GAME TWO IS COMING HOT

Phoenix is playing at home, they feel comfortable to handle Bucks by winning with 13 point in game 1.
A team needs four wins to take the trophy home. Phoenix is at home again for game two. As always adjustments are required by Bucks to really compete for the Finals. This is an exercise I can't wait to watch tonight. Giannis should get better and bring his on the court accolade to never settle for jump shot.

I recalled the era when the Finals setting used to be 2-3-2. This setting favors the team with 3 games at home if they are strong minded. At the same time Chicago won most of their championship with that set. It allows for less travel but detrimental for the team with less depth to win. Losing the first two and go home in hope to win three consecutives games are crazy. In 2014 it has changed to 2-2-1-1-1. It will give both teams enough time to prepare and be advantageous along the way. Both teams can lose home court advantage in that format.

Booker did not score 40, but he did his part to elevate the Suns to a victory. CP3 was epic for game one. Scoring 32 points and just 2 turnover. He was very productive to say. Game two will enter the world of the Bucks where defense should be key. I love to see high scoring games. True defense will limit it around 100 for the max. When you have Ayton playing clean with monster job in the rebounding section you can be sure they are not losing the game.

I like the part to get other guys involved. Booker has the opportunity to take that game at home. I saw him playing defense as well. This is a plus for them in game two to continue that trend. Chris Paul is among a bunch of players that contributed big time in the Finals by producing more than 9 assists. You have LeBron, Draymond, MJ and Magic Johnson in this group. Charles Barkley is the only player with that stats and no ring to back it up. I am hoping CP3 continue this route after 16 years and win it this time.
Are you up and ready for game two?
