GAME TWO IS COMING HOT
Phoenix is playing at home, they feel comfortable to handle Bucks by winning with 13 point in game 1.
A team needs four wins to take the trophy home. Phoenix is at home again for game two. As always adjustments are required by Bucks to really compete for the Finals. This is an exercise I can't wait to watch tonight. Giannis should get better and bring his on the court accolade to never settle for jump shot.
I recalled the era when the Finals setting used to be 2-3-2. This setting favors the team with 3 games at home if they are strong minded. At the same time Chicago won most of their championship with that set. It allows for less travel but detrimental for the team with less depth to win. Losing the first two and go home in hope to win three consecutives games are crazy. In 2014 it has changed to 2-2-1-1-1. It will give both teams enough time to prepare and be advantageous along the way. Both teams can lose home court advantage in that format.
Booker did not score 40, but he did his part to elevate the Suns to a victory. CP3 was epic for game one. Scoring 32 points and just 2 turnover. He was very productive to say. Game two will enter the world of the Bucks where defense should be key. I love to see high scoring games. True defense will limit it around 100 for the max. When you have Ayton playing clean with monster job in the rebounding section you can be sure they are not losing the game.
I like the part to get other guys involved. Booker has the opportunity to take that game at home. I saw him playing defense as well. This is a plus for them in game two to continue that trend. Chris Paul is among a bunch of players that contributed big time in the Finals by producing more than 9 assists. You have LeBron, Draymond, MJ and Magic Johnson in this group. Charles Barkley is the only player with that stats and no ring to back it up. I am hoping CP3 continue this route after 16 years and win it this time.
Are you up and ready for game two?
One team has to be the best among the two. May the better side in the game come out strong.
That is what they say. We will see who wants to win more?
CP3 or Giannis ?
I’m so ready for game 2! Going to be an exciting outing no doubt.
I honestly had no idea that the series setup used to be different. I guess I knew before, but had forgotten. Who plays at home when and for how long definitely makes a difference. Suns getting the first two games would put immense pressure on the Bucks to secure those next games at home.
I did not know they changed the format. I do remember during Chicago Bulls time it was 2-3-2.
I have to research the change and see how beneficial it is for both teams.
No matter the change the team with home court advantage get to reap the first two games,
try to get one away and come back home for the last one.
Getting put down two games like that is rough on a team. Doesn’t make it impossible though, especially if they get to go back home.
Excited for tonight's matchup. I'm thinking the Bucks have what it takes to steal one here in Phoenix
Giannis did come to play and scored a bunch.
Where is Middleton when you need him the most?
Even Jrue was pushing a little.
Fantastic. Playing at home really helped to boost the confidence of the players. Apart from the team work of the team.
Thanks for sharing
Another point to Suns
