Yeah I can’t place Ayton that high cause right now he doesnt seem capable of creating his own offense at all

They are talking about Giannis but Phx is the team that looks gassed. Milwaukee looked like Ali with Rope a Dope and tired them out.......

Not sure if they have the fuel to get it back.

Jrue’s defense has been here the entire time, his shots are finally falling though.

That trade is looking pretty damn good right now.

And they have lol.


What Bucks player got 9 fouls? What Suns block got called goultending? What Bucks players other than PJ Tucker, who thankfully they haven't rewarded, is flopping around like a fish like Booker and Jae Crowder?

If i was petty I could go back and easily give you a dozen of no calls/bs calls in favor of the Bucks.

Bucks are the streakiest offensive team I've seen. One game its lights out and the next is a major brick fest from them

The Suns are showing why they aren't a finals team. Didn't face AD, didn't face Murray, didn't face Kawhi. Their entire playoff run has been fraudulent.

I don’t think I’ve seen Jrue and Middleton locked in during the same game all postseason.

That right there is where Giannis's biggest improvement from last year came. He keeps his head up and hits the open guys rather than just trying to bully his way to the rim everytime. After the wall limited him in past llayoffs he got to work to counteract it when the defense is doing a good job limiting his drive.

Holiday has been great all playoffs, just his scoring has been average. Today his scoring is at the level of his defense abs playmaking

I've been impressed with Giannis today. Making some nice passes out there.

He's coming off an ugly injury. I think he's feeling his knee.

Bailed out? Having Giannis out there is what opens up Jrue and Khris's games.
Why so serious?

Booker trying to win it by himself, attack him on offense to get him tired.

Suns are in big trouble. Seems like there's no stopping this Bucks bombardment.

Bad signs for Suns. Trending to back door sweep.

Bucks would be up by 20 if not for terrible, ticky tack calls.

But we’ll see if they can close it out.

It made no sense to keep Tucker on Booker. Did Bud not see the success Beverly had against Booker? You dont need to put someone bigger on him, just put someone quicker

It is fun watching Booker pushoff and his defenders get called for the foul.....but his team is still down 10.
