The 'don't touch a superstar' rule and 'travelling is only theory' rule are the worst things about NBA basketball. Watching the Olympics might actually be interesting.

I'm not usually one to call rigged, but how do you not call Booker hugging a guy in the air a foul?

Finally a decent game in this series, and now we have a series. Giannis with the legendary block to seal the game.

how is he able to guard Booker and get over in time to block Ayton? Absolutely ridiculous.

Yep, that was a bleeping brutal missed call. The crew chief even admitted that it was missed.

Anyone noticing how many series are starting out 2-0 and then going 2-2. I feel like its abnormally high this year.

I feel like it's always happened in the NBA where home court advantage is a bigger deal than a lot of other sports.

It has been 5 out of 15 playoff series this season with the 2-0 series lead and it being tied up at 2-2. Just one of those series had the visiting team go up 2-0. There have been two game 7s in these playoffs and both of them went to the visiting team.

I really like the Suns, but man, how can you not root for Giannis?!

Another great game. I think the Suns push it to 7. But we’ll see what happens in game 6.

So much for the home team winning every game in this series. It looks like the Bucks are a team of destiny being down 2-0 and have now won 3 straight. Heard and saw that the 2002 Miami Heat and 1977 Portland Trailblazers are the only 2 teams to be down 2-0 and then win 4 straight to win the title.

I want the Bucks to fail because if they succeed it validates Antetokounmpo choosing Milwaukee over Toronto.

I'm actually rooting for the Bucks because their narrative reminds me of Toronto's a bit... been in the playoffs for several years, not able to put together a deep run, starting to get a bit of a choker reputation... and then they make the right trades and go all-in and finally get their shot. Not everything is the same between them of course, but I find it easier to root for them than an upstart, first-time-in-the-playoffs-in-years team.

I'm fine with either of these teams winning. Phoenix was awesome during the Nash years. Did a long rebuild and it's paying off.
