Giannis went from doubtful to questionable to chase down blocks in the span of 12 hours lol

Foul baiting is the difference so far.

It was an obvious offensive foul. What's up with all this whinning? This is a good game. Enjoy.
The whining is mostly from fans of other teams that lost to the Suns.

Just people sick of the flopping antics and with eyes.

Crowder falling down after every shot, booker doing his best harden impression. Just waiting for cp3 to get going

Bucks overpaid sooo much for him

Phoenix feels like the better, more cohesive team.

If Giannis can average 25 points off tip dunks and transition scoring and keep controlling the glass and play help defense, the bucks will have a chance despite him being below his usual capability.

If he has nothing else, it's heart.

If Giannis could get some help. His team is a collection, a veritable who's who, of mark-ass tricks, trick-ass marks, skeezers, skanks, skig-scags, and scallywhaps that this league has ever seen.

phx controlled the pace & tempo and ran all the offensive schemes they wanted that entire first half , bucks gotta buckle down or it feels like phx is gonna pull away in the 2nd half

Yeah, but it looked like he was grimacing a little bit after the play. Hopefully he didn’t tweak anything.

The team that pushes the ball and attacks the rim will benefit from foul calls. That team is PHX.

I don't think this series will have any blowouts if both teams are healthy. They're just so evenly matched.
