I voted Suns in 6. I actually think Suns BY 6. but honestly I am rooting for the Bucks. I like Ayton. CP3 and Booker not so much.
 
It's amazing that there were articles about "what's Ryan McDonough thinking seeing his team near the finals" when there is almost nothing about the Suns that resembles "his team". James Jones definitely set a blue print for what I hope to see from Monte this offseason. It might be extremely painful watching it play out, but if it pays off it will be wonderful. I just hope Vivek stays out of his way.
 
Cannot believe this is the suns team that was a bigger mess than the kings 3-4 years ago. Now they are in the finals and the kings are in the exact same spot they were draft day 2018. Absolutely insane.
 
refs allowing Paul to stop on a dime, have Giannis trip all over him and then give him continuation is just one of many things that's wrong with the association

I'm ok with that rule. Basketball craftiness is largely about stopping and going, hesitation etc. If you're able to bait a defender into knocking into you, you deserve to be awarded with the call. Quite different from the Harden arm hook or jumping into a defender or the jumpshot leg kick where it's entirely the offensive player causing/initiating the contact unnaturally.
 
I really don't like the Bucks trying to go Clippers on the Suns. Giannis as good as he is isn't the same scoring/playmaking threat that PG13 is so I'm sure not the advantage they get with him at center with an injured wheel.

Well, they did get the number 1 pick, signed Chris Paul, and didn't shy away from going ALL OUT in terms of the current trend of small ball loaded with size/defense on your wing. And of course every team they probably couldn't get through on their best day ATM was injured. In time they might get through them but this is still a young team.

As compared to the Kings who got the second pick, and can't get through every team that they should get through on their worst day. In time Kings probably still won't get through but will be an old team.

he's moving in a forward motion towards the rim though, you can't be telling me that him stopping instantly so Giannis can piggy back him is basketball craftiness

if Giannis continues to play center then you might as well give the NBA Finals MVP to Ayton cause he's going to have 20 20 games

Maybe there are ways to work it if Giannis can get back into the swing but that just looked desperate from Bud there. They aren't as well built a small baller as the Suns so trying to out small ball them is something that really will or won't work. So far, won't is winning.
