CP3 making an early bid for FMVP
I think this is a lock now and the series is over. Momentum is too strong, Suns in 4 or 5. Sir Charles will be happy!

So this was a fantastic take

Game 5 in 5 hours. Huge pressure on the Suns to win at home and give themselves a chance to win in six games away in a few days. I don't think there's much pressure on Milwaukee because I feel like they're expected to lose this and then win at home. So it's a bonus game for them, much like a game six at 3-2 in Milwaukee would be for the Suns.
-
The more I think about it the more this game worries me. The Bucks can just come out and play. They have momentum - such as it is in basketball - and aren't expected to win. Picking up the W today means they go home with a chance to clinch the title. Its the same scenario for game six if Phoenix win today. They can just go to Milwaukee and play, knowing the worst that can happen is they play a game 7 at home.

One certainty for sure is that if the Suns lose today the pressure on Chris Paul will be massive.

What a game!
Suns jet out the blocks with a big first quarter. Bucks then hit back in the 2nd and then go on a nice run in the 3rd.
Then the 4th was back and forth.What a play by Holiday to even throw that alley-pop in that situation after the steal. TGF with a sweet finish.

What a play at the end by Holiday.

Steal made around the 17-18 second mark, you are up by one point, you get the ball past halfcourt and usually try to run the clock, but with TGF running hard on the opposite wing, he has the presence of mind to throw it and I’d say between TGF and Lebron, not many other guys are catching that on the run and ramming it home, plus the foul.
As an aside, the foul Chris Paul committed on TGF would’ve been foul shot and possession if it were in the Olympics. Not really a basketball play, just a straight push!
-
TGF was not going to let his team lose today. Demanding the ball, barely passed it, was working his butt off on D, looked gassed at times, but kept going.
McCaw-esque performance
-
Yep, can't complain about that. Lost four on the trot and the best player out there stood up large today and sent it to us. We looked like we'd lost our mojo during games 4 and 5 so this wasn't a surprise. Well done Milwaukee. Your power tools are shit but your basketball team has earned this title
