NBA Finals: (2) Suns vs (3) Bucks, Part 1 | Suns lead 2-0
Thought I'd start a thread on it.
Poll above.
I'm going Suns in 6. Don't think Giannis will be able to go, or not at full speed. And even if he could, Suns match up well with Bucks (5-1 vs them last 3 years) and apparently have no major injuries (guys can't play) at this time while DiVincenzo is out and Giannis is questionable for the Finals.
Nothing would shock me here, but I'm picking Phoenix to take it.
Series and FMVP odds (Suns favored to win series; Chris Paul the favorite for FMVP):

The Brodie = All-out energy
Best Canadian: Nash or SGA?

Stephen a Smith might enter a mini depression with that back and forth trip from Arizona to Wisconsin. ESPN in shambles

Congrats to both finalists.
Much as I d like to see the Suns win, don't think they can stop the Bucks with Giannis

They might. For the culture & the LOLz.

Everyone voting Suns in 4 is probably a Suns fan, everyone voting Bucks in 6 is probably a Bucks fan, take those out to see what the neutral fans think LOL

If Giannis is 100% Bucks in 6. They've gone through more adversity and IMO will be more mentally tough.
No Giannis, Suns in 5.

Both teams dethroned previous Conference Champs in the 1st round. Let's all hope everyone will be somehow healthy before the Finals start. Good luck to both teams!

Suns in 5. Hard to see Giannis being effective.
I'm hoping it goes 7 though.

Games 2 and 7 with just one day off between games. Should favor the deeper team.
Both of those games are/would be in Phoenix.

The 75 year tradition continues of a Knick or former Knick playing in every single Finals, with Langston Galloway and Bobby Portis.
