Not a bad first game. Phoenix crowd was epicly loud. Love seeing that again.

I still think Giannis wears down quickly this series. They need to steal G2 in Phoenix and win G3 at home.

Middleton out of his mind. Yet so was Ayton, CP3 and Booker.

Bucks went back to Middleton and Jrue not being able to have good games together in this one. This was pretty true when Giannis was playing as well. Jrue is the one who mostly disappears though.

Suns pulled away in the 2nd and never really looked back. Bucks did get it to 9 points I think before the Suns pulled away again.

Paul played utterly locked in, and Ayton joined a club that only employee Bill Russell/Wilt/Kareem with his 20 + pts / 15+ reb / 80%+ FG% in a Finals game.

Ayton though is prob never going to join the club and be those guys, but a good club to be a part of.

I don't really feel like Milwaukee needs to win G2.. obviously if they lose G2, they need to win 3 and 4. Milwaukee has always been a better home team.

If Milwaukee insists on switching every screen, CP3 and Booker are going to eat them alive. I guess we'll see if Bud makes game to game adjustments well enough as it's clear he doesn't adjust in game

He generally has made game to game adjustments.

I can't believe the Bucks gave Jrue Holiday all that money.

Middleton disappeared this game too. If one of them showed up in G2, Bucks may have won.

Hopefully home court is an advantage for Milwaukee and they can tie this series, making it interesting.

Game 4 was by far the best game, still didn't quite go down to the wire.

I dunno why refs wouldn't foul out Booker either lol.

Game 5 was very enjoyable. This series has been enjoyable...still think Giannis should be MVP....he is the Shaq of this generation.

You think Giannis should have been MVP this year? Or you mean Finals MVP?

Even though they're our division rivals, I really want Milwaukee to win.

3 reasons.

1. I don't care much for Chris Paul and his flopping. It really annoys me, so I got in the habit of rooting against him.
2. I like rooting for smaller market teams when the teams I like aren't in it. It's been like 50 years since Milwaukee won a title for a reason. Players don't want to be there. So it'd be nice to see them win, since they probably won't win it again for a very long time.
3. Shows that loyalty can still pay off. Giannis didn't have to return and commit long term, but he did. Winning would be a sweet reward, and maybe, just maybe it may convince other superstar players to be more patient with their teams through the process. Doubtful... but meh.
