Bucks @ Suns Thursday Finals game thread 7-8-2021 - Game 2

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Suns benefitted from some uneven officiating in Game 1. There will be at least one Bucks victory to even that out. I fear it's tonight.

26 FTs isn’t an incredible amount even if it’s at the high end for a bucks opponent. It’s not like we got 35+ FTs. And the bucks weren’t that aggressive offensively. I think we will see more aggression by the bucks and they’ll get more FTs.

If Booker averages 21 ppg over the next 3 games he will own the record for the most points in first postseason.

First game I was completely jacked and now gone into NERVE mode. We need Game 2 to hold court. Then the best road team in the NBA can do on the road and take complete control of the series. WOOT!

26 isn't an incredible amount. But Milwaukee only shot 16. That's a big difference.

I’m pretty relaxed going into tonight. It’s my birthday and the Suns are going to grab a death hold of the series. Cant wait!

Looks like I wouldn't want that record if we're going off results of how the team finished up. Lol

Crazy how fast Trae Young got to third

 

[BigRedRage]

Will the refs let them play again tonight or start calling fouls?

10 is not a big difference. That isn't out of whack at all. I have seen games where the difference is 20. During the Lakers series the difference was 17 to ZERO at half during one game in favor of the Lakers. THAT is a big difference. Ten? I call bull.

The only reason it felt bigger is because the Suns are a very good free throw shooting team while if Giannis is shooting them you can depend on him missing several.

So in the previous rounds, Suns opponents shot an average of 22 per game. Bucks shot 16. Suns averaged 19 per game and shot 26 in game 1.

You need to look at the disparity per game not the raw numbers. The raw numbers can heavily fluctuate based on how the game is being called. Every game is called different.

Bottom line is the Suns have faced much larger gaps than the ten the Bucks are complaining about.

Suns/Lakers -20 (adv Lakers)
Suns/Denver +25 (adv Suns)
Suns/Clippers -52 (adv Clippers)
Suns/Bucks +10 (adv Suns)

If anybody should be complaining about disparity it should be the Suns. Ten?!?! Please.

This is it!
The biggest game of the year.

Pfft how many more FTs do they want poor Giannis to miss.

Me too. Pessimist Jones is out in full effect today! Hoping for the best but fully expecting to lay an egg tonight.

Happy Birthday @cheesebeef

OF THIS CENTURY!

Absolutely. Sort of the same with Young and his ankle.

It shows why these records are so hard to break. Skill doesn't matter without health and opportunity

I sincerely hope that if the game is close we give Giannis the Simmons / Shaq treatment.

I am F’N PUMPED for this game!
