I actually like Wiseman. He's just years away.

CP had so many chances to ice this

Don't really understand fouling there, there is a full 13 seconds left. I think I'll take my chances with a team that is shooting 14% this quarter

Fun game, I wouldn't wanna see too many 84-80's but like jazz/nuggs gm 7 last year or the NE/Rams superbowl, cool to see a rock fight every once in awhile

Ugly win for the Suns

Surprised Suns didn't play their spread lineup very much at all, I get Morris has an injury but they're giving him good minutes anyway so that doesn't seem why

As well as Zubac played, their offense needs 5 out to score vs the Suns

Maybe Ayton would just wreck it but surprised given how well it did vs Gobert (granted Suns have much better initial M2M defenders)

Ayton just flat out dominated in the paint in an ugly win. His offensive boards and defense are the reason the suns won this clunker of a game imo

Milwaukee/Phoenix is a dream finals imo, both teams evenly matched and I don’t think either style has a distinct advantage over the other. Atl/LAC would also be fun, but any other iteration seems like five fairly lop-sided games.

I've thought it was the winner of Bucks/Nets' to lose since the Kawhi injury announcement, and not a lot has changed imo.

Bucks have the big advantage with the best player by a mile on both ends of the court

But seems like a ton of the smaller edges go the Suns way....Homecourt, coaching, depth/bench, free throw shooting, likely more well rested (which I think is pretty big for a finals that is going to be played in early-mid July), slow big for CP to potentially go at in conventional screen/roll D

Will the 2 minute report flag the ball that went off the Suns player with 7 seconds remaining? How do they suddenly decide not to review that play??

I missed game 2, but my understanding of the rule is if player A is controlling the ball and player B knocks it out, as long as player A doesn't have it hit them a second time it is player A's team to inbound. Doesn't matter if it rolled off their fingers last as long as the contact from player A stayed constant.

I dunno if starting the foul game that early is mathematically correct, but I can tell you as an observer it made me feel like Clippers had no chance.

Ty Lue been great, but I dunno about his strat of putting an ice cold Boogie in at the very end of close games so that he can do something to embarrass himself.

The Clippers rallied from a 16-point deficit in the third quarter to get within one, but couldn't complete the comeback. They went 0 for 12 from the floor with a chance to tie or take the lead, which is the worst shooting stretch over the past 25 postseasons, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

Yay I got to see a historic game live!
