momentum shift. in 2019 when the Bucks dropped 2 in Toronto after going up 2-0, they were obviously rattled at home in game 5 and I suspect the young guys on Phoenix to be rattled when it gets tight
this phoenix suns team has a great deal more poise than the bucks did 2 yrs ago though.. can't really compare those 2 things..
the 2 games in phoenix werent even close, no drama, suns won both.
game 3 at bucks was a nice showing, not close. but game 4 almost got stolen and would have got stolen had cp3 not played for the bucks instead of for his actual team, or even if monty realized cp3 was wearing a bucks jersey and swapped cam paynes 17 mins for cp3s 37, payne scored like the same as cp3 did with 20 less minutes, and 9 of those minutes he wasnt even playing pg. the 8 mins he played pg was when cp3 sat in the 3rd and the bucks had to worry about a scoring pg so booker went off because of it.
but cp3 is cp3 so hes gonna get that playing time even if he doesnt deserve it so hindsight is 20/20. regardless of anything ref related, it will be a good rest of the series, its clear as day that both teams are almost unbeatable at home, tho i give the edge to the suns because they came closer to winning on the other teams home court and it was with cp3 playing his worst he's probably ever played, if you don't think that will boost the young guys confidence, that they almost won in spite of who ppl say is the reason they are even there playing like absolute trash, then idk what to tell ya lmao. i personally think it shouldnt be this close of a series but cp3 clearly wanted it to be.
