Okay, I'm officially done with all the talk radio nonsense.  "The Bucks have the momentum..."  Such nonsense, unless you were saying the Suns had the momentum after the first 2.  As has been said a hundred times in this thread, both teams held serve at home, in large part thanks to the crowd and the differences in refereeing.  Yes, Chris Paul has been hounded.  At home he was allowed to push Holiday's clutch and grab defense off with his off hand.  In Milwaukie, not so much.  If it happens in Phoenix that he gets called for the offensive foul for doing that, series is over and the Bucks win.

One last thing.  On the Giannis block.  First off, incredibly intelligent play by Giannis to get back there, and the athleticism is surely freak-level.  But, and there's always a but with me, I put more than 50% blame for that on Booker.  That casual pass led to a few things happening.  Hear me out on this.  The pass should have gone closer to the front of the rim.  With where the pass ended up, Ayton had to reach back and that opened his shoulders to Giannis, right shoulder turning toward Giannis, allowing the Greek Freak to block the ball without much if any impact on Ayton's right hand.  Had the ball gone closer to the front of the rim, Ayton completes the play quicker, and Giannis would have had to go through Ayton's right arm to get to the ball.

Finally, had Booker tossed up a shot there, I think he converts the bucket, or Ayton gets the rebound and finishes.
