I heard that nobody on either team has a ring yet. That's the coolest thing about this finals, two teams that haven't been there in a long, long time.

Nobody wants to take a shot at some of the questions? Would really like to hear what you guys think.

1) In what game will Giannis decide to give it a go?

Game 3 can't see him trying it out till they have to win in game 3 l. Even if they split game 3 will be a very important game.

2) What Suns player will be the hardest for the Bucks to Defend?

I have to imagine Chris Paul. I think Ayton will be non factor in the series. I also think the Bucks will do whatever they can to stop Booker.

3) Who is the X factor for each team in the series?
Ayton suns I think Giannis will get him to foul trouble a lot just like John Collins was in foul trouble a lot because he's so hard to guard

Middleton bucks he can single handle win you game when he gets hot. He showed this 2-3 times in playoffs now.

4) Is it necessary for the Bucks to win one of the first two games in Phoenix?

No but preferred

5) Who do you favor in the matchup of starting guards?

Suns. Holiday is just to inconsistent

6) Are the Bucks at a disadvantage with the relatively short turnaround before game 1

There NBA athletes they should be able to handle anything.

7) Will Chris Paul's flopping drive CoolBreeze nuts?

I give it till 6 mins and 35 seconds of the first quarter of the first game.

8 Will the winner of any game score less than 100 points?

Honestly could see game 1 go this way. Have feeling both teams want to muck it up.

9) Series outcome if Giannis is close to 100%

Milwaukee will win because they don't have anyone that can stop or contain Giannis.

Bucks in 6

10) Series outcome if Giannis is out

Suns in 5 the bucks are not deep enough team to win the series if he's out. They mainly won the last series because of two hot quarters from Middleton and trae young being hurt as well.

+1
I think it's awesome a franchise that's never win or one that hasn't won since the early 70s is going to win championship. I don't care about injuries. Part of being great team is having depth as well.

This was Jesters 10 questions +1 :)

Nice Jester, +1 for you

I'm a homer and don't follow other teams close enough to answer any of the above questions with anything other than sarcasm. I don't care who wins, I'm just happy it's not the Lakers or Nets! Fuck the super teams and big markets!!!!

I like that SP!

Round 1 to the Suns, and they were the better team tonight. I didn't particularly care for the free throw differential, but have to credit the Suns for making them all. I think the story of the series is going to be whether Holiday can hold his own against Paul. He was completely dominated tonight. He doesn't have to be better than CP3, but he needs to keep that matchup from being the difference.

You have to give props to Chris Paul. Two years ago he was considered to have one of the worst contract in the NBA. Now he's leading his team in the NBA finals.

Those are higher odds than most of us would expect, so that tells me the oddsmakers think Giannis will not even be close to 100%...because if he is, I see this as dead even and a playoff series for the ages. Really sad if he can't go because he is a terrific player and seemingly an even better guy.

This is a fun series for me because I like both teams. I like the Bucks a little more so I'll be cheering for them, but I don't carry the same Chris Paul hate that many NBA fans have so I won't be unhappy if the Suns prevail.

Who can name the only lottery pick in the Bucks' rotation without looking it up?

C'mon Bucks! Many are already writing you off. Let's show the goods tonight.
