Honestly going through all my quotes in your free time to try to score some points is pretty pathetic.


So is being a hypocrite.


I'm allowed to root for whoever I want. Imagine being pressed because somebody wants your team to win :lol:

Not a few are what you call the prisoners of the moment fans. Suns win 2 games, most are declaring confidently declaring it''ll be them winning the whole thing. Game 1, Middleton shot great but Jrue plays bad, Bucks still lose, he disappears in game 2-lost.
Game 3, bad shooting night for Booker, Suns lose.
Game 4, Booker shoots great but negated by Middleton, Suns win.
Game 5, all top 3 of Bucks players plays great game, they win...We've seen pretty much everything except for both Middleton and Jrue struggling from the field, which will likely happen tonight.


What exactly makes that likely? Nothing? K great.

You literally just told him to check your posts :crazy:


Yeah and yet his posts never addressed the fact that I liked Giannis. And even said so on the Bucks board after.

I'n glad youre so upset that I like a player on your team. The horror!

Does anyone remember that both of those games basicly came to one posession? If Jrue doesnt steal those 2 balls we could have been watching parade in Phoenix right now and at the same time talking how Bucks dont have what it takes...

Bucks closed 2 games in last minute and they deserved those wins, but its not like they played much better in these games...
Suns don't nees much adjustmenta, they just need one more shot to go in or one more stop to have than in last 2 games...

That said, i think Bucks are overwehlming favourites now, and i dont think Suns can win on the road with this unexpirienced roster... but anything can happen, its the NBA, where amazing happens :)


Yeah, I mean, I think Milwaukee has at least slightly outplayed Phoenix the past 4 games (in terms of getting what they want), but it's all been very hard fought games. Drives me nuts to see people counting their chickens already. I think this is probably headed to Game 7, and once we're at that point, the Suns are back to being the favorites again playing at home. A couple plays go the other way and Phoenix are the ones in the driver's seat right now. It shouldn't be shocking at all if Phoenix evens the series up tonight.

You might as well be writing your team off if you predict this is going 7. If you blow tonight it will be hard to recover in phoenix. It's hard to overcome a momentum swing this late in a series.


I disagree but I do think Phoenix is clearly favored in Game 7 if it works out that way. It wouldn't be shocking to me if Milwaukee were able to win in 7 but I would certainly consider them the underdogs in that event. They've shown they can win anywhere though.

You guys are making the thread about me. All I said was that Giannis is a good story and I like rooting for him.

Instead of being pressed you guys could just accept it. Instead of crying and fishing for my quotes about my predictions about the Bucks.

Nobody wants to hear this ****. Why not talk about the Finals instead? Why do you even care who I want to win?

This team completely dismantled a team that embarrassed them one year prior. This team went down 0-2 against Brooklyn and then blew a 17 point second half lead in Game 5 to close them out in 7. This team was punched in the mouth game 1 against Atlanta, and then choked away would should have been a gimme in game 4 to lose their perennial MVP candidate and win the final two games without him to close them on the road in 6. This team went down 0-2 to Phoenix and then won three games straight to have a close out chance at home.

Regardless of what happens. I think it'd be beyond dumb to count this team out even if they lost tonight given the consistent mental fortitude they've shown throughout the playoffs.

Don't strawman that statement. Saying it will be hard or unlikely isn't the same as calling it impossible. You can state all the motivational comebacks but you're not the only team who's resilient, Phoenix are a good team too, winning tonight would put historical probability on their side. The winner of game 7s usually go to the home team. 106-28.

edit just to add Overcoming a 2-0 deficit was hard enough even historically. Dont want to keep being in those situations. Closing it out tonight would be preferable.

Huh? You can't be serious. I'm not straw manning anything. You literally wrote and I quote, "You might as well be writing your team off if you predict this is going 7."
