Who knew "Suns in 4" might just be short for "Suns in 4 games have choked away the Finals".

How have they choked away the finals?

"Might". They were up 2-0 and are 1 game away from losing 4 straight.

Again - this is not choking if they lose 4 straight. They were up 2-0 at home. Bucks winning these games by playing great. Suns are playing damn good too. Bucks have been slightly better. Full Credit to them.

Nah, I am afraid I must disagree that is straight up choking if the Suns lose. I get what you are saying, but this everybody wins narrative because they played hard just isn't true. What people will remember is that the Suns had 'em, they were up 2 and they couldn't beat them. Is it fair? Nope. Neither is life or the game of Basketball. The Suns lose this series, they choked.

With Giannis coming off the injury, Suns having home court I wouldn't call it choking. Suns just jumped up 2-0 then the better team with the best player took control.

They aren't choking. They are getting beat by the better team which includes a superstar performance from arguably the best player in the NBA.

Jru Holiday, Middleton, Giannis, and Tucker are f**king up Paul's pick and roll, his bread and butter. Booker can only do so much hero ball against tough defense on the perimeter and at the rim.

Atyton and Bridges can't create their own offense.

Meanwhile, Holiday, Giannis and Middleton can. And Connaughton is lighting it up from range and providing timely threes.

Paul and Booker have to play lights out for them to win. Its still on the table.

I need some Finals playoff action.
So no parade down Central Ave?
if the Suns lose, I won't feel bad, mostly because of that douchebag fan flashing 100 dollar bills during giannis free throws

Someone's jealous of baller status.

...but Jalen was right - you gotta throw that money. You can't be counting the same 12 bills again and again.

I wonder if anyone attempted to pickpocket him

Of his stimulus money?
I wouldn't mind the 7th game but I'd like to see the Bucks close the deal at home.
Bucks needs to treat this as their game 7
