Hope Suns are calling the league office today and asking if they would have challenged several plays would the calls have changed .... I would also ask for clarification that if a Milwaukee Buck steps on a defender's foot (defender is in natural defensive position) why isn't it a no call or traveling on Milwaukee ?? This happened at least 3-4 times last night -- I am concerned a bit now that the Suns depth is eroding and referee Scott Foster is going to ref one of the games in Milwaukee. I GUARATNEE the game Scott Foster refs is the game Ayton ends up the evening with 5 fouls (having to sit a few times forcing Frank the Tank into action) or he fouls out.
It seemed every time a Sun hit the floor (no call) and every time a Buck hit the floor it was a foul -- even when All-Star/HOF Chris Paul is standing his ground for a full 2 seconds and Giannis runs into him that a foul is called on HOF CP3.
P.S. I am a little concerned about Torrey Craig's injury and the depth is eroding ... good thing both games in "beer town" are every 3rd day as the starters for Suns will be logging more minutes. Last night CP3 was "gassed" at end of game which caused a couple bad TO's.

Nice game last night. It showed that even when Giannis was playing at a high level, the Suns still beat them by double digits. They basically allowed him to go off but clamped down on the rest of the team. Really good strategy. Bridges played big time and another example of how well the Suns are as a TEAM... These other teams like the Clippers and Lakers try to build an all star team and end up being top heavy relying on a couple of star players with scrub players surrounding them were the Suns have a couple of all star caliber players, but they also have really good role players that, as we have seen throughout the playoffs, can step it up and pick up the slack. Bridges, Payne, Crawford etc. Bucks have the same type of team, problem is so far their role players have played flat. This series is far from over, Suns did what they were suppose to do, hold home court. Now its the Bucks turn to hold down their home court, the pressure is back on the Bucks. The one thing I am worried about is injuries to the role players. Sarik down and now Craig, they are very thin at the front line position.

I agree it’s the depth of this Suns team that has us a step above teams with guys like LeBron, the league MVP, and Giannis. It was incredible to Giannis dominate like he did for stretched last night, yet be unable to close the gap on the Suns. It reminded me of Jordan before Pippin, when he would put up 43 against the Celtics, Knicks or Pistons yet the Bulls would lose. Ya have to have your John Paxton’s, Will Purdue’s, Steve Kerr’s, Tony Kukoc’s and Luc Longley’s. |

If we win does the board finally get a skinny jeans picture? Or maybe a white suit like Booker showed up in yesterday? Go Suns! |

I don't care if he gets 50, just keep him from getting other guys involved. He's also just coming off an injury, so if he does most the work, he will eventually wear down. |

Bucks are still dangerous and now at home for games #3 and #4. If they somehow figure out the Suns D and take #3, they will be super aggressive at #4, going all in to even the series and claim momentum. The Bucks also know that the Suns win on the road. So psychologically, the odds greatly favor the Suns to take the next 2 games and the Championship in a 4-game sweep.
The Bucks would never say it, but they have to feel now that they went as far as they could by winning the NBA East Conference crown in 2021.

Yep. There was a Clippers game where I felt the league did everything they could to extend the series. The Suns just didn’t let it happen. Let’s hope this is a night the Suns refuse to bend to the will of the NBA front office. |

Man I loved that. |
