Just go out there and win. Leave nothing to chance of ref interference.

Take it to game 7 and bring it home!

I have no idea the last time I was this anxious about a sports event. Probably never. Today is going to be a long day.
I don't really feel anxious about this game right now. I think I was 10x more anxious before Game 5 because that felt like the pivotal game to me. I was crushed after the Game 5 loss. I haven't given up yet, but I feel like we have about a 10-20% chance of winning the series at this point, so I won't be devastated if we lose tonight. I am already making peace with whatever will come. If we somehow can get a win tonight, then I will be extremely pumped and will be 100x as anxious before Game 7.

I'm not at all saying that I am just assuming we'll lose tonight. I really do think there are valid reasons to be hopeful that Game 5 was an aberration and that Milwaukee can't match that level of extreme performance again. But I don't want to set myself up to be heartbroken. I am going to think of any Game 6 victory as a bonus, an overachievement by our Suns.
Bolded part 1: I don’t have a choice but to relax and hope for the best. I’ve made my peace. If the Bucks win tonight, they deserve it. They were the better team when it mattered. That being said, hoping beyond hope that we get the Bucks back on the plane to Phoenix.

Bolded part 2: Too soon, Marty!!!

THAT should be on the Suns locker room wall. Maybe we can superimpose one of those shirts on Giannis.

The one thing you don't want in this game is a lead. I've seen it way too many times, where the team down 3-2 takes a big lead in Game 6 and ends up losing. You don't want to be down too big either, but you want to keep it close and play hard the whole game, so you don't start to feel the pressure of the season slipping away as you lose your lead.

The classic example of this is Game 6 of the 2006 WCF, when the Suns had an 18-point lead midway through the 2nd quarter and a 15-point lead midway through the 3rd quarter, at home, and lost.

The Larry O'Brein and official NBA champions hats and t-shirts will be in the arena.

The Suns have bigger problems if they need knock off pre-made Bucks NBA Championship t-shirts to motivate them.

I'm expecting the Suns to lose this game, so it'll probably be one of the least stressful games of the playoffs. I just hope it's competitive and nothing dumb happens. No stupid dangerous fouls or ejections, please.

We saw that in the last game. Up huge early in the first and got destroyed in the second.

65,000 outside the arena wanting to party. Let’s not let that happen.

Book and Paul both come into the arena wearing all black. They are in killer mode.

this. if it takes merch to motivate them, they don't deserve to win. they will be motivated by pride.

The media in the pregame show sucking off the Bucks the whole time is literally making my stomach hurt.

It’d be a shame if Jalen Rose toppled over that railing…a damn shame 🙄

All the pregame guys at the game picked the Bucks to the excitement of the Bucks crowd. The media has picked the Bucks. They printed the shirts already. They already booked the fat lady.

The only people standing in the way of all that is the Suns. Do they go quietly in the night or do they ruin all their plans?
