    Giannis played in game 4 and 5 and part of game 1.

    Miami closed out Milwaukee with Giannis on the court.

    Just thought I’d add something to this thread. This might be the first finals I won’t watch in all my years. Sigh….

    Is that because you can’t or don’t want to?

    Weird, for years you said you watched any game no matter what.

    Did your viewing habits change?!

    Quick question for the Cronin fans.
    Should Jody be interviewing Bob Meyers?

    Jody is too busy collecting illegal animal skulls to concern herself with improving Blazers management.

    I love the game. And yes I will watch summer league games like a dork…..but this finals matchups just seems absolutely horrible. Maybe my viewing habits have changed. I actually didn’t watch much of the east this playoffs for the first time in forever.

    Fact remains he missed games and I am of the opinion that the Heat do not get out of the first round with a healthy Giannis. I also feel they lose yesterday if Tatum does not turn an ankle and does not have to defer to Brown to score. He was noticeably hampered and the Heat absolutely took advantage of it.

    Nonetheless, it shows the line between losing and winning a title is thin. They were crushed by the Hawks in the first play in game.

    Jimmy had a bum ankle too. And Giannis didn’t miss 3 games.

    Tatum was health in Games 1, 2, and 3 and they lost them all. And Jimmy was hurt too.

    Not to mention Milwaukee’s one WIN was WITHOUT Giannis. Bucks have zero excuses,

    Definitely a valid opinion. Of course, injuries are a part of the game, and Miami has their fair share as well. I personally think that Bucks series goes the same way. Bucks got smoked in games 4 and 5 with Giannis. The team kind of had the bad luck of going through a period of poor play at the wrong time of year.

    These are both subjective opinions though, so I guess that is it. Haha
