Bucks at Suns

Bucks with a one point lead with 6:57 left in the first.

Suns want this game badly. They want to show they're the best tim in the NBA.

Booker picks up his 2nd foul.

Suns fans still doing that stupid free throw count.

Come on, Bud. Wiggington in for the first quarter. Turnover and then get posted up for an easy two on defense.

Bucks up by 3 at the end of the 1st.

Now Wigginton fouls a 3 point shooter. I realize they are down 5 guys (Lopez, G. Hill, DDV, Hood, and Ojeleye) from last game, but Wigginton on front of Nwora and Thanasis? At least Thanasis could hold his own defensively.

Bud challenged the 3 point foul and won. Sucks to waste it on a Wigginton foul, though.

Ibaka would have helped tonight.

Chris Paul is dirtier than Grayson Allen, but hardly anyone talks about it.

Wonder how Giannis got T'd up while on the bench?

Reggie Miller is an idiot. Going on about how Paul crossed up Holiday when Holiday tripped over Portis' foot.

Reggie Miller is the worst. He might as well be wearing a shirt saying “I hate the Bucks”

They'd almost be better off playing 4 on 5 rather than playing Wigginton.

Bucks down 9. Getting away from them. Connaughton 0 for 5 on all wide open 3s. Nwora 0 for 2. Wigginton has been awful.

All these guys kiss Chris Paul's ass constantly.

Bucks down 57 -64 at the half. 18 lead changes.

Down 8 at the half.

Connaughton and Nwora are 0 for 7 on wide open 3s. DDV wasn't any better, but if those guys don't hit those wide open shots, the Bucks have trouble with anyone.

Yep, Reggie sucks! Him talking about how Lopez couldn't have hustled to make a lay up, like Portis did, really pissed me off.

Connaughton made a three, but it was nullified by a penalty on Giannis.

It's all my fault. I bet the Bucks +3.5 😆 plus under 233.5

FYI...game ain't over yet.

Paul pushes off his defender the same way Harden used to. I thought they made that a violation, this season. Am I wrong???

Bucks open up the second half looking like the the plane is warming up.

Nice block on Paul, by Portis!

If the bench is playing even halfway decently, we’re right in this.

2 of 11 from the floor, 1 of 8 from three. That hurts.

Giannis shooting 3s and 18 foot jumpers. Post him up

I think the Bucks were never really into this game. They hung around in the first half, but they look like they just want to get home.

Bucks have scored 9 points in the last 10 minutes of game time.

Monroe may as well just fly home instead of with the team to Milwaukee after this. He's out of the league except for 10 day contracts for a reason, but if there is any game he be effective in it would be a game against Ayton.

Of course, the game really got away from them the last 2 minutes of the first half when Wigginton was in.

Keep throwing up those bricks, Connaughton. Christ.

Down 17 - might as well pack it in.

Connaughton 0 for 6.

Bucks have no intensity right now.

Oh, how I hope Chris Paul retires without winning a title. He can suck a fart through a straw.

Why did Giannis wait until 32 minutes into the game to start trying to take over?

He is suck a fake. It's good he sells State Farm insurance. He and Aaron Rodgers are similar guys. Some of the best of all-time at their positions, but genuinely unlikeable guys.

Nwora in for Jrue. Here comes a nice Suns run. Talk about going from feast to famine, defensively.

Great - as soon as they trade DDV Connaughton gets hurt?

I was thinking the same thing.

Rodgers and Favre have both gone completely mental at the end of their careers.

I'm disappointed we were unable to trade Nwora for someone remotely useful. You can't play him in a meaningful game.

Gotta box out better than that Giannis. Got lazy and got a flagrant foul.
