NBA Finals: (2) Suns vs (3) Bucks, Part 1 | Suns lead 2-0

[skones]

Sure Robin

Game 1: 4 to 12 so +8 Suns
Game 2: 6 to 1 so +5 Bucks. Bucks didn't get called for a single foul until 8:17 in the 2nd quarter

A team that attacks the paint more than the other should not have been -8. We got a favorable whistle to the Suns tonight. Did we get the whistle that the Suns got in game 1? No. I think that happens in Game 3.

Milwaukee - 39
Phoenix - 40

And that one extra FT for PHX? Lopez’s flagrant foul on CP3

You missed my point.

Middleton is not creating contact. He’s settling.

I also think home court officiating will be different. Prediction; Middleton will attempt at least 5 free throws next game.

I did not miss your point, as I wasn’t even replying to you or anything you posted.

In this case I missed your point. I apologize. I assumed since you quoted you were replying to me.

If I were giving advice to Milwaukee coaches I would say do the same thing next game. They attacked the paint early. Giannis destroyed the Suns in the third.

Milwaukee will shoot a ton of free throws with the same intensity in Milwaukee.

As far FMVP right now I got Ayton and Booker neck and neck

its a media award, CP3 will get it

Let's not act like he wouldn't deserve it. Where did the Suns go before CP3 arrived?

Its an award strictly based on the 4-7 finals games and who was the best. Thats it.

Uh the Bucks weren't attacking the paint more than the Suns did in Game 1.

Tonight was different because the Bucks primarily sat Lopez and GIannis in the paint and the Suns shot well from 3.

And BTW - an NBA Finals team not committing a single foul for nearly 17 minutes in a half? You wanna try to explain that one?

Not true, and it's easy to show that. I point you to shot charts that are readily available.

You called this game a non-issue, interestingly when the Bucks had significant FT advantage but cry bloody murder when the FT difference is virtually identical in G1.

Whatever guy

Go ahead and look at how I "cried bloody murder" after game one. Search my posts, then have some class. And you're ACTUALLY a moderator? Embarrassing. You're trying to start an argument where there is none. I've argued about certain things, officiating is NOT one of them. Grow up.

GIannis Had a great individual game, what I feared when he returned seam to happen. The offense would become one dimensional with guys whom previously scored, basically just stood around and watched. The look on this coach’s face is familiar, he basically watched with little “in game” adjustments.

I was hoping the Bucks would duplicate the scoring distribution displayed in the last two “Hawks” game and just add GIannis. Lopez is timid when he’s not involved early or sparingly. I will excuse Middleton and just have no comment on Holiday.

The free throw disparity tonight had nothing to do with favorable calls going the bucks way. Outside of giannis the rest of the team shot 5 free throws. The suns didn't even attempt to guard giannis, they would just foul him and send him to the line.

The suns shot 40 3s and still went to the line 14x. There were multiple calls that went the suns way (cp3 pushing his teammate into the bucks, foul called on bucks. Suns running thru the defender (think this was Payne?) Foul called on bucks. A few more as well).

Overall it wasn't a terrible ref game, but it was definitely a little skewed toward phx.

This looks like another series where the Bucks don't belong... Which means that the Suns need to be careful next game because frustration causes some lesser disciplined teams to seek out cheap shots to try and give themselves a fighting chance...

When the saltiest humans in the universe will start mistaking bad luck for malicious intent...

Personally I was expecting to watch Thanasis in the rotation in the second game because of his intensity and ability to switch and defend multiple positions.

Is he that bad that does not deserve any minute?

[John Murdoch]

Less Lopez ..Bud should still get fired regardless of the finals appearance

[Froob]

Giannis going to need to play the whole game if it’s close and take less 3s. Might have won if he played more minutes.

Stop it, the NBA is clearly rigging the series in favour of big market, ratings magnet Phoenix.
