Suns @ Bucks Sunday Finals game thread 7-11-2021 - Game 3

[1Sun]

Craig's availability will all come down to pain management. If it's a deep bone bruise, he is still likely out for the series. If it is just a contusion, I can't see him missing more than Games 3 and 4, tops.

He looked horrible on Tuesday, but with 3 days of preparation, perhaps it is time to see what Frank Kaminsky can give us as a back-up 5.

I’m betting Craig’s out Sunday but back by Wednesday when we absolutely rip the Bucks heart out and take a 3-1 lead.

I’m almost HOPING Scott Foster is the ref in Game 3 because if there’s any game moving forward the Bucks are likely to win and would be the least devastating it would be the next one, likely without Craig and with the home team getting a bunch of calls.

Don't give out any medical advice.

We should all know by now, that the only accurate medical advice comes from Facebook!

My son and I got tickets again to watch the away game at the Suns arena. Should once again be a load of fun.

How does one do this?

The inner m asochist in me says bring on Scott Foster... he isn't stopping a team that is destined.

I’m leaning this way also. Let CP3 break Scott Foster in the biggest FU ever to take a death grip on the series.

100% agree, on all of this.

Giannis gets away with a LOT of charges. That play against Craig was not intentional, but it was reckless and dangerous.

The part that gets me is he barrels forward drawing a foul from the dude he just laid out and I mean laid out. i simply despise his game. Funny thing, I liked it against the nets

 

[Zeem_Freeze]

its over. see you guys at the parade

Good post but the Suns are going up 3-0 in this series.

Best news of the day hearing Torrey Craig has no structural damage in his right knee. I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Some interesting stats heading into Game 3.

Chris Paul and Devin Booker have combined for 113 points the first two games of the Finals. The most by a staring backcourt in NBA history.

It's hard to not start counting chickens. The Bucks have to win four of the next five. Just cannot see that happening without a major injury somewhere.

 

[Carolinacacti]

If the Clips where down 0-2 to the Bucks would it be over? If the Bucks where down Two games to the Clippers would it be over. I think the Bucks are a different Monster.

[SirStefan32]

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.

I think I disagree for now. His shooting was fine, he wasn't grimacing, or holding his hand, so I honestly think he just had an off game while being pressured. If it happens again, I'll start to get worried, but for now I am chalking it up to a simple "off" game.

I said that I thought the clippers were the toughest opponent we would face this postseason after we beat them. Going up 2-0 against the Bucks in a much more convincing fashion than we did against the clippers has me still believing this Suns team will not be stopped.

The clippers got two against us. I see the Bucks getting only one at most.

It’s gonna be a little sad when this season is over simply because it’s been such a magical ride.

It almost makes you want to see this series go long just so it doesn’t end…On second thought, who am I kidding. Let’s sweep these Bucks!

was just thinking the same thing... with one caveat. I’d be really happy to see this end in 5 because then I think my entire family, including Ouchie, will be able to watch it together in Phoenix.

 

[SirStefan32]

I am still cautious. I want the Suns to sweep. The sooner they win this series the better as far as I am concerned. I don't want to mess with the basketball Gods. Just win the next two games and call it a season.
