Here's my transcript of Monty's speech:

"Look, this, this is the deal. One: you're getting back in transition, you don't have Giannis, find a man, and be a guard. Two, look at me, you set a high level for yourself. That's why you're down. That's great. And now go reach that level. Okay? And you can reach it with force. It doesn't have to be stats all the time. Go dominate the game with force. Okay? Because you've set a high level for yourself. Go dominate the game with force. Let's go."

As Monty always says that he tells his guys: "I'm not calling you out, I'm calling you up."

This team has already tied for the best outcome by any suns team ever. Now we go where no Suns team has gone before.

A must-listen, Jerry Colangelo with Bickley and Marotta: https://arizonasports.com/category/podc ... 26+Marotta

Jerry says Game 5 is the only game he can attend. Not to put pressure on the team or anything. :P

We should remember not only everything Jerry did for this franchise, but the fact that Robert Sarver asked for his advice on the hiring of Monty Williams, and Jerry told him to hire him. It would be so great if we could win it in 5 and Robert invites Jerry up on the stage.
Sorry, but we’re not going to lose one in Milwaukee just so Colangelo can see us win it all at home. I mean, I understand he’s The Godfather and all but we’re not going to mess around on his behest.

Great win. Can't ever be too excited for a win in The Finals. But...

This is what they should've done. Now the real challenge of getting at least one win in Milwaukee begins.
There is NO reason to stop at one. NONE!

Couldn’t hear that in the sports bar. What an amazing moment between Williams and Ayton. I loved how Monty grabbed his hand at the beginning and at the end and how he told him to look at him in the middle. What a leader of men Williams is. Fantastic moment. And the results matched it.

Loved that offensive possession with the passing, but this was by far the most important sequence of the game:

That sequence was unbelievable. Great play on the offensive glass, very important 3 by CP, great block by DA and save by Mikal and another 2 points by Mikal at the other end. I think it really broke the Bucks.

Monty's "storm of aggression" description of the Bucks and our 2nd qtr defense stepping up is all pretty accurate. The Bucks were attacking every play, leading to offensive rebounds and extra possessions in the 1st qtr. If they could maintain that for 48 minutes, they'd be a different team. But they went away from it, Giannis started ISOing and no one else could find a rhythm for them.

We really have a pretty complete, pick-your-poison type of team. Help in the midrange/paint and risk letting Jae, Mikal, Cam knock down 3s. Stay out on shooters, CP and Book can work the midrange. Cover the 3 and midrange and DA is open at the rim. Just tough to guard everything.

The Clippers did a better job of guarding us to take everything away of anyone in the Playoffs.

I've been thinking that the Clips have been out toughest opponent so far. I think the refs let them get away with a lot of "physical" play but really just weren't calling a lot of fouls. That's their identity and style so they were given a lot of slack. Playoffs are about matchups and they just matched up well with us.
