    Eh. I think they lose to a healthy Lakers and Nets and definitely to… 4 HoF Warriors, honestly 3 HoF Warriors, Big Thre Cavs, and 2018 Rockets.

    That being said the way Giannis is balling and Middleton and Jrue having more than one good game a series each, they aren’t a bad team… but Suns we’re definitely favored prior to the series statt

    But he's still outplaying him when they are both on the floor. That's the coach's decision, they could mirror Ayton's minutes with Giannis like the Bucks try to do with CP3/Jrue but they know deep down inside that won't work out well for them because Ayton can't guard Giannis.

    I'm not hating on Ayton, he's 22, I think he'll get better...but right now he can't do anything with Giannis, no one on the Suns team can and that's been a big issue because no one is talking about how Giannis is also creating for others.

    Why do you hate Giannis? Because of Harden? Giannis is surpassing Harden in every way.... He is nowhere near LeBron or Curry in terms of hate. If anything Giannis is pretty damn bad ass. He's cool....

    I guess I’ll have to make my peace and grit my teeth and accept that the Bucks will be winning a chip in two games or less :(:(:(

    bunch of small things I explained in my previous post. I also said it was completely irrational, I just hate the man.

    I’m also a bronsexual and I like Curry (who I also used to loathe irrationally — although I did root for failure this season so MFs could stop saying Curry could solo carry a team) so obviously it’s clear as day I’m just an irrational hater

    What a great game. Huge win for the Bucks but I wouldn't be so quick to count the Sun's out.

    I think this series goes to 7. (I predicted bucks in 7 when this thread opened). Look for one or both, Middleton and Jrue to fall back down to earth in game 6.

    Lastly, not sure why some are saying Suns or CP3 choked this game away. It was a great game. Both teams made big shots and big plays the entire game. Suns were just unfortunate, the bucks made a few more of them.

    Yep, had the feeling the Suns lost the Finals in game 4.

    It's over.

    I mean yea, he's Giannis and Ayton is Ayton. But like he is doing a good enough job. Its not Ayton's fault that this is happening(its mostly because he's being weak on the boards). Its not some slaughter out there, it really is not.

    Giannis can get his and they can win. Its really Middle and Jrue they should worry about. Middleton they cant let him get to his spots. Holiday, you dont have to expect him to make it like has, this game likely wont continue next game.

    one lowkey great coaching moment from Coach Bud is not playing Teague in a crucial moment.

    I think back to MDA playing Ryno in a game 7 in the 3rd qtr, the Warriors best quarter, when the Rockets were still up, only to see him die over and over again. MDa could have played anyone just to give whoever needed rest or was in foul trouble for a few minutes and he chose to play Ryno.. smh.

    Look hard and close at this Bucks team. The guys surrounding Giannis have shown to be able to hog tie teams without him. The Warriors contagious shooting and ball movement might be too much. Nobody in the league can do anything to contain Giannis unless Draymond gets real dirty. I think Giannis dunks on donkey and breaks his hand in an attempted block. **** donkey.

    he is not surpassing harden in anything. the nba is about entertainment in adam silver era( just look at how the media covers the nba compared to the other 3 sports in america). They are pushing giannis to be the next Lebron( but most basketball purists hate lebron and giannis style of play). If Harden played in the 80's and 90's or early 2000's when david stern was commishner and when the league had integrity, he would have 3 mvps. At least 2 of the mvps nash won go to harden

    And then Ryno drifted into irrelevance after his stint here. RIp

    Lol. Dude looks like he is gonna start crying at any moment. I do see white Harden in him, and he gets the same fat fat fat hate posts that Harden does/did. If he wasn’t a Mav maybe that would alter some of our perceptions.
