2021 NBA Finals: (2)Phoenix Suns vs (3)Milwaukee Bucks

Re: 2021 NBA Finals: (2)Phoenix Suns vs (3)Milwaukee Bucks

I think Phoenix was just playing really great basketball at the right time. AD going down was big, as well as the other injuries mentioned, but Phoenix was playing well enough to beat anybody regardless. They looked to be running out of gas towards the end, Bucks kept getting better as games went on. That combination didn’t work well for Phoenix.

I get saying they were lucky, but I don’t think it’s fair to word it as such that it discredits either team. Almost every championship team has some degree of “luck”.

That’s assuming he would be playing at all because his issue wasn’t discovered until after he was traded when players were going thru their physicals.

Forgot about this part of it all [emoji1360][emoji1360][emoji1360]

Injuries do happen and nothing will take away from the Bucks season. they are the champs forever.

But Phoenix had the luckiest breaks run arguably of all time. Down 2-1 about to go down 3-1 and then no more AD. No Murray in Denver. No Kawhi in LAC. Etc.

Please do not compare ****ing Donte D and Saric to freaking AD, Kawhi, Murray, Kyrie, and Harden though. That's beyond laughable

I wasn't, not sure where you got that from. I'm just pointing out the two teams weren't as healthy as you portrayed them with your post. I can compare the Giannis injury and scare to all of those injuries.

The Suns did lose depth without Saric and the Bucks lost Donte's hustle and rebounding.(not his shooting, lol)

So, each team did lose something, but not on the scale of the Harden's, Kryie's, and Kawahi's.

Plus how many did he hit when they were up like 2, 3, 4 and just needed one more bucket to put it away. He had some really bad games, and they were noted lol, but every chance this dude had to put a game away it felt like he just nailed it lol.

Let's not act like even the best 2 teams were in the Finals but two of the healthiest. There's a reason the Nets and Lakers are already the betting favorites for next year.

This is just a crazy take.

The defending champs and the super duper team losing because of injuries is a crazy take?

It definitely came out before the last game, maybe the one before it too. Not sure he got another one of the exact shots mentioned in the last game though. Still he hit that dagger when they were up like 4 or 6 to basically put it out of reach.

Phoenix starting PG got hurt the first game of the postseason, and they lost that same PG for the first two games of the WCF due to covid protocol.

They had bad breaks to fight through too.

**** happens man.

They still beat Bron, PG, Joker, and Reggie Jackson playing as Batman too.

Now the Lakers aren’t a superteam but Kyle Kuzma, Trez, Dennis and what would ultimately be the 30th pick of the draft is a sufficient trade package for Portland to trade Damian Lillard. [emoji196]☕️

I wasn't around but it seems like the bball forum on here peaked with posts/users around 2010-2011, right? Surprised Warriors/Cavs has more posts than that era does.

Calling KCP the their 3rd best player implied that I was talking about last season for starters when they were labeled a super team after giving up “too much” for AD. (KCP was also *** this season so that wouldn’t make sense). And they had a roster half full of guys nobody else wanted, even added Dion and JR for good measure, which made it humorous to me that they were labeled as such.. Which is part of why I posted. Didn’t know it would activate your Skip senses.

And they weren’t a super team when they traded a package away for AD, Nets weren’t considered a super team because they had a package for Harden, Houston wasn’t a super team for having a package to get Westbrook, Toronto not a super team for having a package to get Kawhi.. do I need to keep going on about how having a package to land an All-Star doesn’t = super team, or are you only here because this was related to LeBron per the usual?

Also it’s the 22nd pick. And yes the other might be 30 although Bron would likely be retired by then and AD snapped in half so who knows it could also be top 5 [emoji2371].

And I already backtracked on my post about that trade when I said y’all were right that Portland wouldn’t trade Dame without getting them 1.) closer to a ring, 2.) full rebuild, neither of which that package would fit without other big moves they can unlikely make.

And are you calling them a super-team after telling me everyone one of those guys were trash? [emoji848] I think you called them toilet paper actually lol. Flushable *** trash.

Also if they’re a super team and all it takes is no Bron for them to be awful, like a lot of his other “super teams” are you ready to come to grips with the fact that he’s what is making them super?
