Suns don’t play defense, they don’t rebound the ball, and are one dimensional on offense. No wonder they’re getting reverse swept. Oh yeah they also have Chris Paul who had built a legacy on choking.

Not many players are willing to step in front of them to defend it because Giannis will get the calls unless the defender is excellent at forcing chargers.

Lakers or Clippers would be in the Finals right now if it weren't for AD's groin giving out or Kawhi's torn ACL.

I hope Evan Mobley turns out to be great because I agree.

Someday when Ayton is a vet himself and punishing new players on court, he will look back on this series and remember how Giannis gave him his welcome to the NBA finals moments

Ayton is the one likable guy on the Suns, sucks to see him struggling out there. He'll grow from this tho.

Just to keep perspective, Suns were up by 16 at the end of the 1st quarter last game.

We have a long game to go.

Watch Game 3 of Lakers vs Suns first round. Lakers were laughing at them up 2-1 before AD'S groin injury.

Phx has to stay close. You have to make Milwaukee make plays in the clutch.

you’re supposed to play uptight and then have the secondary defender sit and wait, except PHX doesn’t have the personnel outside of Ayton who’s inexperienced

Raptors had the personnel to form a Giannis wall. Suns do not.

If the lead is 12 pts or less at halftime, this game will go to OT, book it, friends!

People say the bucks coach isn’t good at adjustments and makes questionable decisions, but Monty hasn’t been good at all these last 4 games
