Video Transcript

- Huge win for the Suns, obviously, huge win for the Suns. Booker looked like himself. Chris Paul, big in the biggest moments, all right. Deandre Ayton 22 and 19 or something like that. You know what's wild about Deandre Ayton, he's dominated every series, but it seems like he gets those numbers every game. I can't remember looking at a Deandre Ayton stat line and not seen like 22 and 18 type numbers. The dude is special. I don't know how much he's getting paid, what his contract looks like, but that man needs to get a bag. And very soon. He's been the most reliable player on that Suns team, and that team is full of solid, solid players.

You know, let's give credit to Giannis for even playing. After that injury last week, the fact that he's playing is crazy. I thought there was no way that Giannis would be playing. Proving he's superhuman. He had a solid game. Middleton had a solid game as well. But they need Giannis to be Super Saiyan to beat these Suns. I have no reason to believe in Game 2 the result is going to be any different. And partially because it seems like the Suns wanted it more. On defense they were much more active, their hands were much more active. They communicated better, seemingly. I just don't see why we wouldn't get the exact same result if Giannis doesn't come back being himself. And it doesn't seem like that's possible because of what happened last week. The fact that he's playing is great, but it's not good enough to win this series. Shall we say Suns in four? I don't think it'll be that easy. I don't think any game will be easy, obviously, but I don't know if they'll sweep them. I'd say Suns in six, you know, and I don't see them winning. I don't see Bud coming in and switching something up and having them pull off a win in Game 2. So I think they're going to go back to Milwaukee down two, and we'll see what happened after that.
