NBA Finals: Milwaukee Bucks vs. Phoenix Suns, Part 2 | Series tied at 2

[buckboy]

NBA Gametime crew said there were like 25,000 fans out on the streets outside the arena after the game (in the "Deer District", I think it's called).

During the game.

I find it impossible to believe that Jrue Holiday, playing as amazing defense as he has been...has committed just ONE foul in the last two games. It must be lovely to hack at guys and chase them off and bump them with the peace of mind knowing you won’t get a foul called on you. Not calling any fouls on Holiday has low key been the turning point of the series.

Booker:

42 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 9 fouls.

Bucks won Fast Break Points tonight 15-0. Wow.

The Bucks are bigger and they grind.

I think Monty Williams is a tremendous coach but I think Jalen Smith should've got some time if for nothing more than energy. He can run and finish.

Rewatching the game and it’s just amazing what booker got allowed with for both 6 and 7 fouls. Yikes. You have van gundy questioning them both and you know they are absolute fouls. What a joke.

Damn I didn't realize that. Pretty perplexing. Meanwhile you have Bucks fans crying about Booker. Yes that was a foul by Booker but if we're being honest he shouldn't have picked up that 5th foul to begin with. That changed the game for the Suns so if we're going to criticize the refs for the non call let's criticize them for calling a foul on a routine box out from Booker.

Everyone writing Milwaukee off and why?

Because Phoenix protected home court and did what they were supposed and expected to do?

Which was protect home court advantage?

There is 0.00% chance the Suns win games 3 or 4.

Series is going back 2-2.

Milwaukee 4-2 (in SIX (6).

I tried warning all of you Phoenix Suns fans but you didn't want to listen to me. All you wanted to do was mock and attack me. Joke is now on you guys.

Phoenix is done. Stick a fork in them.

Milwaukee now has all the confidence and momentum in the world (in comparison to Phoenix who is mentally done for).

Milwaukee in 6 4-2 and Bucks will CELEBRATE in MILWAUKEE.

Monty is the only likeable guy in that Suns team

Ayton seems pretty nice.

Because he doesn't flop like the rest of his teammates imo.

Agreed. I know when I see young teams fold mentally. The Suns are done.

Even the best defenders foul. It happens. A blind eye is being turned on Jrue here. He’s getting away with murder and look what it’s done to Paul.

Body check was clear as day on that rebounding opportunity dude.

Right? Lowered his shoulder to really put some force into it.

Over 4 games Giannis has had 55 free throw attempts to his 75 shots attempted…

But yeah Booker is the one getting all the foul calls

[GiannisAnte34]

why do most Raps fans have such sour grapes about the Bucks? such a bizarre thing to me

[coastalmarker99]

Giannis when he attacks and scores:

No skill, no bag just 7 ft running and dunking

Giannis when he shoots jumpers:

This man sucks, play to his strengths and attack.

Which is it?


As the Suns' players are clearly fouling him when he decides to put his head down and drive to the rim.

[ForeverTFC]

All the momentum is with the Bucks right now, not because they won this game but because of how they won this game. Suns were the team that looked like deer in the headlights there.

If I had to bet one a team right now, it would be the Bucks. I felt like the Bucks left PHX with belief that they could win this series. I don't feel that with the Suns. This is giving me the same vibes as when the Raptors backdoor swept the Bucks in 2019.

In fairess, fouling the crap out of Giannis seems to be the primary defensive strategy on him for the Suns.

The Suns never did anything special to begin with. All they did was protect home court advantage. Which is what they were supposed to do. Knicks fans on my NY forum were frustrating me pretending as if the Series was "over" as if they never watched my Knicks of the 90's during Playoff wars.

Not only are the Suns done mentally but Milwaukee just stole all momentum and will head into Phoenix fired up and on a mission to destroy. Suns won't be able to match their intensity, will come out flat and be down @ the half by 15+ and then it's game. Set. Match.

I want this series to go 7. It's already been a classic. 7 games would make it legendary but unfortunately it's over in 6. The Greek Freak and Middleton are on a different level and CP3 is pretty much finished.

Chris Paul was great in game 1 but @ 36 this series has already taken a toll on him he looked awful and slow tonight and the pressure of ending up like Melo with no rings and not his friends Wade/LeBron is mentally playing tricks on him.

[bamheat]

Can someone give me a run down of what happened? I work night shifts and just woke up to my friends saying the refs rigged it so the Bucks would win.
