And now with Scott Foster officiating tonight, the Bucks winning the championship is inevitable.
One more thing: in every Suns playoff series, there was an ejection.
Round 1: Devin Booker, Jae Crowder (Suns)
Round 2: Nikola Jokic (opponent)
Round 3: Patrick Beverley (opponent)
By the rule of three, we're getting an ejection tonight.

You know how no team in NBA history has ever come back from down 3-0 in a playoff series, right? Suns were up 2-0 at that time, making Game 3 for Bucks a must-win, or else it's all over (NBA teams up 3-0 are a perfect 143-0).
Logically, rationally, reasonably - A.K.A. The Bones Thesis - Bucks had home court and protected it. But some of us are more invested in the emotional side, so we lean more towards the Suns blew it. It's juicier, has pathos, and is often times ripe with Schadenfreude. We saw the Clippers prevent three straight 3-0 leads on their bracket, winning all of their Game 3s. Preventing 3-0 leads have a psychological edge to them, and the Suns have been rattled by missing their lone shot at a 3-0 lead.

people will still say it was rigged by Scott Foster, like with game 3
Unless the talent level is mismatched (it isn't in this case), there's certainly a desperation for the team down 2-0 that will likely lead them to victory and that the team up 2-0, as much as they want to simply can't muster.Wammy Giveaway wrote:buckboy wrote:Not sure what you mean.
