    Time to fire up the ol’ reverse jinx:

    CPflop is going to stay super healthy.
    Booger and Chowder are going to shoot lights out.
    Ayton will be Hakeem-esque.
    Rat face is going to ball like mvp iverson.

    Suns are just rolling. I don’t see the Bucks beating them. I’m thinking Suns in six.

    I find it..ironic(?) that everyone else’s bodies have given out and Chris Paul is the one still standing. But I’m not hating on them, if they win, they win, still counts. It was nice that Giannis was able to play as well, would have to be crushing to miss your first finals in that fashion.

    If healthy, we beat either of these teams with our current roster.

    don't know how giannis is not only able to play, but look healthy for the most part after that injury. looked like one of those season enders

    CP3 and Booker might be one of the top 10 most dangerous offensive backcourts ever. They're something else.

    Their good, but great???? We'll see. My guess is they won't come close to repeating, even if they stay healthy. I am slayed because we were killing these guys, we should be getting our second ring this year. Worst year ever.

    Some examples:
    Magic & Scott, West & Goodrich, Kobe & Fisher, Curry & Thompson, Harden & Paul, Kidd & V Carter, Drexler & Smith, Kevin Johnson & Dan Majerle, Dennis Johnson & Gus Williams, Lilliard & McCollum, Wall & Beal, Oscar & Lucius Allen, Ray Allen & Rondo, Frazier and Early Monroe, Isiah Thomas & Dumars.

    I can't believe a team, that we would have swept (if healthy) is about to win NBA Championship :(
    Bron better be on board with load management and stuff...

    A couple observations about the Suns.
    All 3 of their Western Conference opponents were missing or had injuries to their Top Player(s).
    MIL is one of the weakest Eastern Conference Champs I've seen in some time. No one besides Giannis can play more than one good game in a row. Even Miami was last year was more consistent than these guys.

    It is what it is ... AD sat 10 weeks after the Achilles/calf pb and still couldn't stay healthy after coming back .

    Probabilty of both Bron and AD being healthy for future playoffs runs is getting lower and lower

    WTF is this 4th quarter foul with Cam Johnson in agony on the floor like a “Chris Paul” on a nothing contact from Giannis. That’s what a flopper like Paul does for your team … infects everyone with that cheating mentality. Add it to the Cons side of the ledger what he brings.

    bucks wouldn't even be in the finals if kyrie hadn't gotten injured

    both of these teams have gotten extremely lucky in regards to playing teams with injured stars

    so, booker commits a 6th and 7th obvious foul, and the refs just look the other way?

    if i'm milwaukee, i welcome a streetfight with the small suns.

    and phx just whining about all the calls when they're mugging guys left and right. every replay shows that they're fouling. are you tough guys or not?
