That is a great quote from Giannis. There isn't really anyone on the Bucks that I dislike, which is such a relief coming off of two series against LA teams and their gaggle of jackasses.
This is the first series we are in where I am not worried about someone from the other team intentionally trying to injure one of our players if things aren't going their way.

I wasn't really worried about the Nuggets players. They did stuff out of frustration, but I never thought they were dirty.

Looks like Crowder’s 3pt shot will once again be be a dud to start the series.
As long as he hits 7/9 in a close out win for us I will be happy.

So far this playoffs, he is 13/21 (62%) in our close out wins.

The rest of the games, he is 25/83 (30%). Ooof.
Really confusing stuff but I’ll take 7/9 in game 4 to finish the sweep. :D
And just think--Portis shot over 47% from 3 on over 2 attempts during the regular season. He is under 31% in the playoffs on similar attempts. So Crowder's non-close out games are Portis' average after hitting almost 50% this season.

On to worrying about Scott Foster in game 2.
Dammit. You stole my first post for the Game 2 thread.

IS THAT SCOTT FOSTER'S MUSIC!?!?!?!!!

(I think the NBA will save him for Milwaukee.)

Campazzo might not have been dirty, but he was on the border and spazzy enough to have something happen on accident.

Campazzo is dirty. He's not reckless, just smarter than Pat Bev.

I am so surprised how good Giannis looked tonight. I assumed we would abuse him on defense because of his knee, but he looked like there was no issue. He didn't have any of those ridiculous euro-step drives from the 3 point line for an And 1, but everything else seemed to be there.

And he went to the Ginobili school of flopping.

Pretty sure CP3 did too. And Crowder falls down on every 3 he takes.

LOL, yeah. Glass houses and all that...

I just get irritated with the complaining and I think the Suns do a pretty good job of not pouting after every call not in their favor.

Quite the company
And only Kareem's was in his first Finals game. The only other players to have 20 and 19 in their first Game 1 of the Finals were Wilt in 1964 and Bill Walton in 1977.

I liked how Booker was visibly animated when CP3 took that last rebound from Ayton.

Jae Crowder going 0-8 with the highest +/- on the team in a Finals win on his birthday is a very bizarre outcome.

What a great win. CP3, Ayton, Booker, Cam Johnson, and Bridges all played great. Glad Giannis seems to be okay. But I think we are built to beat a team like Milwaukee. 3 wins away now!

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.
I can understand virtual's gripe. It's just classic Cam Payne. Hard to watch sometimes, but effective more often than not.
Yeah, I am posting with full-game hindsight.
Perfect 3rd guard off the bench. If he starts playing out of control, you can sit him. But in general I love his emotion

Bridges/Crowder/Booker shot a combined .309 FG tonight. And we still won by 13. Hopefully that’s a good sign.
