Probably safe to say that torn tendons in both hands isn’t helping CP3 as he is missing too many shots and turning the ball over a lot. Highly uncharacteristic of him. If Foster is officiating game 5 Chris Paul should sit it out. The only time Suns have won with Foster officiating was when CP3 wasn’t playing.

Doom and gloom time my friends. Another chance in my lifetime to see a pro championship fading away... No doom and gloom...we still got this |

Doom and gloom time my friends. Another chance in my lifetime to see a pro championship fading away... Ghosts of playoff pasts are lurking ... CP3 with torn tendons in hand(s) and Booker's nose which Jrue H. targeted in Game 3. Today though the attention to any detail was missing by DA and of course turnovers - turnovers - turnovers ... the one thing proven is Bridges being left off the all-defensive teams was not a mistake. |

The Suns looked and acted tired in the 4th Qtr last night. The T/O with 27 seconds to go was clearly a fatigue T/O. That T/O and follow-on a layup gave the Bucks a 4-pt advantage and ultimately the thin cushion needed to run out the clock and gain the series tying win.
The many Suns turnovers all night told me that Suns players minds and bodies were not in sync. The bench was no help either. The Bucks wanted game #4 more than the Suns wanted it and worked hardest for 48 minutes.
Who wants game 5 the most? Suns or Bucks? I'm pulling for the Suns to take home the Obrien. But, but the Bucks are running hot and hard now and MO is a big Suns problem.

The Bucks in the playoffs are now 5-6 on the road and 11-1 at home while the Suns are 8-2 at home and 6-4 on the road. |

I rooted for some ABA teams and players prior to the merger many decades ago. I lost count of all the playoff games watched including some thrillers. The most fun finals games are the Game 7 contests. Every hit and missed play is critical to the game outcome. If the Suns-Bucks do go to Game 7, be ready for lots of sweat, blood, and emotion. Good luck at Game 5 on Saturday night, Suns fans! The Bucks are fired up now. |

If CP3 is hurting and he looks "off" Saturday like he did this past Wednesday, then Monte W. is going to need to look at this lineup for at least 18-20 minutes: - C - Ayton
- PF - Crowder
- SF - Craig/Bridges
- SG - Cam Johnson - he needs to play 26-30 minutes on Saturday either at SG or SF.
- PG - Devon Booker (Monty needs to take a page on how Phil J. rested MJ by sitting him with 1;30 to go in the 1st and 3rd qtr and bringing him back in at the 10 -10:30minute mark of the 2nd & 4th qtrs) -- with the long TV timeouts between qtrs this gives Booker in real time about 10 minutes of rest.
If CP3 can't be depended on for more than 1/2 the game this lineup with the ability to move Craig to PF when Crowder needs a breather provides more athleticism to get out to the 3-point line to defend against the 3 ... though I am hoping the Suns sag off of Jrue H. from 3-pt line and concentrate on Middleton/Connaughton only.
The Bucks in 4th qtr of Game 4 had success with Middleton-Giannis and playing a 2-man game so I hope the Suns coaches are stressing today in practice defending that offensive set of the Bucks though Middleton doesn't shoot as well on the road.

Foster is NOT doing Game 5 and hopefully he won’t be doing game 7 if necessary. |

This is the Suns team we all know. 32-16 with less than 3 minutes to go in 1st. Looking really good.

The Suns have gone from on fire to cold as ice. Up by 16 to up by 3 in the 2nd.
