NBA 2020-2021 Season

Yeah Divincenzo is definitely a big absence. If Phoenix wins the series I won't take anything away from their title because they were a really good team overall but this year more than any others feels like the run to the Super Bowl. Team with the least injuries usually comes out on top.

Both games have been very fun to watch at least. Some incredible shots and physical play. I worry Devin Booker will be murdered on his way to Finals MVP.

Giannis is very good 

[Pooker]

Is he good enough to beat this Suns team three more times?

I think so. Obviously Middleton needs to show up and Holiday just needs to build off of game 3 but Giannis has a different edge to him right now. He's locked in and knows what he's playing for. And the Suns don't seem to have an answer for him, especially if Ayton is in any sort of foul trouble. 

It seems like the series might be heading in the same direction the Nets series did in which the home teams win out and then it's all down to a game 7 and anything can happen.

Tonight feels like a good night to go 3-1!

No it doesn't!

I'm thinking Phoenix wins tonight, then closes it out at home.

Candace Parker will be the first woman on the cover of 2K.

Has Kareem Abdul-Jabbar always been a Bucks supporter or just this year with them making the Finals? I know he played for them when they last won a title, but, as far as I know, he's had nothing to do with them since he went to the Lakers.

He's been around off and on the past few years.

Booker should have been fouled out like 3 times but what a win!

[LL!]

I can't believe this comedy of errors happening to the Suns right now. 

[JasonM]

The non-calls on Booker at the end were an absolute refereeing shitshow, but since the Bucks won they won't do anything about it.

Even as someone who is rooting for the Suns in this final, the refs are appalling and shouldn't come back for game 5 after that farce at the end. They were doing everything in their power to manipulate the game.

In coaching carousel news...

 

[gunnar hendershow]

Sure. He's obviously franchise royalty and has very strong ties to the team and entire region.

[livid]

And it has begun!

The Knicks are apparently at the top of his list.

[The Buscher]

Supposedly his top four choices are the Knicks, Lakers, Warriors, and Heat.

As a Knicks fan I'm still very much conditioned to assume they aren't going to land the superstar player.  A Lillard trade almost certainly starts with RJ Barrett and four first rounders (some picks, some swaps).

[GhostMachine]

As long as Dolan is the owner, I question the sanity of anyone who wants to be a Knick for any reason other than money.
