As even Jackson and SVG alluded to, there was an exact same call in game 2 when Giannis ran over Paul. Refs really need to think this stuff through. They are basically telling the Suns to don’t touch Giannis even if he runs around like a wild chicken right under the basket.

Feels like Book is forcing the 3. We've wasted a few possessions but still staying steady and feeling things out. DA aggressive early, nice drive from Cam Johnson and a sidestep 3 from Crowder. CP is definitely locked in to start.
I wonder if this was tactically planned. Draw heat from PnR

Everyone knows how I feel about Book shooting long jumpers. It seems like they realize defenders are going under the screen and he's playing for the step back
Obviously he trusts his shot and took 12 of them last game when he got in a rhythm but still not sure I like him living out there
Yep. The Bucks are baiting him into that shot, and it's probably a good strategy.

They should probably sit Craig and let him have 6 days of rest, especially since we're likely going to lose this game anyway.
Stop it!

Suns really need to get grab these 50/50 balls.

Two terrible turnovers to start the quarter. Both Mikal and Paul know better than that.

Prediction: big Ayton first quarter.
Nailed it.

Tencent is awful in an opposite way. I’ll get into it later if anyone is interested. Now I’m gonna focus all my personal jitters on the game. Good to see DA and CP3 came to play.
Living on this side of the planet I'm well aware of Tencent and all of their bullshit. But hey, China gonna China.
Yeah. I don’t want to get into the company itself more complaining about their broadcast.
Well, you get what you pay for. Tencent?

Torrey Craig clearly isn't 100%, but I think he's playing well.

Man, this team...
The Bucks are going to have to take this game if they want it. Nothing easy for them so far.

What a monster start for Ayton. I look forward to his 4 points in the second half after we completely ignore him for no reason.

Ayton and Paul looking great, hitting everything. Could use Booker catching fire and burying the bucks.

And knowing coach Bud, that was probably his instructions to Giannis before the game.

I don't think this Suns team is really capable of burying their opponent in the first half.

Booker just watched that ball pass by him. He needs to get out of his own ass.

He was face guarding Tucker for the offensive rebound and didn’t see the air ball. Wouldn’t ride his ass for that one.
