Yeah, it looks like this is the end for the Los Angeles Clippers and Finally, the Suns reach the NBA Finals for the first time since 1976. It was a great battle between them and the Clippers. the fans should be satisfied with the kind of play they showed us. Whoever wins in the Eastern Conference Finals will have a hard time facing the Phoenix Suns because they are aiming for their first NBA championship win.

Well CP3 was on fire in this last game, deserved the win, he will definitely play as much as he can in these finals and I believe (in my opinion)  the Hawks will beat the Bucks, I feel Atlanta is playing with more desire and determination.

Any updates on Antetokounmpo's injury? I saw that he suffered a hyperextension of the knee, did he have an ACL tear or sprain?

Yes, me too, I'm very happy to see players like Cousins, DRose, Carmelo Anthony and others, having opportunities to play basketball again and show their work, and who knows in future to play an All-Star Game!!? I hope that one day that can happen, maybe.

I am one of the dudes that don't hate this guy even with all that drama that happened.
He is vocal, motivated, and pumped. He just wants to win in every possible way he can and his contributions made a big impact for the Clippers taking that 2 wins even without Kawhi. They might have lost the Conference Finals but he gave NBA players a big lesson that they cannot mess with him.
Imagine if players play the same way he did. It's like the 80's all over again and NBA won't be called soft anymore.

It's just about time, the closest he got is when he is playing with Houston together with Harden, they are playing the GSW that time and they have a chance, unfortunately, he got injured. Now, he will be happy and proud on reaching his first finals in like 16 years as a NBA player. And the Suns first after 30 years. And with the way he played, I think they will be the favorites against either the Bucks and the Hawks.

CP3 did really took over in the game, he doesn't want to bring the series into game 7.
I don't see the explosiveness of Paul George in this game, he wasn't as aggressive as he was in the last game, so we can really tell that the Suns are more hungry to win than the Clippers.


I guess this is true, but that was before the playoffs. Now the odds of the suns to win the NBA Finals is only $100 to win less than $100.

Right, it was a close out game that is for the ages, scored 41 points and then taunting Beverly, Lol, pushing him and he is thrown out of the game, what a cerebral player.

Even here in this thread, we have several discussions back about the chances of Phoenix, which is a long shot, now for those who have outright bet on them in the beginning, they have a good chance to win a windfall here if Suns became the champion.

When you are playing in the league for 16 seasons and you are one win away from going to the NBA Finals for the first time in your career, you will do everything just to go there and that is what CP3 did. During an interview, he can't say anything because of his happiness. That feeling when you are in the league for 16 seasons and finally you are going to the NBA Finals and 4 wins away from winning his first title.

Now unto the other conference. If Giannis will be out tomorrow in Game 5 and Trae will be out as well, I believe that the Hawks might make another upset again and win on the road. The Bucks might win though if Middleton will step up as well as Holiday and other players in terms of defense and offense.

Just my prediction but I think it will be Suns Vs. Hawks .

Both Giannis and Trae don't have that bad of an injury if there will be a chance to play, they'll do it.
Hawks have 3 players listed on their injury report as of this time. Trae, Bogdan, and Capela. Bucks only have Giannis on their list.
Fatigue will be their problem here if they all don't feel well upon playing the game. Capela is a big factor of the Hawks and so is Bogdan who had a big night at game 4.

But like you said, I don't see any of this team winning against the strong Suns team. The battle of adjustments for both coaches will be the big factor to see who can have the upper hand.

I think the bucks still have the chance remember the player who always finishes the game is Middleton, now that Giannis is not playing, it will be Middletons duty to lead the team they have lots of decent players, Lopez should also step up, who always show he can when it matters, like in the brooklyn series, i'll be happy, if both players can return, so that we don't have excuses who is better on those two remaining in the east.
