The amount of Brooklyn apologists on ESPN this morning is amazing. They aren't even mentioning that the Bucks won, just that Brooklyn was riddled with injury and should be the favorite again next year.

I'd be surprised if the Bucks don't win in 4 or 5. I still don't buy the Hawks. The Sixers are just spazes.

Yeah me neither. Trae has a tough matchup with Jrue Holiday and I'm not sure who stops Giannis from doing his barging into the lane thing all game if he decides not to shoot jumpers.

To be fair, a healthy Brooklyn trio knocks out the Bucks easy.

I saw him play in person a couple years ago from about the 12th row. He is the truth, man.

No doubt.
Are you guys chomping at the bit to put a big asterisk next to a Bucks Suns Finals?

A healthy Lakers team knocks out Phoenix…

Devin Booker doesn't airball free throws and can get a good shot for himself when the clock is winding down. It makes a difference.

So between 1969 and 2015, the Hawks had 6 road playoff wins

In 2021, they have 5.

Trae Young has 6 30+ point or better games in his first playoffs.

I'm sure Kyrie will have more "personal" days next year to combat his depression after finding out the earth isn't flat. And toothpick ankles Durant will have to carry the team because Harden will grow unhappy about something.

I hope you're right but it's not like he's ever been particularly athletic. He'll be fine as long as the NBA decides that travelling is okay and keep rewarding flopping/all his antics.
