Contrary to popular opinion the Bucks played really well in game 2. If Connaughton hits that shot to cut the lead to 3 they win the game. Craig and Saric out really is being underplayed. If Milwaukee wins tonight pressure shifts to Phoenix and I can see them stealing game 5

It would be huge if they can win and steal game 5

Well depends also if Scott Foster is officiating. He’s the Bo Boroski of the NBA

Yeah twitter was going nuts on him being the ref for game 4 as Paul has never won a playoff game with him as the ref.
 
My theory? Stop either Paul or Booker, take the ball at Ayton to get him in foul trouble. If they back off to help him, you get some nice perimeter looks, and he's neutralized around the boards offensively because of the fouls.

I actually feel pretty good about tonight's game. But, and I premise this on "but," if the Bucks come out cold, it could be a tough game. They need to demoralize the Suns early, keep them off balance, then deliver the dagger in the 3rd quarter, and coast on in for a 2-2 series, and the feeling they can win in Phoenix.
 
I think that this game and series comes down to what Jrue Holiday shows up. Say all you want about Middleton but when Phoenix made their run he hit 2 clutch shots. And when he gets deep it opens up the 3 ball. And one more, he’s the best defender on the floor not named Giannis. Agree on taking the ball at Ayton. One thing still is that we still have issues on the high pick and roll but to be fair Paul is probably the best in the business executing that set. He’s just so damn good

Yeah no doubt Holiday can shut down anyone when he's on.
 
It's been 50 years for me. I attended the two games played in Milwaukee. Kareem dominated the Bullets on the boards, and couldn't miss from the field in the first game. The Bucks came to play defense in that one, and it worked. In game 3, the Bullets boxed Kareem in. Bobby D and the Big O went to work, dumping in shots from around the key, and continued to play defense. It was pure domination in both games, as far as I was concerned. The Bucks just plain were the best team in the NBA by a wide margin that year, because of Kareem.

I remember, after that, in the early 70s, sitting and watching the playoff games with my Cousin, out in California. We were both big time Bucks fans. We'd go through a few beers during each one, and grill out afterwards. We didn't quite make it, getting a ring during those years, but it was nice enjoying the games with someone who's close. In 1976, he had car trouble on a mountain road, was walking to get help, and was struck and killed by a drunk driver.

Every time I watch a game. I think he's there, sitting on the sofa, watching it with me.

Most of the time I have followed the Bucks they have been a bad team or just a fringe playoff team Besides that early 2000's team and until now for the last 30 years the Bucks have not done much.
