When the saltiest humans in the universe will start mistaking bad luck for malicious intent...


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...


Table salt and most sea salts all contain about 40 percent sodium by weight. Kosher salt and some sea salts may have larger crystal sizes than table salt, so they may have less sodium by volume (e.g., by teaspoon or tablespoon).

What is clear to me in game 1 and 2, is that the Bucks can hang... however they have an incredible knack for doing stupid **** for a couple possessions and dig a hole that they just can't get out of. The Suns have basically been playing perfect basketball. My heart says its unsustainable, and that it ends in MKE with the crowd.

I wonder how salty you will be when the Bucks lose in 5 to the first healthy team they've faced since Round 1.

Don't shoot the messenger. Hes telling you the truth.

The Bucks lucked their way to the Finals and are getting exposed. If they were that good they would beat this Suns team.

I will not be salty at all. I'm having a great time being in the finals. The Suns are a great team.

If you're ever in Milwaukee, or next time I'm in New York, we can sit down and have a couple beers and I can tell you all about how awesome being in the finals is! My treat!

Suns are good team though the bucks don’t have big man like the Suns , don’t having scoring like the Suns. The East is much weaker then west still. Outside of a healthy Brooklyn there isn’t much competition for the west. Jazz , clippers , lakers , nuggets would all be ECF winners or finalist if they were healthy. The nets if healthy could maybe get to wcf but they would get killed down low

The bucks can’t rebound when it’s needed . Last night they few chances to close the gap but let Suns grab 3 boards in possession. You’ll lose any game if you allow that to happen

I agree with the East being weak outside of the Nets. I don't think the Suns are that good though.

They would lose to the Clippers or Lakers at full strength. Possibly Denver as well.

They are the 4th or 5th best team in the NBA, but got a lot of injury luck. I don't expect them to make it past the 2nd round next year.

But you can't blame them for playing who they could. Would be the 2nd best team in the East.

I agree you can’t fault them , even though everyone’s did it last year … The Suns played who were in front them. From comparison standpoint is fair say this who they played and this what situations was like

How do you know they would lose to the clippers or the lakers at full strength? denver?

The Suns are a better team than the lakers if injuries didnt occur.

The nets were a big let down. Durant and Harden couldnt get the job done. Couldnt even make it to the finals. bust

Lakers had 2-1 lead before AD got hurt. The nuggets would be toss up honestly and the clippers have Kawhi I don’t see crowder stopping him.

The Suns won game 1 in a blowout when when everyone was healthy.

Then lakers adjusted and won 2 games in row before the injury . Since it’s series adjustments were made , if the lakers are healthy next season I hope we can face the Suns agian .

2-1 lead is fine.....

Does that prove that the lakers are better than the suns?

No.

It does not prove anything. I dont want to go back and fourth because this is an opinion and we all have one but the reality is no one can say who is better.

i just think its lame when fans think they know it all and literally have no clue. The suns were at the top of the standings mostly all year. How much proving do ya want ? beat the lakers 4-2 with a lebron lead team.......swept the nuggest with the mvp leading the nuggets... and beat the clippers 4-2 that had PG and a team with solid depth....(mavs took the clips 7 games with KL)

the suns are extremely young...everyone thought the pressure would be to much to handle....
