Series Thread: 2021 NBA Finals: Milwaukee Bucks vs. Phoenix Suns

Not YET

If Giannis plays there his whole career and leads them deep into the playoffs a few more times, I'm quite sure Milwaukee fans won't even think twice on who their guy is.

Their guy, but not THE guy.

Meh, tomato, potato

And what happens next year when the Lakers, Clippers, Warriors and Jazz are all healthy and you're the #5 or #6 seed?

Will the guard still be changed?

Wanna recant?

Wanna recant?

The idea of Phoenix falling to #6 was always going to be a laughable one to begin with.

Wanna recant?

Have any of the teams I mentioned been healthy?

 

[Wamu]

Have any of the teams I mentioned been healthy?

Well let's see here.

Lakers- nope

Clippers- nope

Warriors- nope

Jazz- nope

But that won't matter to him. He seems like the type of person that thinks the Earth is flat.

Maybe that's the part to recant ('when the....are all healthy')

But let's be fair, the Suns would still be the #1 seed even with all those teams having better injury luck

We don't know yet if it's a regular season thing like Utah always seems to do, but credit where it's due

Oh gawd! Here we go again with injuries…

Injuries helped you get as far as you did last year. This year your team is stronger. But injuries play a role in almost every championship, it's just how the game works. 2021 was especially injury plagued among the playoff teams. Doesn't diminish anyone's title.

Yup. If the Suns win the championship this year I bet there will be a lot of if “Insert team name here” was healthy they would’ve beat the Suns.

CP's liable to get hurt at any moment given his age and injury history.

Played in 70 games the last 2 years and before that 58.....3 years ago.

So by my calculations he has 1 or 13 reg season games left in him.

The only thing I would do is be fucking pissed. I wouldn’t use it as an excuse to belittle another teams championship run.

I'm not belittling anything, just posting some facts.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Suns had a great run last year, they just ran into a buzzsaw in the Bucks.

I didn’t say you, or anyone.

 

[ChrisperJ10]

The one good thing that came out of last years run was for this Suns team to get playoff experience.

They do that every year. It means nothing. Obviously the Raptors don't win in 2019 vs a full Warriors squad. Still a great accomplishment and a legit title.
