no one other than Giannis and Portis has shown up on offense for the Bucks.
the rest of the team is 6/28 from the field.  I am not sure that is going to get it done.

If Middleton gives them one good quarter, the Bucks win this.

Booker has been getting a lot of hype this year and I’m a fan of his game, but I still think I’d rather have Jaylen Brown.
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

I sometimes forget just how huge Brook Lopez is. Going up for that jam reminded me

Enjoying the series but hope Giannis closes out tonight.  He seems like a genuinely good person and representative for small market success.

Giannis like: "Who says I can't hit free throws?"

Suns needed that drive and FT from Booker.  Felt like the game may have been getting away from them.  I mean they let Lopez score 6 straight points.  That should never happen.

Imagine if Ben Simmons put in the work Giannis has.

Portis just 'fived' Giannis after he busted his hump in an attempt to block an open court lay-up.  That's championship stuff.

That was a clear foul by Booker. 2 FTs. Come on.

They've called some really cheap fouls and then let elbows to the head go uncalled.  Just an awful game from the officials.  It is going both ways, but still should be better.

That was offensive on Booker. Pretty obvious one too.

Whenever that off hand goes extended, that's an offensive foul. Guys like to get close and hide the push off but Booker didn't even do that. He blatantly held off Portis with that right hand.

Terrible call.

Did Van Gundy really just say that the offensive efficiency is down because of "all the contact" that offensive players have to play through now? Really, Van Gundy? The game is oriented towards the offense more than it has ever been in the history of the league with tons of contact called as illegal now when it didn't used to be.

If anything, that was offensive contact, not defensive contact.
