Suns in 5

Suns in 6 now. Was 7.

 

[Peter]

Bucks in 7. They aren’t even close to their best ball yet but need to figure it out quick in Milwaukee.

Phoenix was 20 of 40 from behind the stripe. Pretty sure that's not sustainable.

PRETTY sure.........

Abdul sighting! going into the locker room after the game. I think he plays game 3. Did he play at all tonight?

It's Abdel

Suns in 5.

Giannis was as good as he's going to be. Middleton playing better will get the Bucks one win in Milwaukee but that's it.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Suns in 4. I think if Milwaukee was going to make any noise in this series they needed to win last night.

Go Nader and Suns, would love to see another Cyclone get a ring

Anyone watching USA vs Nigeria?

US starting slow.

 

[JP4CY]

If you like bball this has been a good game.
Also, Mike Brown is the coach of Nigeria.

I'm posting this to reverse the jinx. After the Suns won Game 2, my instinct told me Scott Foster would be officiating in Game 3 and it turns out to be true. CP3 is 0-11 in the playoffs when Scott Foster is one of the refs. The last time when CP3's team won a playoff game when Scott Foster was the ref, it was the WCF Game 2 Suns vs Clippers. However, CP3 didn't play due to Covid so the streak is still alive. I hope he breaks it in tonight's game and the Suns go up 3-0.

And even that win needed the valley opp miracle.

If Torrey Craig is out tonight, Nader maybe called on to play some decent minutes tonight.

I hope Craig is OK, just a little sore and that Abdel get more minutes!!!

Slow motion doesn't do that collision with Giannis justice. Giannis was going to the rack a hundred mph and Craig sacrificed himself. I'm glad he wasn't seriously injured!

Is Craig that much better than Nader or are they about equal (Nader coming off knee injury also)?

Im not rooting for anyone to be injured but I thought the same thing as soon as Craig went down.

Good to hear. The collision itself was violent but I didn't see anything that looked bad from injury perspective.

DEANDRE AYTON
Deandre Ayton having a game so far. Looked him up. Just a baby, only 22 y/o!

For all the **** Giannis has gotten for free throws, he’s not really shooting them at a worse percentage than the rest of the bucks this series.

No he's just awful at free throws

I thought Phoenix had weathered the storm. Time to just mail this in and get ready for game 4.
