Seeing Hardaway and Nick the Brick on there is funny - it’s how I ended up supporting the suns as was a Hardaway fan boy and came over here when he did.


Yeah yeah I know …


Brick missed 4 ft’s in a row right at the end of the game when any one of them would have iced it over Hakeem’s Rockets … who ended up winning the series 4-0, so it probably would have made no difference anyway.

It is so satisfying to win as well as they did with Giannis playing as well as he did.

1 game down.

Crowder just gets hot - if we win and he misses l, like today, then all good as he’ll get his eventually.

Go Suns.
I think he shoots the ball too damn quick. If he took 1 second longer to set up he'd hit 15% more of his shots.
When he misses he misses badly, when he’s on he’s on .. I’m happy rolling with his punches.

And he’s got an ice man mentality, so feel like if we absolutely need him to hit he’ll hit.

And he's a great, great defender. He brings a poise to this team that's invaluable.

Yessssssir

3 more to go!!!

Also is it weird how much coverage and mentions they’re giving to Milwaukee despite losing? They followed them back to the locker room then immediately started showing Giannis highlights.

What happens if the Suns win. Will the clock not let itself tick off the final second of the fourth quarter?

I’m truly baffled at this :lol:

They always feel the need to pump up the "big star".

The Bucks can’t defend us unless they go small with Giannis at the 5…Brook had a good game offensively, but man he was torched on defense. Portis was worse. I don’t know what they do, they can’t play 6 guys the whole series, Can they? López will have to play, though I wonder if they play him when Paul sits. Book and Payne can still shred him, but not as bad as Paul would.

Funny thing, in the brazilian broadcast, LB said "that block is the same Lebron did against us on Iguodala..."

I think you've been spying on my text message conversation with my cousin in the West Valley. You basically said everything we did, word for word.

Haha, great minds!

But I’m real interested to see what Milwaukee does next. I’m feeling pretty good about this series after game 1.

Suns weren’t any sort of threat from long range tonight. Don’t think that keeps up.

I don’t think Giannis is as hurt as the media is making him out to be. God forbid the Suns are just a really good team 🙄

Take Payne out. WTF is he doing. He hit that one shot but these weren't good shots.
10 points on 50/40 splits in 16 minutes is great, especially when Paul and Book had it going like tonight.

Solid 1st quarter
Love Book's mindset

Believe it or not, I think CP3 of all people needed that 1st quarter to settle himself so should be fine now going fwd


So confused by Dario decision just now. He got the step on Brook and got him in the air but somehow chose to avoid jumping into him for the foul then ends up hurting himself sigh

Would have been Lopez 2nd foul also
prescient
