Well that went well...

What a shitshow. They played like the 2018 Suns. Booker hero ball and iso. Timid Ayton. Weird rotations that made little sense. CP3 was also slow and off, playing like he did when he first joined the team.

Onto game 6. Hopefully they revert back to the play-style and energy that got them the Denver sweep.
They need to push and run the ball in transition , cp3 is too slow and slowing everything down allowing for the clipper to set up D

Need a big game from the hawks to stay off elimination. Either way it will be a suns Finals 5 games unless some crazy injury happen.

Bucks seem to be playing better basketball with out Gianis. Maybe he can sit out for the first couple of games .

That uncomfortable feeling when you’re supposed to be one of the top 3 best players in the league but your team plays better without you.

Giannis has been upgraded to "questionable" from "doubtful" status, so it's possible he might make an appearance tonight.

I'd rather he didn't since he'll be hobbled and at high risk to hurt his knee far worse. That's the kind of injury that knocks you out for a month during the regular season.

Anyways, Suns in 5. Here's a scary picture of Ayton from the WFC parade last week, you know, for good luck or whatever.

Y'all had a parade to celebrate getting to the finals?

Now I hope the Suns lose every game by 80 points.

It's been 28 years since they've been to the Finals. Only the third time since the team was founded in 1968. They've never won a championship.

You bet there was a parade, and rightly so.

Now I feel terribly old because I still remember that.

Spoiler:
Oakley's battles with Barkley were legendary.

The Nuggets have never been to the Finals.

If they ever get there, there will absolutely not be a "we got there" parade. That's insane. You ain't done shit if you don't win it all.

Suns 118, Bucks 105. Phoenix has won all opening playoff series games this year.

Sun should push the ball a bit more and especially with booker or Payne , cp3 is still playing slow basketball.

Their/your loss. No shame in celebrating getting to the Finals, or winning the conference title and trophy.

Sure, why not? Winning a conference is no easy task by any means.

Denver has won enough. It’s time for Denver to suffer like everyone else.

Last time the Nuggets played in a basketball final was the final year of the ABA and lost to the New York Nets in 1976. They haven't been to an NBA Finals period.

But on a happier note the Nuggets were the first 8th seed team to beat a top seed in Seattle, then almost doing the same to 2nd seeded Utah but losing in the 7th and deciding game.

If every player on the Nugs was made to eat a heaping bag full of wangs, I would put on a parade.

Murray is pretty clutch , after the injury he might not the the same player and that big contract . Problem now is that these huge contracts is what keeping them from getting free agent they have fill out the roster with veterans minimum players . I think atl hawks window are closing after Collins and young get their money , they would have the Denver problem of retaining players, they lost Torrey Craig, Jeremy grant and Malik Beasley which are all solid players .
