Still pissed about the Yankees. But. I promised a break on Yankee talk for a few days. So…..

The Bucks won game 3 of the NBA Finals, finally breaking thru in the series. The team shot well and Giannis was, well, Giannis with 41 points and 13 rebounds. I’m telling you, if Antetokounmpo hones his jumper and develops a long range shot, he’ll be scarier than now. Now, he a freight train, if he develops a consistent jumper, he’ll be a freight train with touch. The NBA should be on notice. But, for now, the Bucks are right back in the series, with a pivotal Game 4 Wednesday night in Brew City.

Watching the game and highlights later, the Bucks were carried by their rabid home crowd and seem to make a lot, while the Suns shot very poorly. Suns stars Devin Booker and Chris Paul combined for just 29 points on 11 of 28 shooting.

Game 4 is Wednesday. It will be interesting to see it play out. Will the crowd be a factor again? Will the Suns shoot better, will Giannis be the Greek Freak again?

To me, the X Factor has to be the Suns’ veteran heartbeat, Chris Paul. This is his moment. As much as Giannis makes the Bucks go, Paul makes the Suns go. Yes, they have Devin Booker, and others who can shoot the lights out. Paul though, in addition to being a great shooter himself, he leads and facilitates.

I am interested to see the coaching moves and the adjustments.

Back tomorrow with Homerun Derby recap. Hard not to root for Ohtani.

Thanks for the read.
