New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

Along with the other points made here, Bucks need to play better perimeter defense. Trading 1.5 (Giannis at the line) or 2 vs. 3s all the time doesn't add up obviously. Suns shot 50% from 3 and this accounted for over half their points. Small ball (run at a very high level by Booker and Paul, and talented support) beats big ball these days. I'd like better balance.

Dear NBA, please move the line back a bit.

I've been waiting so long for that line to be moved back, or even erased, or have the line only from the top of the key and terminated it it's sides so there will be on lurkers who just stand in the corner waiting for a free shot. That should bring back the right defense.

100% with you, Gregg Popovich and many others on this. Why should a guy who hits under 40% of something be a threat?

Maybe I'm just old :)
 
Bucks need to make their home court a real advantage or it will be a quick death. Giannis was the only 'play', and he was the injured guy, the non-injured guys played like they were coming off injuries. I've always believed their winnability in games depends of Middleton, as Giannis will have his way. The Middleton of the Nets series should appear before its too late, and it should be in game 3. That video clip of Giannis so pumped up and riling the other players during a time out is something I've never seen before, he has passion and wants to win. The Bucks bench is composed of only 2 players who are 3 point shooters, Connaughton and Forbes, they're do or die fellows. :D

Yes, hope the Bucks get it together to make this series more interesting.
For me I love this series because the Bucks are playing great to the best of their abilities. The Suns are playing consistently great and I love the excitement from a crowd again. There’s no question the importance of the home crowd factor. Let’s see now the Bucks adjust

FWIW I watched Giannis go into his dribble, hop step and shoot from the 3 point line and manages to slam dunk the ball. His stride is massive

well as far as the Suns winning it all we need to factor in the importance of CP3 who "HAD" been leading in the MVP ladder BUT........

Ironically, this is the same Booker whom Draymond Green said should go out of Phoenix so he can win, earning him a $50K tampering fee.

Magic hire Jamahl Mosley as coach

The veteran assistant coach worked with Dallas for the past seven seasons and helped the Mavericks reach the NBA playoffs four times


 
A well written article. For me, the Bucks MUST win these net 2 games to stand any chance and personally I don't think they can pull it off even with a healthy Giannis

I guess the short of it is that Giannis needs to score 60 points if the others don't show up.

I remain convinced that now that the arenas are packed having the home crowd is a big advantage. It’s like playing 6 against 5 with the crowd that 6th man in

I don’t see how the Bucks can lose this one
 
This rookie Johnson is impressive. His dunk from the foul line has to be this year's best.
