Giannis looks good warming up. I'm optimistic

hairyangryfella · 07-06-2021, 08:09 PM

Bet on the Suns by 12 and less than 216 points being scored - not expecting Giannis to play. Eek.

I still think it will be a low scoring game. Both teams are going to come out tight…there’s only one guy on the court that has any Finals experience at all, and that’s Jae Crowder with a grand total of 6 games.

pennywise · 07-06-2021, 08:11 PM

Slightly pulling for the Suns but just hoping for a competitive series and no more injuries. Stoked for a Finals with almost zero Finals experience between both teams.

hairyangryfella · 07-06-2021, 08:20 PM

Giannis already making a huge difference by being out there.

Unless he goes down, it's the Buck's to lose.

Giannis leg looks good. Here’s to a healthy finals!!!

kd the sniper · 07-06-2021, 08:22 PM

Suns in 5? Idk.. Hopefully it's a good finals

byronscott4ever · 07-06-2021, 08:39 PM

So far, entertaining

Lol. I hate this bet

All I want is a competitive, entertaining series. So far, so good.

Packer4Rob · 07-06-2021, 08:49 PM

captain obvious checking in here...bucks cant keep missing point blank shots and expect to win...suns are too good to blow those chances

escapegoat · 07-06-2021, 08:55 PM

three bailout foul calls for booker so far.

The stuff being called so far seems questionable, but besides the few that went bookers way it’s seems pretty even.

inconsistent refereeing is what bothers me most. booker also had a charge called against him that was weak.

pennywise · 07-06-2021, 09:06 PM

Fun first half. Both teams came to play.

I'm amazed that Giannis is moving the way he is. Injury obviously wasn't as bad as it looked.

IceTrae11 · 07-06-2021, 09:06 PM

Giannis going hard but looks a little tender on the leg (when he's just walking, maybe tiny limp)

Onepocketj · 07-06-2021, 09:07 PM

Huge block by Giannis

Siberian13 · 07-06-2021, 09:07 PM

Good to see Giannis playing in the Finals.

escapegoat · 07-06-2021, 09:08 PM

didn’t see a lot of Portis. id play him over connaughton 10 times out of 10

Two separate bets. At the time Giannis was doubtful and I figured it would be a bit of a grind without him.

Bucks in 7. Chris Paul never see's a ring.

oshmeehan · 07-06-2021, 09:10 PM

Bucks missing a lot of shots at the rim but also not getting any calls down there either. Meanwhile Booker getting a Kobe/Jordan whistle at times.

I'd love to see that and the LeBron one side by side. What an impact he's having, so good to see him out there from a spectacle side.

Yeah it must have been brutal for them to try to set the odds for the game/series without knowing what's going on with Giannis.
