Understatement of the year. That was an ass whooping from tip off to buzzer.
All three of their stars just disappeared. I think a performance that atrocious in a game 7 at home cements Paul as an also ran; a great regular season guy, but can't get it done in the playoffs even with talent around him.
the Suns with all their stars scored 27 points in the first half. Luka scored 27 points in the first half and the other Mavs scored 30 in the first half. and it didn't get much better in the second half for the Suns. no adjustments, nothing. Luka, Dinwiddie and Brunson scored 89 points in the game the entire Suns team scored 90

Maybe. But the Bucks were on the road and missing their 2nd best player. Phoenix can't say the same.
I'm not going for any of those excuses. Two of the Bucks 3 wins were on the road this series. They were missing Middleton the entire series and got it to game 7. And they were up big early in this game and ended up getting blown out. It would be the game 7 collapse by the defending champs we would be discussing if the other team from last years finals had even bothered to show up at home for their game.


But both are great examples of how hard it is to repeat in the NBA; shows just how impressive back to back and threepeats really are.
