Best on Court through 2 Games so far:

Game 1.

3 votes Chris Paul - Masterful performance was quiet in the first quarter but after that Point God arrived.

2 votes Deandre Ayton - Monstered the boards, nearly a 20/20 game, defended well, couldn’t miss like a rare occasion when an average guy pulls girls left, right and center at the Saturday disco.

1 vote Khris Middleton - Thought he played well and kept the Bucks in it with a punchers chance.


Game 2.

3 votes Giannis Antetokounmpo - Monster after halftime. Said to the team then on the court F this I’m going try a solo a win, put the team on his back. Third quarter was all time. Superman stuff. Ice up the shoulders... big carry.

2 votes Devin Booker - Well amigo while you were going ham our team needed a little something something and I provided. Couple of huge threes.

1 vote Mikal Bridges - Ex 76er (lol) kept Khris quiet and was super efficient from the field. He said to his older brother... Look you maybe mini KD from time to time but I am the better sibling. Is he just a 3&D? Well I think not.

TBC, Suns in 5-6.

Is it humanly possible for Giannis to play every minute of Games 3 & 4?

Series is over. Congrats on the ring to the Suns fans, maybe it was a injury plagued ring but also maybe you should have won a ring in the Nash era.

Major props to Giannis for playing hurt and putting up legendary numbers, I will never doubt him again. Get him some help.

I have an issue with saying Giannis needs help....

The bucks are consistently good the past couple years and always have a shot to win it...

They are in the finals this year...he has the help..

Its not like the bucks are creeping into the playoffs or getting bounced right away....

I do not watch a ton of bucks games but to me for a team that has chances yearly just shows he has the help...

and this is just my opinion...

Gianiss does need help. He needs help in the off season to train to be a more complete player. He has to learn to shoot free throws, hit a jumpshot and equally as important he needs to learn how to make his teammates better.

If the Suns even get a small early lead in Game 3 the Bucks are finished. Bucks lack the mental fortitude to deliver when the momentum isn't on their side.

I think the Bucks can get a more favorable whistle and their role players can play better at home, especially Holiday but at the same time all these fluky Giannis midrange turnarounds and 3's are gonna brick at some point.

Let's not act like he wouldn't deserve it. Where did the Suns go before CP3 arrived?
Its an award strictly based on the 4-7 finals games and who was the best. Thats it.

Exactly and based on CP3 play so far he has a strong case to win it.

Giannis is 2-7 from 3 and he's shooting 49% on those midrange jumpers in the playoffs closer to the paint (10-16 feet). Giannis midrange goes broke when he's further out just inside the 3p line.

Not salty, just calling things like they are. History has a way of repeating itself so the Suns need to be on guard for what will inevitably come...
