Mmmm.... cheese.

Booker doesn't get called for late fouls.
No kidding. It seems the NBA is averse to having the refs call fouls on their superstars late in games. Giannis gets special treatment at times too.

No doubt. Rules need a revamp and they need to be consistent with calls. I know they are changing some things next season. Hopefully it helps.

I gotta say I turned to the Brewers game after we got down by 16 early. After a while I had to look and was shocked to see we came back! What a night for Wisconsin sports - Bucks one game away from a championship and the Crew up by 6 games in the N. Central! :)

It’s funny how all the pundits took 5 games to realize that Booker going off every night is the only chance the Suns have because the rest of the team is so streaky and Holliday is playing such good defense on CP3 that it’s hard for him to create baskets for the rest of the guys.

Hopefully at least 2 of the 3 stars on the Bucks are on for Game 6. Really hoping it’s a blowout. You see that sometimes with clinching games at home. Bucks really seem to have found the way to win on both ends of the floor.

I agree, but I also really think they are not just learning this now... they learned how to win on both ends of the floor in crippling defeats to Toronto and Miami, as well. Experience is the X-factor so few are talking about in these Finals.

Agreed. A battle tested team with confidence and a calm demeanor.

Drinking heavily, yelling at the TV, and probably dealing with a new cat (going to local humane society Tuesday).

I didn't catch it at the time but look who was the first guy to contest the rebound following the ally-oop +1 free throw attempt by Giannis. The ensuing rebound and clinching free throw by Middleton then made it a two possession game and essentially clinched it.

It's another big-time play from the guy who contributes so much more than buckets when he's on the court. Earning a paycheck? You bet. The buckets should be considered a bonus.

The guy has shown up all series, especially since we made defensive adjustments after Game 2. Yeah he hasn't shot well other than Game 5, but the affect he's had on CP3 has made the Suns a 1 dimensional team since Game 2 to where no one even cares if Booker scores 40.

That's crazy. What are the chances that a point guard would be 0-12 with a certain ref. Trying to wrap my head around this but the only thing I can think of is that he might allow more physical defense to be played in the backcourt, which would obviously help Jrue.
