2021 NBA Finals: Phoenix Suns vs Milwaukee Bucks

CaptainCharisma

An unexpected finals series culminates a truly unpredictable playoffs, a refreshing break from tired forced narratives. Two of the many emerging teams that truly play for each other. Who's gonna finish the job and take home the 2021 NBA Championship? 

Phoenix aiming for their first NBA title, first finals appearance since 1993. 
Milwaukee aiming for their 2nd, first finals appearance since 1974.

Can CP3 complete his hall of fame career with a championship? Will Giannis be healthy enough to try and bring a title to his franchise? These two teams match-up well with their key and supporting personnel.

Kung sino manalo dito, deserve nila. Sobrang dami pinagdaanan ng mga team ngayon season. 

But I hope to see a Game 7.

Also, congratulations to Torrey Craig, 2021 NBA Champion

As good as the Bucks have looked without Giannis, you still need your superstar when it matters. No team has won the finals with their best player not playing at all. Let’s hope Giannis can be healthy enough to contribute para din naman hindi unfair sa Suns may validation hindi puro asterisk due to opponent injuries in all series

Yung mukhang mauuna pa si Tucker makapagchampion kaysa kay Harden. 😂 Dude thought he'd have a free ride to a ring by joining KD and Kyrie. 😁

Karma dun yan sa super teams, gusto lage mapadali buhay.. Mapa PBA or NBA man yan, it's refreshing to see these lower market teams making it in the NBA Finals, mas masarap panoorin ang ganito, di given nag mananalo.. 

CaptainCharisma

Happy for Jrue Holiday too reaching the finals, consummate pro and sportsman, plays hard on both ends all the time. For me yung clutch shots and plays niya in Game 7 regulation gave the Bucks enough to survive KD's onslaught. Bucks gave up king's ransom for that missing piece but they had to do it to stabilize their playoff play, something Bledsoe can never do. 

It's gonna be fun seeing CP3 and Jrue do their work at the biggest stage.

Suns in 6 or 7.

Bucks or Suns is fine with me as NBA champs, and I don't consider either teams as "pretenders" just because they faced teams with injuries during their playoff runs this season. Hopefully Giannis will get enough rest to be healthy before Game 1 starts in a few days.

westhaven

Medyo off-topic lang. Hawks have a bright future too. Ang ganda at ang bilis ng rebuild nila since that 2014-15 core of Millsap, Teague, Korver, Horford and Carroll. Now, they have a promising young core of Trae Young, John Collins, Kevin Huerter, Cam Reddish and Deandre Hunter.

Jalen Rose on this year's 2021 Playoffs and now NBA Finals:

'If you look at the landscape of the current playoffs, of each of the teams, none of them have won a championship since the merger [of the National Basketball Association and the American Basketball Association, in 1976], and a couple of them haven’t won it in the history of their franchises. That’s great for the game.'

I'll root either of the two teams. Suns for CP3 and Bucks for Giannis (ripe for the championship). Just enjoy the game and congratulations to both teams. Both of them are winners for me regardless of the outcome of the finals. Hats off to both teams. They give them their best shot.

Via Shams,  Giannis Antetokounmpo will play in Game 1.

Praying this isn’t a KD or AD situation. He looked pretty great in the warmups, though there is a major difference between warmups and an actual game. 

CaptainCharisma

hoping Janice is actually good to go and doesn't aggravate his injury, and hopefully he blesses us with some finals size airballs  

bigboy0101

Giannis looks pretty good. 

westhaven

Sana di muna pinaglaro si Giannis. Parang nakasira pa sa rhythm nila yung premature comeback niya. They were in momentum coming into this game. Oh well...

bigboy0101

Only Middleton showed up for the Bucks.

The only positive other than that is Giannis. There were still some hesitation but he looks good, his chase down block though

westhaven

Even si Jrue Holiday nawala. Anyways, Game 1 palang naman. Pero yung Game 2, it's a must-win for them. Suns are pretty good on the road this postseason.

CaptainCharisma

ok na din na naglaro si Giannis para less doubts, after all the injuries, the playoffs deserve a culmination where both finalists are complete

ang importante hindi nag-aggravate injury ni Giannis

CaptainCharisma

Dario Saric tore his ACL, get well soon. At least part of the process made it to the finals.
