Congrats to CP3 and the Suns, the Los Angeles
Brewers pull their normal. Role players can only play out of their ass for so long. Guys like Reggie Jackson, Marcus Morris, and Terrance Mann may give you 1 or 2 great games per series and that is the norm. In a 7 game series that doesn't allow a team to advance if your best player is out.
They got by Utah because Mann played the 1 game of his life scoring 39, he didn't do anything vs the Suns. PG played well in this series, he isn't a Batman though, he is the perfect Robin however. If Leonard had been there, who knows how the series would've turned out but he wasn't. PG is perfect along side Leonard, or a LeBron or Durant for example but he can't carry a team for a whole series. On those Pacers teams of 2013 and 2014 that reached the ECFinals he was their best player but David West was the true leader.
Glad the Suns won because unless you guys get on a lot of basketball websites and read the comments, many think the NBA is rigged. Many were saying that if the Clippers would've won this series, some were using terms like 'phony bologne'
after Game 5. I thought the Clippers beating the Jazz without Leonard in Game 5 and Game 6 was fishy myself. If the Clippers would've beat the Suns without HCA vs a Top 10 PG in league history (CP3) many would've been outraged. Believe me I have read 1000 comments. When it comes to Bucks/Hawks nobody has said much because both are small market teams that never do shit anyway. ESPN clearly wanted Clippers/Nets once the Lakers were eliminated and wasn't hiding it one bit. Molly Q on 1st take is on record saying Milwaukee and Phoenix are terrible cities, that is so disrespectful and so untrue. She apparently hasn't been to either city. Anyone that put Indianapolis down like that would be getting an e-mail from me letting them know they need to stay in their lane. Don't ever disrespect another person's city when you don't know what the hell you are talking about. Your parents teach you that in grade school. I would put my basketball knowledge up against anyone on 1st take, even Stephen A. I could throw out something like who won the NBA Championship in 1974 or in 1978 and those people would look scatterbrained/clueless
. I know my history even before I started watching. How about a question like was Ben Coleman white or black
. He played Center during the 80's and 90's, I bet 75% of people that follow basketball would get that wrong. They would probably be like who is that??
Suns 2021 Western Conference Champions!
Giannis is injured but his MRI came back clean. Go Bucks so ESPN and their crew have to travel to Phoenix and Milwaukee
. The ECFinals at 2-2 is some great stuff no matter what happens. If the Hawks do win I would be happy for Nate.
