If the Bucks win it all, I take it we won’t hear anymore about Giannis can’t win a championship as the best player on a team.

Also no more of Anthony Davis being better because he won a championship with LeBron

You shouldn’t hear that he can’t win a championship regardless because getting close and playing a team that isn’t vastly superior proves that the team is capable whether they win or not.

However, the Bucks had a series of injury breaks go their way that allowed them get here and be in position to play this good, not great Phoenix team.

So unfortunately, there will continue to be questions about the Giannis led Bucks.

yep. dude went inviso mode last night. guessing that's why coach sat him all that time to think about it...

You know he's gonna turn that performance around and bounce back big in game 4.
Bucks better be prepared to have an answer and someone (other than Giannis) to help offset it.

Told you all the days off the clippers didn't get in round 2 or the conference finals are being used in this series. Not 1 good reason to have 2 days off between games 3 and 4. The other I guess i get due to travel

I'm pretty sure the NBA had an agreement with MLB to not have game 4 on the same night as the All-Star game. ABC & Fox also concurred. Can't speak for games 5 & 6 though, other than it's probably for travel....but there's only 1 day off between 6 & 7 if it's needed...so there's that.

Those are some big ifs.

Giannis....

'Giannis Wall' motivates, humbles Bucks star

Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo marveled at the fact that teams, including Phoenix, are constructing defenses specifically designed to try to slow him. "It's about trust," he said. "And it's kind of hard, because ... you want to do everything."

DBook....

Booker forgets Game 3 woes with 'short memory'

After a rare off night for Devin Booker, the Suns star says he will "just move on" to focusing on Wednesday's Game 4.

Get over it, dude. The teams that have gotten this far have earned it.

If losing in the bubble wasn’t an excuse, then injuries as a result of the condensed season isn’t one either. Need I remind you that I had made this very prediction regarding injuries last summer and made my Suns finals pick accordingly the ensuing December knowing they’d be fresher and deeper than most contenders.

I have said at least half a dozen teams that they earned it and that there are no asterisks for injuries.

However, they did get extremely lucky. That is simply fact. Just like the 2019 Raptors for extremely lucky.

Saying that injuries would happen was obvious. Predicting that this many of the games very best players would miss games or be hobbled is a very different thing.

At least 2 of Phoenix’s opponents would have beaten them if full strength. And the Clippers didn’t have anywhere near the same wear that the Lakers did.

You got lucky.

Only a Barkley endorsement of your opponent is worth more
