I do not think that she even said anything wrong! I mean she just spoke her mind and she wasn't ever rude, she didn't wanted anything ill for any other person, she wished Maria all the best in the world, she even said that because of the long time lack of diversity in the race and gender situation at ESPN this is a right move to have to get some other minority more screen time so that we could have more diversity, these all great things. And on top of that she just said it is not with her, find it somewhere else and that is a great move but she doesn't want to collab with another person right on the finals after not getting ready for it this close to the finals itself.

I believe Rachel was 100% polite, to the point, helpful, nice and also did nothing wrong, even that she apologized was literally only because it was leaked, otherwise all the executives could have learned this and nothing would have changed.

Yes, still no confirmation but he is questionable, better than doubtful.

It's good news for the Bucks especially those who bet on the series as Giannis will likely come back.
Game 1 without him, we don't know what would happen but the current Bucks line up is capable of winning as they have done that already.

Yeah, Giannis is back but still the favourite for game 1 is Phoenix. He looks like he has recover though, the spring is back, missing free throws  early.

And now they are falling on Phoenix game plan, fast paced, but the Suns are missing a lot of shots, so the game is very close right now, tied 45-45.

The win came from that mostly. 25/26 FT. It's just Jae Crowder who made a stain of that missed free throw end game. It could've been a perfect stat.
DeAndre Ayon. This guy took real good care of the painted area. 22 points and 19 freaking boards which is awesome when you are up against Giannis, Lopez, or even Portis. CP3 with the same performance as Game 6 at Clippers or better.
Let's see how the Bucks will react at Game 2.

Ayton surprised again. He’s playing like an MVP candidate this postseason. I can’t believe the Suns are looking like they might win it all. I wouldn’t have guessed that at the beginning of the year. Phoenix better keep Ayton under contract at any cost going forward. That guy is going to have a massive breakout season next year and be an all star. If he keeps getting better the Suns could be scary good.

Kendrick Perkins believes that CP3's journey to NBA Finals is amazing, he didn't hack the system by joining a super team like other star players. So if we win this NBA Finals, this would be a great achievement for him.

About game 1, I think that's great, I mean the Suns won the game but it's still game 1, the bucks will surely adjust and come back, I like to believe that this season will be a long one.

The final series has finally started. In the first game, Suns had a solid performance and managed to beat Bucks, 118 - 105.

C. Paul had a really great game. He got 32 PTS, 4 REB, 9 AST and was the most scorer of the game. Ayton's effort was also very big (22 PTS, 19 REB). At Bucks, Giannis has finally come back and played for 35 minutes. He got 20 PTS and 17 REB. It's not a bad performance though. He's newly bounced back in the end. In the second game, I expect Giannis to be better than now.

Game 2 would be different, if we like to back the Bucks, we should do that in game 2 and then bet on them in game 3 if they lose. I don't see this series to be another 4-0 win by the Suns, this should reach at least 6 games, and if goes in game 7, well, I should cheer for the Bucks to win.

Regardless of the performance of Giannis, I'm happy that he is back and healthy.

Bucks will bounce back in game 2, it should be a close game. 

But they are not the favorites, so I think there's no high pressure on Giannis winning but I believe they can beat the SUns.
Actually the Bucks this season have less expectation because the favorites are the Lakers and the Nets, so I like to see them prove people wrong now that the suns are heavily favored to win in the series.

The line is out, Suns are at -5.5 in game 2.
