2024 NBA Season

[yazher]

Giannis was injured now but he could return in the NBA Finals. If he can play then for sure he will not miss this opportunity to help his team to become a champion. The Bucks have missed a lot of opportunities, they are consistent in the Playoffs but they never reach in the NBA Finals, so they sure are very hungry to win.

If he won't play then the series would not be good as we expected since no one will guard Ayton. however, if he comes back at the right time, he will eventually match the power of the Phoenix Suns and have the chance to win this series. Looks like the tide is all going to the Phonix and this is kind of a chance that they don't need to let go since they can win the game one if Giannis won't play. then can secure their offence more often when no one like Giannis will depend on the rim.

As long as Lopez, Middleton, and Holiday are consistent, the Bucks still got a chance to upset the Suns in game 1 even without Giannis. Everyone is jumping on the Suns now as they thought the Bucks is nothing without Giannis, but if we look at the last 2 games in the ECF, they beat the Hawks and eliminate them. Let us also appreciate the ball movement of the Bucks, it's better without Giannis, and as proof, we can look at game 5 of the ECF where the starters score double digits.

I just imagine how big the pressure in their side now as Giannis is questionable to play in Game 1 but let see there if he will get a clearance since this could add more fire power and though defense to the bucks, but I doubt Suns will be so easy since we didn't expect that they will reach this far so I really expect to see an intense action since both of them really want to win the champ since they want to prove theirselves and get those rings on their hands.

They already feel the pressure when they play the Hawks, the Bucks are a good team, they have to trust themselves and they have to prove to the world that Bucks is not Giannis. If the Bucks would lose in game 1, I think it's still one game, and usually, the home team is likely to win, so let's say we give the 2 games to the Suns, and then Bucks will just have to even the series by winning game 3 and 4, and for sure Giannis will already be back at that time.

Lopez can guard Ayton and I don't think that Giannis will take on him even if he is going to play.

But his Phoenix is healthy and they have like more than a week of rest they should come fresh in game 1. The Bucks still need the services of Giannis here, he is the main man and for sure he will come back and play in this finals specially if they goes out of Phoenix with a 0-2 disadvantage.

That's true, Ayton wasn't even that effective when he was guarded by Zubac and Cousins, so I'm sure Lopez would also do a great job since he has more experience than Ayton, and taller as well. What makes Ayton getting good stats is because he is the only one big Center than would grab the rebounds and the recipient of CP3s alley oops.

But his Phoenix is healthy and they have like more than a week of rest they should come fresh in game 1. The Bucks still need the services of Giannis here, he is the main man and for sure he will come back and play in this finals specially if they goes out of Phoenix with a 0-2 disadvantage.

We have game 1 to see how these teams will play, let's see who gets the advantage and the disadvantage.

Lopez might not be as athletic as Ayton but with his height advantage over him, I also believe that he can guard Ayton as well.

I think that Phoenix will focus on outside shooting in this game instead of getting their points in the paint. We know how tall the Frontcourt of Bucks is. If Giannis will not play which is I think will not play in Game 1, I think that the Suns will open this series with the W.

Well, Game 1 is a game where they will see what the opponent of both teams can do and with that they will adjust coming into the next game.

[Reid]

Well, Game 1 is a game where they will see what the opponent of both teams can do and with that they will adjust coming into the next game.

Their season matchup was a close game so yes it will be a game of just trying to feel each other with a little aggressiveness.
Jae Crowder will be locked with Middleton, I believe he is one of their best defender in the Suns' roster so they'll put him in Bucks' best player.
Booker will have some time to rest if they'll make him defend Tucker but they will have to be cautious about it if offensive rebounds are soaring with Booker not winning against him.
I am looking forward to the adjustments that will be made for each game. We will see how good these coaches are after a loss.

A game of executions, both coaches have that skills as how we seen them adjusting from different opponents that they meet from the last semis series.

Though key players needs to play at their best to match up to whoever will guard them, both Paul and Holiday will have big impact to this first game, they both need to break the defense to create good plays for their teammates.

While, Booker and Middleton's offensives capabilities also need to show up to bring advantages. Best of luck to both teams lets hope that no more major injuries to happened while this finals is on.

I really do hope that the finals goes to 7 games, it would make the games so much more entertaining. I have been bored of the same finals over and over again, seeing the same people over and over again as well. This is the first time Giannis is to finals, this is the first time CP3 is in the finals, it is really major fun.

Last time Bucks were on finals it was 812 years ago, and same goes for Suns as well, it is really fun to watch these teams and these specific players. Lakers were always on finals before last year as well aside from that nearly 8 years or so stretch, Miami won 2 titles with Lebron, before that Warriors lost to Toronto which was nice I suppose but it was Warriors again, and before that it was cavs vs warriors for years. We are finally seeing something brand new and I want to really watch every single possible game so if they can make it 7 game series that would be awesome.

