Oh I have no idea anymore. Presumably Paul returns and helps Suns win over Clippers in 6 (Kawhi missing is too much in this matchup). Bucks may squeeze through vs Hawks (but they have been a great surprise to me, so who knows). Let's say Bucks over Suns in the finals (in 6?), but I base that on absolutely nothing.

76ers are a mess.

Suns in 6
Bucks in 6

Suns in 7 - I base that solely on Bud telling Brook Lopez to drop in the PnR against Paul and Booker, which is a suicide. And if there's one thing I know about Mike Budenholzer, it's that he won't abandon his tactics even if they are a suicide.

This Hawks run reminds me of Iverson pulling the 76ers to the Finals so it is possible we could see a Hawks finals here. I have faith in the Bucks winning it all though.

Btw didn't mention it before, but I had Trae averaging 35/10 against the Bucks. He's massively over that for now lol.

As I predicted (in the east) the Bucks made the finals.

Oh man, I just love these finals through and through. Kinda rooting for the Bucks but the Suns are a very likeable team too. Evenly matched, 2-2, either CP or Giannis are changing the Twitter narrative about losing. Legendary.

Some random observations:
- as soon as Lopez started playing less, the Bucks started winning. I love Brook but it's a suicide to defend Booker and CP (or any superstar player tbf) in the pick and roll with him. Doesn't even matter if he switches (that was a great adjustment by Bud against Hawks, gotta give the man credit where it's due), drops, half-drops but kinda staggers or anything else, he's just too slow unfortunately.
- Suns are the consistent team here, Bucks are as inconsistent as ever. Jrue and Middleton could be so much better. Not something we didn't know before, but still a huge factor.
- Monty Williams is an incredibly good coach and motivator
- CP has a huge amount of turnovers when being guarded by Jrue
- Suns stopped looking for Ayton for some reason
- Bucks defensive and offensive rebounding has been fantastic in the last 2 games, which makes sense when you have 2 huge guys on the floor 90% of the time. Plus Pat Connaughton and PJ Tucker are great rebounders.
- Bucks defense is top notch

Really happy for Bucks and Giannis. Couldn't miss today... And at least in the finals the two teams were (mostly) healthy.
