Please please please please end this in 5 because the 20th is going to be a very very nervous/scary day for my family.

Suns are about 60% to win the NBA Finals. Amazing.

This Finals will be the ultimate test of the extent, if any, to which size/beef still matters in the NBA. Unlike last year's Finals, where the Lakers had a clear advantage over Miami in both size/beef and skill, this year I believe the Suns have the clear advantage in skill, while the Bucks have the clear advantage in size/beef. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, and if size/beef somehow prevails it will be interesting to see if and how James Jones responds in terms of roster construction...

and Ernie. Kenny is the only one who picked us. That’s fine... I think Barkley picked against us in every series. This series is no different and we’ll keep busting his ***.

BRING ON THE FU%#S!

Ernie and Kenny are the two of the four to whom I give credence. Interesting that they are split...

We’ve gotten zero respect all playoffs. I don’t expect us to start getting any now. Even though we’ve been the best team in the league since we started 8-8.

People are trying to make us some Cinderella story. It’s garbage. We’re the best team in the NBA and everyone is going to know it by the end of the Finals.

Amazing season regardless!! No one in the world thought suns would get this far

Hoping for best

 

[TJ]

All I know is I’m going to be a massive ******* for the next two weeks or so.

And I’ll be at game 5 if this series gets there

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

On one hand, I don’t hate Milwaukee nearly as much as the Clippers, Lakers, even Denver. On the other hand, Bud spurned us for Milwaukee. Time to go for the throat.

Looks like Torey Craig is gonna get his first ring no matter what. Lets hope its a Suns logo in diamonds

Pretty sure he wants to earn his ring rather than get it on a technicality.

I hope we can close them in 5.

Did anyone watch Heat vs. Bucks last year? Did Crowder guard Giannis?

I think I remember DA making G **** work for everything near the rim. no pun intended'
Yes Crowder has guarded Ganus in the past not sure how well. I remember seeing a video somewhere.
Middelton will have to guard Dbook hopefully that'll wear him out and he wont be as effective on the attack.

 

[GatorAZ]

Suns in 5 because PJ disrespected Filibertos.

Did anyone watch Heat vs. Bucks last year? Did Crowder guard Giannis?

Bam Adebayo guarded Giannis for the most part, other than in Game 5, which Giannis missed due to injury. Crowder guarded Lopez for the most part for the first 4 games, and Lopez averaged 19 points and 5 rebounds on 26-46 shooting from the field.

Eric Bledsoe was laughably atrocious that series. I must admit having a sense of satisfaction watching him blow that series almost single-handedly...

5 Takeaways from Heat vs Bucks series

The Miami Heat are advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals. Here’s some takeaways from their 5-game series with the Bucks.

Curtain unveiled on Heat’s playoff lineup switch, Giannis-stopping defensive approach

Erik Spoelstra prefers the curtains remain closed, well beyond any at the makeshift practice courts at Disney World amid the NBA’s quarantined restart. But as the Miami Heat wait to see what&…

First article... talks about how good Crowder was defending Giannis in the early part of the series...

Second article, a series retrospective, talks about how Bam has developed well but his assignment on Lopez left him often exposed as Lopez scored a lot outside against him.

Third article, heaps praise on Crowder for his heavy work load covering Giannis until he got injured.

Your take is complete, made up, nonsense. I doubt you watched a single minute of those games.

Just root for the team and stop trying to **** on everything.

That was one of the funnier threads on here. How DARE he make a mess in 'bertos, hanging out with women on an off day!
