Finals (with Giannis playing) is one of the few series (if any) without a key injury this postseason.Um, well...same as the Suns really

The injuries thing cracks me up. Injuries are part of the game. And there is no doubt, they can certainly make or break your season. However, when you try to build a super team with older players or injury prone players, don't be shocked when your season comes to a screeching halt! The Suns and Bucks have simply played the competition that is in front of them and won. The Bucks had to win without Giannis at times and the Suns have had to win without CP3 at times. Everyone can speculate that the Suns or Bucks wouldn't be here if it wasn't for their opponents injuries, but speculation is not fact.
And... when the same thing happens to the Lakers or Nets or Clippers next year, which if you are playing the odds, you can almost guarantee it will happen to at least one of those teams, remember, father time is undefeated and injury prone players are just that.
It is refreshing to see teams that were primarily built through the draft make a run at the title. A changing of the guard is long over due.
Well, it is... if your a Suns fanlol @changing of the guard.
Refreshing? 2015, 2017, 2018 were the same way.The injuries thing cracks me up. Injuries are part of the game. And there is no doubt, they can certainly make or break your season.

I know that. My post was directed at the peeps/fans lamenting and bellyaching to death about that issue.I don't think teams are doing it so much as their fans are.

They were one win away from the best record in the league this year and they were 3 -0 against the Jazz who had the best record. Is that a fluke?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?
Of course, it is a factor. It's part of the game. When you invest a lot of stock in oft-injured or aging players, you are simply playing the odds it won't happen.Refreshing? 2015, 2017, 2018 were the same way.
And yes injuries are part of almost every title and all titles are legit. That doesn't mean they aren't a factor.
Agreed. Suns took that risk with Chris Paul and got luckyOf course, it is a factor. It's part of the game. When you invest a lot of stock in oft-injured or aging players, you are simply playing the odds it won't happen.
Super lucky when CP3 got COVID and injured his arm and tore ligaments in his wrist.Agreed. Suns took that risk with Chris Paul and got lucky
Yes, super lucky he wasn't done like he has been so many times before in the playoffs. You just said, teams that bring in injury prone old guys are playing with fire. CP3's picture is in the dictionary next to "injury prone old guys". You got lucky, enjoy it. I'm rooting for the Suns by the way.Super lucky when CP3 got COVID and injured his arm and tore ligaments in his wrist.

Do you honestly think they get past the Lakers in the first round if AD stays healthy? Lakers were up 2-1 when he got hurt.They were one win away from the best record in the league this year and they were 3 -0 against the Jazz who had the best record. Is that a fluke?
Bucks SG D. DiVincenzo (66 starts) isn't playing due to an injury. But so far they don't seem to be missing him too much.
