The Suns may have reserve forward Torrey Craig available as he's listed as probable after suffering a right knee contusion in Game 2 on a play when he took a charge against Antetokounmpo late in the third quarter and needed help to leave the court.

I was watching some of the media availability sessions on NBATV and I could see Craig out on the court with his leg wrapped when they were interviewing Bridges courtside.

I have a bad feeling this is going to be a Scott Foster game. We’ll find out in the morning.

I think there will be a lot of bad breaks in this game. It should be expected.

But this Suns team has done some wild things in the past two months, so who knows?

Win this game and hopefully Scott foster is the close out game and we win that too to exorcise all demons

Yeah, I think this is the Bucks' best chance to get a win. Home crowd, ton of adrenaline in their veins, a must-win game for them to have any real chance in the series. I think it'll be really hard to match the intensity they're going to bring tonight.

Calling it now: Suns lose tonight, and Game 4 after Payne and another Suns get a 1 game suspension for picking up techs in game 3.

If we score more points than the Bucks, Foster won't matter. It's science.

Given the many calls and non-calls over a game and how they usually affect momentum, it is incredibly hard to overcome one-sided refereeing. That is one of the few aspect where basketball stinks compared to sports like soccer.

It's sad but I feel like the league does this on purpose because they want the Finals to be a close series. Probably good for the causal fan (majority of people watching) but bad for the sport and the integrity of the league.

Mental note to self: If these Finals turn out to break my heart because of bad officiating, I am going to move away from following the league (at least for some time).

Still watching the game and hoping for the best

Go Suns!

Pretty sure they would have to pick up multiple techs to be suspended.

My prediction for the game is the Bucks jump out to an early big lead and the Sun battle all game to overcome it but can never get over the hump. But they pull within 2 points in the final seconds and CP3 makes a 3 at the buzzer to clinch it

We're exorcising all demons this year. The Scott Foster curse comes to an end tonight.
