Not gonna lie, I think we lose. But I like our chances in this game more than game 3 in the lakers or clippers series!

Why?

I have a lot of confidence right now. I think they will win. Until they don’t.
This Bucks team has been resilient. They’ve been down before. They’re going home. Giannis is pretty much back. I suspect Middleton and holiday will play better at home. And frankly it’s tough to sweep in the finals.

I’ll go with the odds for now.

The Bucks have to prove they can beat THIS team. So far they haven’t.

We get the split someway, somehow in Milwaukee and win this sucker at HOME IN 4 (plus 1).

Lessbron never lost a series after a game 1 loss until he met the Suns.
The Nuggets they had the MVP actually it was kinda sad when they met the Suns.
The Clippers rebounded twice from 2 down until they met the Suns.

We are THE best road team in the league.
Somebody ALWAYS steps up. (next man up bla bla)
We have the man who should have been coach of the year.
I've never seen a team that closes games as consistently as we do.
The Refs cant even beat us.
Enjoy the ride.

If the Suns want the mental edge they need to take Game 3. I don’t think the Bucks would be confident at all to win 4 in a row. They go into survival mode every game and will be under a ton of pressure the rest of the series.

This still strikes me as a series in which the home team wins every game, especially if Torrey Craig misses time.

It will be tough because we won't just be fighting the Bucks, but also the home crowd... and the refs, undoubtedly.

Noti mpossible, as we have overcome that before... but they will have to be sharp.

Well of course they have to. It’s not like I’m suggesting we concede the game. Honestly I think the odds likely favor the suns not sweeping.

If the Suns do sweep the Bucks in Milwaukee, I will take off my leg... and it's not even prosthetic.

How's that for going out on a limb?

I am. I don’t know why some of you think a suns fan can’t be somewhat realistic at the same time. I believe we are the better team, but this is a bucks team who has battled back from being down games in series, made the finals, and which lots of professionals favored over us until Giannis’ injury and now Giannis is back. I’m not saying we are going to lose the series but I think we drop a game and I think it’s likely game 3 as they know it’s do or die time and it’s back on their home court.

No I get your point, but I feel until they beat us they cant. Ill worry about reality when/if it finally hits.

In fact I'll stop calling Chris Paul CP3 or Point God from now on he's Gollum. He can taste the precious.
Not even the evil denizen of Mount Akopoupolo can wrench it from his grasp.
I hope reality never hits.

dude... I hope he’s not Gollum. Gollum celebrates too early, dies and doesn’t get the ring at the end.

Don’t be too jealous, I worded my post poorly. We are going to the Suns arena to watch the away game on the jumbotron. We did it for one of the Clippers’ away games as well. It was tons of fun and the tickets are only $10.

Chris Paul's turnovers and the way they hand Book bringing up the ball seems to indicate to me that Pauls hand injury is getting worse.

He shot okay and his handle didn’t seem as bad as when his shoulder went out. I think this is just a long defensively minded bucks team. I give them credit for the turnovers. Particularly holiday. He sucked offensively but was pretty good on Paul (though Paul was obviously better).
