And yeah, I prefer watching it at a bar or at the Deer District. Never been a big sporting event guy in the sense that I need to be present in the arena.

350 each...so that’s better than I paid for wiz first round but I want to actually sit in decent seats...rather be outside then in nose bleeds....I was going to come to it Milwaukee but didn’t see anything below 730...and I checked...


I don't think there's any bad seats at Fiserv (besides weird angles near the corner). It's a cozy arena. 3000 fewer seats than the Wizards arena

Also of note from Game 4 was the Bucks won the Second Chance Point category 19-7. That and the Assist/Turnover margin seemed like the differences tonight.

As far as I'm concerned Giannis just surpassed Kevin Durant. He's so robust and Shaq-like. He's also a Lebronesque leader of men. On top of that he's got a humble, terrific personality. He's a lot more personable and strictly business I like him above Embiid. Joel is the one player physically close. GA is just tougher and steadier under duress, He's more athletic than more skilled Jokic and Doncic.

Greek Freak would be my 1st pick of all players.

The most amusing part of this game for me as a Bucks fan aside from the game is Chance the Rapper being interviewed by local news for a post-game wrap up and thoughts on Game 5 strategy.

So if I get 2 for a reasonable price I should come through huh? Thanks

What this means is that Vegas currently (after Game 4) thinks the Suns are going to win in 7 games.

Pat is the hero this game... Jrue is lost on offense again, Middleton inefficient and a lot bad decisions too...
The Bucks margin for error was so big in this game, basically dominant the offensive glass and TO differential
CP3's disappearing acting did not help the Suns either, another choke performance... think he might be injured at the end...
Hi Clutchie, I love you... :kiss

As much as it looked like the Bucks benefited from the calls, those easy layups (Booker drive and a couple of gimmes from Ayton), the Chris Paul turnover, Suns had a legit chance to win this... and if they lose this series, they are going to look back at this Game 4 choke...

The Bucks have had the benefit of the whistle most of these series so I don't think Bucks fans have any right to complain about favorable calls.


Nope.


Game 4
Bucks 24-29
Suns 16-19

Game 3
Suns 11-16
Bucks 20-26

Nope proved you wrong here, stats don't lie as you can clearly see Bucks got the benefit of the whistle the last two games.

Suns should have won this one and I'm not blaming this loss on that but it's ridiculous to think that the Bucks haven't had the benefit of the calls the last two games.

You might not understand basketball. What the offensive team does is the biggest determinant of fouls. The bucks drive to the basket relentlessly and the suns flop egregiously.
Look at the replay of all the games objectively. If you don't think Booker got 6 gifts and Middleton got raped 6 times with no call, you might need to reconsider your objectivity.

Is anyone else capable of making that Giannis Block? Now or ever? Remember he was guarding the passer then blocked a 7 footer ——I want to see the sports science on that

They only absurd flop was the connaughton foul on Crowder. Otherwise crowder was hit in the face eat time. And tucker did hit the hand, can dispute if it was a foul but there is contact.

The term flop gets overused.
