Refs doing their best to make the FT disparity closer when the game is probably out of reach now. Hopefully the Bucks can get the same treatment at home as well.

Every series the refs have been calling fouls one sided against MKE. ATL series ATL got away playing physical several times while MKE got called on it every time.

Lol, you bucks fans. League has much more to gain with giannis winning titles, why would the refs/league try to help the suns when they are the better team? And the game is single digits with almost 8 minutes left, how is it to far out of reach?

Siberian13 · 07-06-2021, 10:08 PM

It’s always the refs fault

pingbling23 · 07-06-2021, 10:09 PM

Come on bucks, giannis should at least touch the ball.

Packer4Rob · 07-06-2021, 10:10 PM

bucks giving up too many uncontested shots and the suns rarely missing them.

Well Van Gundy brought it up too....

down 10... Bucks have Forbes taking jump shots... not Middleton or Holiday... or even Giannis driving.... Forbes

Hehe, it's currently the exact score I thought it would be (literally, 108-96) - with 5 minutes still left in the game...

Saraste · 07-06-2021, 10:15 PM

The big 3 for Phoenix are all playing out of their minds.

Spacemanspif · 07-06-2021, 10:18 PM

I absolutely hate that CP play. it's one thing if you stop momentum to draw a foul, it's another to also shift sideways and make contact with a guy's legs. it's a dangerous play regardless, and double the danger when it's an already injured player

Thanks for being the one to say it. I would have been called a Bucks' homer if I pointed it out

isnt that one of those plays that they plan to review in the offseason, thought i heard that they were going to change how they call that beginning next season. I call it "stopping short", with an homage to Frank Costanza

Did I hear correct the only player on these two teams who's ever played in a Finals game is Crowder?

and Torrey Craig is the only player guaranteed to get a ring.

texmcpherson · 07-06-2021, 10:29 PM

Just hopped in here and the Bucks excuses aren’t very hard to find.

sportzluvr1 · 07-06-2021, 10:30 PM

With Giannis- Suns in 5

Without- Suns in 7

Yes and I love it.

deemsterz33 · 07-06-2021, 10:43 PM

Suns 25-26 from the line tonight, very impressive

Crowder even ruined the free throw record.

Saraste · 07-06-2021, 11:13 PM

As ugly as Crowder was tonight, he will show big in 1 or 2 games. That's the way he is.

Well thank you ESPN

Story of tonight...

CP3, Booker, and Ayton all cooking.

Going to be very hard to beat if all 3 of those guys are firing at once.

Yep!

Why are people talking about refs and FTs when these guys flat out balled..

Some nice stuff from Middleton.

But ultimately MIL were just not building enough stops.

CP3 really wants this. MIL will adjust though and game 2 could be different.
