    That was the only thing I could come up with, as well. Thus the "fight doctor secrets" comment.

    But there is talk they would at least consider it to get something out of Love vs buying him out and getting back nothing.

    Looks like the Suns' Dario Saric is out with a torn ACL.

    Like in the first game, Suns made a run in the 2nd qtr. Got the lead and it’s over for the Bucks

    I predicted on the podcast that the Bucks would go down 0-2 then come back to win the series...so far so good

    Either the best prediction, or the absolute worst prediction, at this juncture. Haha

    I’m really hoping the bucks win

    But if Phx wins that’s their first ever championship which is cool for the phx fans.

    PHX has had some decent teams in their franchises history too with the Barkley era and the Nash era. They were the biggest threat to Kobe and the Lakers for many years. I remember being at Benihana's during the playoffs one year talking to my grandpa about the game and all I remember is that Leondro Barbosa just wouldn't miss.

    Same time though the Bucks have only won one and that was 6 years before us in '71 - and I'm a big fan of Giannis, I think he absolutely deserves to say that he is an NBA champion before he's retired. Kind of like Dirk, not to discredit the team mates but Giannis is the superstar caliber player.

    Should have been a poll attached asking who we want to see win

    Whoever this "SlyPokerDog" rookie is

    Been saying all along this series will probably go 7 games. Right now I'm saying lets see how game 3 comes out?

    Underrated fuck-up (one of many) of the Sixers was trading this guy (a local guy! Who wanted to play for them!) for Zhaire Smith and a pick:

    Bucks win game 3 with Middleton and Holiday redeeming themselves. But Suns in six.

    Probably a solid pick and roll. I feel like Jesus would coach like Popovich...

    Also Monty Williams has been through a lot; and he was with us for a while. Seems like a good man, would enjoy seeing him win a championship too.

    Really im just glad its these two teams honestly.
