That last foul on Cam Johnson is bullshit.
At least half of those fouls Giannis is drawing have bene bullshit.
Giannis is playing bully ball and still getting calls left and right. We played like shit on offense and defense but the officiating made sure we never had a real chance. On to the next one.

They may have had a chance if Booker and Bridges had shown up, but they didn't and they had to give meaningful minutes to Kaminsky and that was it.

Well, gotta do it in 5 now.

Bucks hit their shots, we didn't. Book had an off game, Monty pulled him early probably for rest. DA in foul trouble for the first time really and it went as you'd expect. Just didn't have the size to handle Giannis.
It seemed to be that Book was tired during the media availability sessions yesterday. Hopefully, he gets a good rest before game 4 on Wednesday.

How is it that Giannis can grab a fistful of Johnson’s jersey for the entire time and it’s a foul on Johnson? And punch him in the gut to boot.

Two things happened:

The Bucks went on a run in the second quarter when Ayton and Paul were on the bench.

The officiating didn't allow the Suns to match the Bucks physicality in the second half, especially when defending Giannis.

Yep, just have to flush this one and come back strong on Wednesday. Just need to take one of two to take control of the series. Wednesday works just as well.

We absolutely cannot play Frank anymore. While the game mattered be was -13 in 5 minutes and that doesn’t fully capture everything. He came in and completely flipped momentum. Bucks continued their huge runs even after we took him out.

I checked, we brought Frank in at 6:45 left in the 2nd and Milwaukee outscored is 21-7 the rest of the way. We then brought him in with 2:47 left in the 3rd and Milwaukee went on a 13-0 run to close the 3rd. So 34-7 in the minutes Frank played and immediately after he was taken out.

Why don't they just play Jalen Smith those Kaminsky minutes? Frank is really not getting it done out there.

I was really surprised Monty went back to Frank in the second half.

Like Split and others have said, they can't play him real minutes. I'm fine if he's in there for the last minute of a quarter if they really need to do it, but the Suns are playing 4-on-5 when he's in there during the middle of a quarter.

Why did they leave CP3 out there until 5 minutes left? Don't risk injury to one of our key players.

I'm bummed out that we lost, but I expected this one. We have lost every Game 3 of these playoffs other than during the Denver sweep. We have always come back strong in game 4.

We can’t complain to loudly about grabbing the jersey. I think my favorite part of the Valley Oop was Ayton grabbing Zubac’s jersey and running him into Booker to free up for a split second.

I pretty much expected this to be a loss too.

This loss is on the Booker and the ghost. Did Bridges even play? It is hard for me to believe that he was only a -1 which tied tied for the best on the team.

We cannot win if Bridges only score 4 points and has 4 turnovers. IMO he is as big of a key as anyone. His scoring inconsistency drives my crazy.

If both Booker and Bridges just have average games we are in this game. Of course it would help if Ayton was not in foul trouble.

I say we have Crowder dribble full speed and Run Gianis the fuck over like he does all night to our team. Maybe Ayton needs to do that while elbowing him in the face. I really cannot stand that guy.
I wanted Monty as our coach since D'Antoni left town. Nice choice James Jones.

Tough loss but I’m not worried. It’s the Scott Foster game.

Holiday won’t be lights out again

Booker won’t be trash again

Giannis won’t shoot a high FT percentage again.

Suns won’t shoot that poorly in the first half again.

Bobby Portis will still yell and flex after an offensive outback was missed but a foul was called 😂

When Bridges and Booker are both bad, we have no chance.

Scott Foster did not help either. We need someone anyone to pose as a running back, like Paul described Gianis, and run him the fuck over about 3 times in the first quarter. We will see how big of a stud he really is. It is like they say. It ain't much fun when they shoot back.

We better hurry up and win it in 5 before Foster comes back again.

Bucks needed that game and got it. We have a series. You didn’t want it to be easy did you?

Nobody ever told us that everything we want is on the other side of easy.

That can’t be true because they combined for 42 the game before … even if Thanasis didn’t get on the court.
