Officials really are terrible. It’s pathetic.

They also missed Giannis keeping one foot in bounds as he inbounded the ball during the last minute where they called that weak foul on the Chris Paul-Cam Johnson double team.  Giannis had one foot fully over the line the whole time.

So many bad calls tonight.

lol at all the Cs fan rooting for Giannis to win. These were the same fans telling Ainge to wait for LeBron to leave before the Cs made a push. I guess the Cs will have to wait for Giannis to be done before they make a push. How old is Giannis again?

Go Suns.

Great effort by the Bucks, but the Suns self destructed in the last 6 minutes. Watching Booker and that Suns team down the stretch gave me flashbacks of this year's Celtics team.

omg down the stretch there were multiple potential game-changing bad calls.
the NBA needs to really review that 4th quarter and do better.
The Booker no-call-wrap up in itself would have been his 6th foul. 

It was shocking how bad it was.

Good.  I would have hated to see it he Suns win due to blatant cheating by the officials.
Would've left an incredibly sour taste in my mouth. Hope the remaining games are as close as this one, minus the corrupt officiating
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

Middleton and Giannis played really well in the last 7-8 minutes of the 4th.  After Booker was sitting after his 5th foul he never really got back on track.

Great game.  Who cares who wins the series, just have it go to 7 games and let the chips fall.

Go Suns.
The Bucks have a good, but not great team around Giannis.  However, if they don't win this year or next year the liklihood of Giannis asking out increases significantly and if he does that he will almost certainly team up with a real legit top 5 to top 10 talent.  If that happens, Boston will not win a title until Giannis retires.  If the Bucks win though, then Giannis really has no reason to leave and Milwaukee can't really upgrade Middleton or Holiday, so the Bucks will be beatable.  Tough, but not unbeatable. 

If Cleveland wasn't so incompetent then Lebron never goes to Miami and the conference would have been much more wide open. 
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

How is the sensational block of all time not a goal tending?

It's also why team USA is struggling in international play. They are so used to getting away with everything and getting calls whenever they look at the refs that they just don't know how to play with normal officials anymore.

Have you ever thought that Giannis could move to Cs if he fails in MIL….or that other stars might join him in MIL?  Giannis will be as satisfied with one ring as LeBron was when he got one.

How could it have been? It was on a dunk attempt and didn't look above the cylinder anyway

Credit to Giannis, Middleton and Crowder down the stretch.

Chris Paul had some bad  turnovers and fell down in a couple of key moments in the last few minutes, and Booker missed a couple of layups and then forced some bad shots. Uncharacteristic play by the Suns under pressure.

I don’t know the rule…so I asked the question. Ayton gathered the pass over his head and swung it downwards for a dunk before Giannis tipped it out ….what is the goal tending rule?