[Botnake]

I really do hope that the finals goes to 7 games, it would make the games so much more entertaining.

Everyone would love game 7, but it's not possible if Giannis will not come back in the series. He is the star player of the Bucks and I don't see the Bucks competing well with the Suns without him. Hawks are a good team, but not as good as the Suns, so we might not be able to see the Bucks lucky again.

Since Giannis is still not ruled out, his status is "day to day", let's all be positive that he will return.

If you are not betting at the same time, then you should not worry, but if you are a bettor and you side the Suns to win the series, you would love not seeing Giannis back in the lineup, and the opposite if you are betting on the Bucks. However, I think the fans deserve to see a great series and that means Giannis should be back in the lineup for them to give that to us.

This should not be a boring series where one team will dominate the other, and I'm talking about the Suns going to dominate the Bucks if Giannis will not return soon.

[harizen]

With an injured Gianni who leads his team on offense and defense? I wonder if they can last until game 7 though? Sun's completely dominate all the powerhouse team on West which is stronger to incomplete Bucks.

I think you weren't able to follow how the Milwaukee Bucks adjust when Giannis got injured. His teammates' step up and their offense quite become unpredictable since there are lots of options to make an offense unlike when Giannis is there wherein his moves were predictable but it's just that hard to defend.

Going back in a much harder series against the Brooklyn Nets, you won't see Holiday, Lopez, and the others having consistently good numbers. The offense was purely on Giannis and Middleton only at most games.

I'm not really considering the absence of Giannis as a disadvantage for them.  As of now, I didn't really know who has the upper hand on the series. I will just support my bet though regardless of the team that I will pick on per game basis.

[gagux123]

For sure Phoenix has a high chance to get the Championship. They are also very lucky this season by defeating all the power house team due to injuries of the opponent star player. Davis from Lakers, Murray on Nuggets, Kawhi Leonard from Clippers and now unhealthy Gianni from Bucks. Luck is on Phoenix right now.

Lady Luck also played a big role for the Phoenix Suns.
1st round versus LA Lakers - Anthony Davis injured.
2nd round versus Denver Nuggets - Jamal Murray injured.
Western Conference Finals versus LA Clippers - Kawhi Leonard injured.

And now for the NBA Finals - Giannis Antetokounmpo - injured.
This is the best time to win the championship. Take the lead while Giannis is still sitting on the bench with his hyper extended left knee injury.
Take 2 games win if possible and the road to championship will be silky smooth.

Yes, this is true, I feel the future is conspiring in favor of the Suns.

I believe for the Bucks to beat Phoenix, Giannis Antetokounmpo needs to be on fire, Lopez, Holiday, Middleton and others players need to play well, or if any of Phoenix's top players get injured (I hope that doesn't happen)

The Bucks could adjust to the most effective strategy even with Giannis on the floor, not having the star player is really a disadvantage but I'm not saying they have no chance of beating the Suns without him. May let's see what will happen in game 1, and find out if it really helps the Bucks not having Giannis in the roster.

Bucks have managed without Giannis and so far so good, they've been doing a great job. I hope they can round off this series in game 7 once and for all. They've come this fine, I would be glad if they close the series by tomorrow. Bucks have come a long way from going 2-0 against Nets and then doing a comeback to win the conference semis. Giannis played a big role andI know he would be missed when they go up against Suns in the finals (that's if they win tomorrow and finish the series.).

A star player does really play a great role and based off on contributions given on a particular game with his team then that would boost up some morale. Its totally different when you do lack specially if its the star player of the team.

I wasnt really expecting that much but its good that Bucks had manage out to close the series and now facing up Suns in the Finals which is the heavily favorite of this playoffs.

but i would still put my bet on Suns for this finals may closed on game 5 or 6.

I'm with you I like the Suns in this one in 5 or 6.  I've yet to really figure any of these series out so probably the Bucks in 7 lol.  Just hoping for a good finals. 

[goinmerry]

Going all-in for the Milwaukee Bucks.

Already placed a bet for them before Conference Finals to win the NBA Championship.

Outside online gambling, I was also at Bucks +1 to win the series. Giannis got injured that's why there are lots of Suns fans here around my place that willing to take the Bucks +1 to win the series.

Let's get it on and goodluck to all.

[chaser15]

Phoenix Suns are now under some statements that they are a lucky team to enter the Finals as all teams they faced during the playoffs are not healthy and in the upcoming Finals. the situation is still the same.

If only teams played in their healthy lineup, there's no question of what if here.

But on the other hand, they also entered the Finals without a superstar. Chris Paul might be but he is now on his retirement age.
