Suns are looking like how I felt we matched up against the Clippers and Warriors. I felt like those teams had nothing for us. I'm not sure the Suns have anything for us either, if we lose, I feel like it will be us beating ourselves at this point (Like KAT racking up stupid fouls situation). They don't have a lot of answers.

Jinx what? I am not saying we are gonna win, I am saying the refs are playing better defense than the Suns.

Ant making good decisions is incredible, even if a lot of it won't show up on the stat sheet.

To be clear, I said 5, not swept.

All things considered, that was a pretty well-played half for us and we are in solid position with 24 minutes left.
