Very impressive performances by the Bucks in Games 5 and 6 without Giannis to put away the Hawks. Suns will be favored especially with Giannis not 100%, but Middleton is now a full-fledged star after he won Game 6 of the ECF with that huge 3rd quarter
I think it'll be the Suns in 6 but I wouldn't count the Bucks out. I like this Finals matchup because it isn't the usual suspects
Having a legendary type of game
Scumbag loser.
Scumbag loser.
Mook man what did Chris Paul do in like an NC- Wake game 15 years ago? Spit on you or something?
How do they add more pieces??
And congrats to Giannis, never thought he could take over a playoff game without a consistent jump shot and he did exactly that tonight
I like Breen a lot with Clyde bc Walt is the absolute best.
But JVG and Jackson are corn riddled shit.
This is the best Disney can do? Garbage.
He's not winning anything with guys like Kanter. If they don't win it won't be Dame's fault at this rate.
The Bucks deserve credit. They felt the urgency to build a better team around Giannis because he was unhappy and they pressed the right buttons.
Congrats to Giannis, great moment for him, the bucks and the nba.
Lets be real here, thry dont win if kyrie doesnt get hurt..Yeah it happrns and it is part of thr game but Bucks got extremely lucky to even be there..
congrats to them for capitilizing
Instead they are champions, crazy
Is it me or are the Suns the worst Finals team in recent memory? Chris Paul and Booker are good players but not great. Ayton is talented but really soft. And they are small too.

Crazy indeed.
Ya very silly, but the good owners cough it up immediately.

the heat last year were tragic
but i dont consider that even a finals in the bubble
To blow a 2-0 lead when it's probably your only shot is really rough.
Probably not. Both players spent 9 years with the teams that drafted them and really haven't seen an uptick in odds of winning (especially with LeBron in the west for Lillard's sake). Giannis really took off in 2016 or so and is simply the more impactful player. Beal and Lillard are basically maxed out in terms of what they can do for their teams so unless they get considerable help, they aren't going to win.
I do hope Lillard stays though, I like him a lot and Portland is a fun team.
it's not the same. Bucks were more of a legit contender than the Wizards and Trailblazers the last few years. Wizards have been bad for a while and the Trailblazers have been one and done 4 out of the last 5 seasons. Three of the "player created" teams lost primarily due to major injuries (Lakers, Nets, Clips). You can't bank on that happening every year.
He is what, 26? He is going to end up as all time great.
Doubt it. Both are older than Giannis & neither have had nearly as good as teams. Let's not forget Bucks were up 2-0 on the eventual NBA champs in '19. The Wizards haven't come close to ECF under Beale & Blazers got swept by Dubs the one time they got to WCF with Dame.
