Suns are in trouble right now. The Suns won the 1st 2 games with great ball movement, pushing the pace and a contribution from everyone. Booker is player hero ball, right now and Ayton and Bridges ain't getting many opportunities.

Giannis!

The media keeps blaming CP3 though. Monty already benched Booker once for playing bad but they are limited in what they can do.

Though part of that is the Bucks defensively guard the whole Sun’s team close, and use length to deflect the ball. It completely interrupted the Suns ball movement. The bucks defense is allowing Booker to play hero ball.

Also defensively the Suns are having to choose their poison between stopping a Giannis drive or guarding the open 3pt shooters around him. Giannis looks like he is playing out of his mind, but the Sun don’t have a defensive back up Center to try and slow Giannis down 1on1. Kaminsky is a horrible basketball player so if Ayton fouls out they’ll basically have no center and loose even worse. So it makes it harder for Ayton to play physical defense on Giannis.

Next game they will have to decide if they want Ayton to be overall more physical or not. I think they should because without him challenging Giannis on both side of the court, the Suns will lose anyway.

The algorithm gives and the algorithm takes away

What's with the ref's letting Booker get away with completely blatant fouls in the last 2 mins? Once again he put's his arm right around someones back (Middleton), hand on their hips and this time adds a simultaneous swipe to the balls-no call! Could have really swung the game.

If anything, it shows why he's going to get max. Even players you think should be 1b get max level contracts.

Disagree. Without Middleton Bucks would not be as successful as they have been this year. Without Randle Knicks would be exactly what they were before. A joke. Middleton was a big part in turning the series around with his 35 and 15. That's what you want from a max. Something Randle is capable of.

Congrats to Middleton and Giannis for reaching the ECF.

Middleton once again proving to be a MAX player.

I think that was more ESL type thing. He couldn't explain exactly what he meant. Someone suggested "master it" and he agreed.

I’ve seen enough of Booker trying to force contact. And Paul exaggerating contact. I’m sick of that ****.

Bucks and the Freak all the way!

What an incredible performance in these finals by Giannis. I thought his season was over after the knee injury. Instead he played the best baskebtall of his career. Amazing. Well deserved.

I started the finals happy for both teams and not caring who won but by midway Giannis won me over and I wanted him to win. So now I am a happy camper.
