The second foul on Ayton was garbage. Ayton was sliding his feet and Giannis put his shoulder into Ayton's chest.
I thought both were pretty questionable

Can’t believe Jackson and JVG said there was clear contact. It’s a contact sport. Contact alone doesn’t justify foul calling. That was trash.

Someone has to stepped up besides Booker. We ain’t winning this if no one can.

Would be nice if Booker and Paul would show up in the same game again

I could hear Giannis slap Booker from half way around the globe.

I’ll take anyone at this point. It’s just Booker right now.

Giannis is the new Shaq so how can anyone be stronger than him? Clearly Ayton pushed Giannis. No way he actually just hit a wall.

DA is getting burned playing off Giannis and daring him to shoot. It's allowing Giannis to get downhill and drive full speed at the rim. Giannis is initiating the contact, but DA is getting the foul. Maybe DA starts crowding him to take away the drive.

Book is carrying us offensively as the Bucks are doing a good job denying our shooters. Paul's having to work very hard just to get the ball over halfcourt and get us into our sets. We're not playing faster as they're jamming us up. We're gonna need some shooters to shake loose and some 3s to start dropping.

Are you suggesting ex-DPOYs don’t know how to play defense?

Seriously tho, how many fouls does Giannis have in the series? Two offensive fouls and anything else?

First few possessions they were letting Bridges bring the ball up, presumably to save Paul’s energy for the half court offense. Not sure why we went away from that.

Gotta clean up the turnovers. Liked the Craig Crowder Cam lineup to spell Ayton. The role players were asked to make some decisions on the fly where they could stand to be a bit less selfish and more aggressive seeking their shots. Overall I’m quite happy with this first half.

Suns just have semblance of an offense right now.
That’s good, right?

Feels like it’s just a matter of time before Bucks take the lead. Suns just look so uncomfortable out there.
There it is. Bucks have a chance to really blow up the lead before the half of the Suns keep looking like this.
Stop it.

Have lost a lot of respect for Jackson and JVG.
Right? All of a sudden they’re f’n idiots! Glad it wasn’t just me.

I'm a complete homer, but I feel like the whistle is not being blown fair tonight and it's frustrating.

Did anyone else think Giannis traveled there? Looked blatant to me but maybe I missed a dribble?
