I love Cam Payne, but the bucks length adds just enough difficulty to his interior game to make it too tough for him.

Payne a bright spot so far. He's playing with some juice.

No excuses. That second quarter could very possibly have lost the series.

I don't know if it's scheme or what but Bridges can't guard Middleton. Johnson just does a better job at this point.

DA is back to coasting which is great timing for us. CP still seems to hesitant to look for his middy when it's there. He needs to be looking for his shot damn near every time down.

It’s better they shot the lights out in the 2nd and not the 4th .. but the bucks are still looking like favourites.

Paul has to fire and get ayton to fire otherwise it’s all over.

13-1 when leading at halftime. 1-5 when tied or losing.

Again, that second quarter will haunt us.

My expert analysis from the arena: 1st quarter good, 2nd quarter bad.

Bridges was great on him in the first quarter. Jrue Holiday's ability to not miss a shot is more of a problem.

Bucks seem to have all the momentum right now and they play like the better team, on both sides of the floor - today. Their better ball movement on offense makes us over-help and collapse. This leads to exhaustion and us not wearing them out defensively. It should be the other way around, obviously.

We had a few friendly whistles in the first but not so much in the second. This one will be tough to win anyway but I feel we do not stand a chance if we cannot get some balanced scoring and an evenly called game.

I am nervous for today and the series as a whole because it feels like our team somewhat lost a bit of that killer mentality somehow, ...

The Bucks have more scorers than we do. I kind of want to see more Payne, maybe a smaller lineup of CP, Payne, Book, Cam/Jae/Torrey, DA. We add a another scorer and creator with Payne which might help some of the pressure CP is seeing. Doubt Monty tries anything new tho. But all of their guys have gotten off at some point tonight and our defense has been pretty good.

Well, bucks are hot. This might get ugly if we can't figure out how to stop them

Well...looking like Bucks in 6 right about now. We'll see how deep the Suns can dig into their hearts and what they're made of.

We can’t win if they shoot like this - two solid quarters of them being what feels like shooting 100% from the field is nuts

The Holiday steal on Book is Book's own fault. He and CP do that shit all the time and it always feels like it's going to be a TO or bad possession. It's Game 5 of the Finals. They should be attacking.
