Hello Milwaukee please win

Suns should have gone up 3-0 to secure the automatic series win. Ever since the Bucks prevent the Game 3 win, Suns have been in a tailspin, with Chris Paul getting a majority of the blame.

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.

Just checked the box score and Jrue has 3 fouls already.

I hope to see the Bucks win it, but I think they're going to try their hardest to get seven games.

Taking my midday nap now til 4p. I’m pulling for the Bucks. Most people are saying what Paul needs to do, I don’t agree. If they rely on just Paul and Booker, they will lose. If they get the other’s involved, they have a chance.

Slim Charless??????

Not sure what you mean. Bucks destroyed game 3.

If the CP3 foul on Giannis happened in Fiserv forum Paul probably would be ejected

I guess the L2M report doesnt rule on flagrants (maybe the assumption is that if it was flagrant worthy it would be reviewed on the court?). That was an extremely dangerous play and surprised there isn't more talk about how the head of the player's association was involved in a play like that. (maybe im too sensitive after seeing the Bogut injury live; and the only difference is Giannis was able to hand on the rim just enough)

Maybe CP3 will his first one with Foster ... it is due, good for Suns...

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.

i just know that no matter what the ref actually does. give suns all the soft free throws, let booker stay on court with 10 fouls, foul out jrue by half time

people will still say it was rigged by Scott Foster, like with game 3

I don't think it's just the being up 2-0 that makes it feel like the Suns blew up but also that they led the majority of game 4 and started out with a pretty sizable lead in game 5. Just seems like the run of play has been more in Phoenix's favor.

LMAO. Booker should have fouled out like 5x this playoff run more than he has. Refs just ignore it. I get bad reffing happens to everyone, but I chuckled because this in particular stood out.

Brandon "Bucks in 6" Jennings has returned to Milwaukee. The prophecy will be fulfilled!

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.

Suns obviously will have that desperation tonight, and Milwaukee will be closer than a team up 2-0 would be due to wanting to avoid a game 7 on the road. Going to be a wild one hopefully.

The Suns are too small and too soft versus the Bucks. Plus, their backcourt spends too much time trying to get bailed out by the Refs and whining at them. Finally, most of the Suns are still too green and their main vet on the team always chokes in the big moments. Bucks should be able to finish the series tonight.

I had Bucks in 7 until today. I think they close it out tonight at home.

Booker has to have like 40+ or no dice . Also Midds cant pull his dissappearing act
