Based on what Ive seen so far I think the NBA champion is coming out of the East between the Heat and Bucks, especially if the Bucks get Middleton back at 100%

Bucks as long as they stay healthy. I still think the Suns are the favorites in the West, and just fell into a trap where they thought it would be an easy series against the Mavs

I still believe Boston is the most complete team and will win the next 2 games against Milwaukee. In my opinion, the winner of this series wins it all. In reality, there are 4 teams that can win it all... Boston, Milwaukee, Miami, and Phoenix. The Warriors are too undersized and too hurt to beat these teams.

WTH has happened to the best road team in the league? The team that had a better road record than any other team had a home record? Getting waxed on the floor in 3 straight games in Dallas, SMDH. Paul with now 4 straight subpar games. IDK if he's hiding an undisclosed injury, Dallas's defensive strategy is frustrating him or if he's just plain hit a wall, but it's clear he's not been himself. Suns should win game 7 at home, but they aren't winning the 'Chip if they can't start performing better away from home.

Barkley made an interesting point. As an older player it takes a lot out of you to have 2 or 3 "great" games in a row much less 4 in a playoff series. I think for the Suns to realize your dream they are only going to go as far as Book and Ayton can take 'em.

I would be very surprised if they win this series. You can be small, if you have a great defender like Dray.

They don't have that from any of their "bigs".

Without Middleton though, it's gonna be harder, still think they can do it.

Game 7 Bucks-Celtics, can Tatum have another unreal game performance? The odds are with the Greek coming through once again with another monster game.

Remember when Sacramento passed on Luka? lol

Giannis had a 44 pt 20 rebound game and Bucks couldn't get to 100pts at home. That's troubling.

Fully expect Giannis to have another monster game - question is - can couple other guys contribute. Missing Middleton has been tough for them. With Middleton - Bucks are huge favorites to win it all imho but without him - they're on level field with Boston, Miami, Phoenix and GS.

Boston is really really good though. Tough team to hate this year bc of the way they play. Great coaching job by Udoka.

Ayton's no slouch. It's not like Passing on Jordan for Sam Bowie.
