I disagree Bucks is not only more talented than Phoenix but just all around better.

Phoenix has yet to be battle tested by a healthy team,AD got hurt first round,No Jamal Murray second round,No Kawhi third round these boys would’ve been home along time ago. Granted had Brooklyn been healthy Bucks would’ve been home as well but the fact Suns haven’t taken any teams best shot is a concern.

Suns only beat Milwaukee first game by 13 with a timid and rusty Giannis only scoring 12 points? Then won game 2 by only 10 with Middleton playing like shyt and Jrue being average at best. If both these teams are clicking on all cylinders Suns won’t win another game I bet you that.

Giannis went for 20 and 17 in game 1 and the eye test indicated he played about as well and as aggressive as one could have asked. Middleton gave them 29 too. Phoenix lost game 3 by 20 after Booker's worst playoff game ever and Jae Crowder nearly leading the team in scoring.

Phoenix (who is 7-2 in their last 9 games versus Milwaukee, regular season/playoffs) played who was in front of them. Teams deal with injuries all the time and if you do it right, your team is constructed to survive MOST injuries. Milwaukee didn't get Brooklyn's best shot and then in the ECF, Trae Young sprained his ankle in game 3 and went on to miss games 4 and 5 while playing like a shell of himself in game 6. Giannis went down too, but it was clear that Milwaukee had more firepower in the tank to where they (without their best player) could beat Atlanta without their best player at 100 percent.

If Phoenix -- whose best offensive player has largely been mediocre ever since he broke his nose and literally won 2 games off the Clippers without its team MVP -- hasn't been battle-tested, then neither has Milwaukee.

My man Giannis just had 2 back to back 40 point games and been putting it to every team in the playoffs damn near every game he was not himself game 1.

What? Giannis and Middleton and most of that core has been in the playoffs the last 3 years playing against the best the East has to offer :mjlol: this Suns team is NEW and none of those guys Booker Ayton Bridges has been tested at all they got extremely lucky.

Milwaukee best 3 is better than Phoenix best 3 and the core is better,as I said Milwaukee at its best will beat Phoenix anytime at their best

I get the extended day off between game 2 and 3 with the series shifting to milwaukee…surprised at this extra day off tho when there was only a day off between game 1 and 2…oh well, it is what it is
Yeah it's almost always been 1 day of rest when it's in the same city. Spooky. This pushes game 5 to sat instead of Sunday too.

The scariest thing about the Bucks is their size advantage.If Ayton gets in foul trouble, it's a wrap.Unless the Suns can get hot & knock down 20 3's.Just have to win one of the next 3 games to guarantee a game 7 at home.I think that's exactly how it will play out.This shyt's going 7.Can't wait
