    Well that's one game in the books and happy the Suns won it of course. It was nice to see the league NOT influencing the officials on who is supposed to win. That garbage in the previous series against the LA Cluppers was so damn obviously dictated by the league it confirmed why I walked away not watching the NBA a decade ago. Ugghh. Anyways...since there is no longer a Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan type superstar or a traditional Big Market team to cater too in this series...this series looks to be evenly called on the court. Let 'em play and let the best team win!

        Should be an exciting series. Would love to see CP3 get a title and I really like the young Suns team. I would encourage anyone who has not watched the NBA in a while or who has preconceived notions of what the league is to tune in with an open mind.

          In most years yep. But if the series goes like last night...we might just be able to enjoy it as basketball fans. No mega-super stars or no LA, Chicago, New York market to appease the advertisers. Just basketball so far.

            Does this "basketball" still include nonstop flopping, acting like you got fouled, intentionally trying to get fouled, whining to refs that you got fouled? If so - no thanks.

                It does NCAA Bound. Moreso than I remember from 10 years ago so yeah...that kinda sucks. But I tell you what...if you haven't seen Devon Booker (Phoenix) or the big guy from Milwaukee yet...man...those guys are some players that play ball the right way.

                  Exactly what the NBA is turning into. The refs have become like WWE refs.

                    Well that was a schakling. I figured the Bucks would win by being on their home court for the first time in this series. The NBA has a way of evening things up.
