I keep thinking the Suns are better. They just get really good shots, but the Bucks pulled it out last night. Jrue and Paul were really bad on offense last night, but Jrue is still excellent on defense. The key to the series may be who plays better in the final few games.
He is only a reserve right now, but I have been really impressed by Cam Johnson. Just one of the guys who when he gets an open shot, I expect it to go in. It will be interesting to see what happens to Cam Payne. Maybe he can get more money, but PHX could be the best spot for him. Especially considering Paul's age and them not having succession plan with a younger point guard.
The Bucks' performance last night taught us that defense still matters. They sure as hell didn't win it with their offense, with Giannis's teammates bricking open shot after open shot in the second half.
I told people Cam Johnson was a good player last season and got laughed at. "Reach pick and a bust." Um, hell, no. Binarily wrong. Another example at how lucky the Suns are to have a fantastic scouting and decision-making department to more than make up for their skinflint owner.
I've been beating the drum for Payne to the Mavs (we could have had him cheap out of our farm program, but nope, we're the Mavs) for the past couple of weeks and it seems people aren't listening.
