    If anybody had told me two years ago that the freaking Suns would reach the Finals during Lillard's prime i would have told him you lost your mind bro, and now...

    I'm really impressed how Suns came out in both games without their playmaker and didn't skip a beat. They were all aggressive and fearless and shared the ball.

    I'm a little surprised they didn't call offensive goal tending on Ayton.
    You can catch the ball in the cylinder - fine.
    But his wrist clearly touched the rim before the ball went through the hoop. Touching the rim or the backboard before the ball goes through the cylinder is offensive goal tending.

    On an inbound pass it's a live ball not a shot attempt.

    Not in a live ball situation. You can dunk that shit like it's a pass. It's a live ball. By the logic you're using every time you touch the rim during a shot it would be offensive basket interference and dunks would be illegal in all situations.

    On the offensive foul on Booker......that was a crucial call in the game. First of all, it was a late whistle which was only called because Beverly flopped like he was punched in the head by Mike Tyson. But what irritates me is that when they went to the replay booth they can't factor in that Booker was fouled by both players as well. Beverly was pulling him back by his jersey, and Kennard ( I believe) hacked his arm.

    The call ended up being a common foul on Booker. If you are going to take that long to review it why not look at the whole play? I assume they can't ....right? Stupid rule.

    Dame would look pretty stupid when they won 8 playoff games and he won 2.

    no. And I've seen it called recently. Guy dunked the ball and hung on the rim. Ball bounced up first, then went through while his hands were on the rim - offensive goal tending called.

    Cameron Payne is no slouch. IMO the best back-up PG in the NBA.
