3rdside called it.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Lets see how that knee holds up against a barrage of PnR.

[3rdside]

Heck of a response from monty in that clip above when asked if he thinks Giannis will play or not … in essence; it doesn’t matter.

[Flagrant Fowl]

[Nodack]

So it begins…

[Mori Chu]

Wow, Giannis will play. I really hope he doesn't further injure himself.

Much like Game 6 vs Clippers
I been busy all week, have barely peeped at some tweets but not listened to interviews. Saw you guys sharing some cool podcast folks that I would have checked during the season but again haven't been able to listen.

Well I'm nervous but let's do this
Can't wait til I get home to watch on replay, that gonna drive me crazy so will try to watch here at work

Let's Go
Book shouting out the fans literally a couple hours fore tip

[Shabazz]

Let’s. Fucking. Go.

[3rdside]

LFG

[phatmike]

Damn, it's been a long time. LFG!

[Flagrant Fowl]

Two early seals by Lopez for pretty easy buckets. I was worried about his size against Crowder.

[Wally_West]

I’m nauseous from all my nerves. Fuck.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Both teams look like they're trying to figure things out.

The Bucks are putting Giannis on Mikal and using him as their weakside protector. Suns need to figure out a way to get him involved in defending the ballhandler.

A lot of game planning by both coaches on full display.

[ShelC]

Both teams starting off well enough. Lopez was hurting us in transition sealing Jae but Portis is in now. Giannis looks good which should be enouraging for the Bucks. Book and DA look good. We can feed DA all night if PJ is going to get switched on him.

I was wondering if we'd really be able to attack Giannis unless we were able to get a switch. We don't have wings who can really go at him and make him work. It'd have to be CP or Book.

[Wally_West]

Looks like Crowder’s 3pt shot will once again be be a dud to start the series.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Hot damn that arena is loud.

[virtual9mm]

And sure enough, the Cams hit threes. Suns' offense looks so different when the 3's are falling.

In spite of their being the opponents, I LIKE the Bucks. BroLo and the rest play hard and play the right way. Still want to annihilate them but I like them better than any opponent since Denver.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Even in the NBA Finals the officials don't give Booker the calls he deserves.
