    Tired of him being an announcer. It sucks that he is part of the A team since he will be calling all these games for the foreseeable future.

    I have no skin in the game. these games have been very entertaining. Giannis making some pretty fantastic plays is making me hate him less (most of my hatred of players stems from people hating on Harden as a rocket anyway). This dude's offense is putrid, but I can't knock this dude's effort; he didn't quit.

    can’t count on CP3 being that terrible again…maybe if it was 18-19, but not these days

    he’ll bounce back

    Jrue Holiday on the other hand…bricking jumpers left and right and missing the easiest of layups…it’s hard to watch

    Middleton might not be their best but certainly most important player on offense

    If the Bucks win the series, this is the game Phoenix points to and says this is the point we lost it.

    I would be absolutely furious with my team if I was the Suns coach.

    What is the saying - you can't win a game in the first quarter, but you can lose one?

    The Suns definitely lost that game in the first quarter.

    Miss after miss after miss the Bucks did all they could to let Phoenix put their foot on the throat and take a commanding lead out of the gate to silence the crowd and suck all the energy out of the Bucks.

    Instead they couldn't finish off defensive possessions. Plays that should have resulted in a Milwaukee turnover resulted in lucky and undeserved shots keeping them close.

    When the Bucks had 14 points, 7 of them were off lucky plays that they capitalised on the Suns not closing out possessions defensively and securing the ball.

    .... yet that same mental lapse continued throughout the entire game for the Suns.

    Even with the horrendous officiating tonight - one blatant call in favour of the Suns - quite a fair few more in favour of the Bucks - I wouldn't even say that came close to deciding the game.

    The Suns have no one but themselves to blame for losing this game, and quite possibly the series.

    yeah all these ISO's by CP3 need to go.. what are they even doing? lol

    Suns can demolish these guys with CP3 being a regular guy.

    This has been the most atrociously reffed Finals since Miami-Dallas back in the day.

    If giannis and middleton play well he doesn't have to. The suns are very good but not great.

    Booker didn't look like he could miss, but after sitting for the 5th foul, coming back, his rhythm was gone.

    Why are games so stretched out? Cp3 still playing bad with all this rest between games? Not a good sign

    I’ve been a Giannis doubter for years, but he’s winning me over in these Finals. No apologies, no messing around the perimeter; he’s using every bit of his unique physical gifts to turn this around for Milwaukee. His block on Ayton will be on highlights for a long time.

    Jrue and the Bucks have Chris Paul in jail. Looking like he did we when played the Warriors his last year here when we all thought he was washed. He better figure something out. This may be his last best chance to finally win a championship. I just don’t see the Suns making a repeat appearance.
