Why does CP3 deserve a ring? What makes him more special than some of the other legends who never got one? He tried the 'super team' thing and didn't get one. I don't believe in sentimental ring giving. If CP3 wins one good on him, but if Giannis is healthy, the Suns are the underdogs. 

If the Bucks can guard their small guys they win easy because there is no way the Suns can contain the Bucks big guys inside. Again, given a healthy Giannis. 

Its not just because he is better but he has been through so much in career that if he does finally break through and win its a big deal. You are going back and talking about other legends. Im specifically looking at guys who are still playing. Plus even if Giannis was healthy the Suns are the favorites. I havent been impressed with the Bucks all playoffs long. They just capitalized off of the Nets having Harden and Kyrie hurt and then the Hawks having Young hurt. All throughout the playoffs aside from the Heat series all Ive been hearing associated with the Bucks is them playing dumb basketball because instead of using their size they jack up 3's and they have been struggling all playoffs long shooting the 3. Now if Giannis was healthy I can see this series going 6 or 7 but I still will go towards the Suns because of the way Booker is playing. CP3 is playing great and is not turning the ball over and Ayton has been playing lights out. Plus the Bucks dont have the coaching advantage like they had in the past two series where they went up against McMillan and Nash. McMillan is more seasoned than Nash so he pulled all the right buttons to even get the Hawks into a Game 6. Monty is an excellent coach with a healthy roster. The Suns should be the favorites and I feel like they will win. If they dont it will look bad on CP3.

Not according to the professional odds makers. A healthy Giannis would make the Bucks favorites.

Interesting. I guess they figured the 2x MVP should get the job done. To me it would still come down to Middleton and Holiday. Giannis was putting up great numbers all playoffs long and still was pushed to 7 games with KD and nobody else on the Nets and before he got hurt the Hawks was giving the a battle. The reason was because Middleton was inconsistent and Holiday offensively has been bad. The Suns have been the most healthy and consistent team in the playoffs so one has to think regardless if Giannis was healthy or not the Suns would still win. I’d definitely take the bet on the Suns if the odds makers were thinking that way.

I think on paper the Bucks (if healthy) are better but theres something thats so frustrating watching them. They always seem to get in their own way. 

 

I think Suns win in 6. I honestly won't be surprised by any outcome. I could see either team sweeping even.

Torrey Craig of the Suns is the first player since the 2015-16 Warrior’s Anderson Varejao to play for both finals teams in that season. He could potentially get a ring regardless of the outcome. The Cavaliers offered Varejao a ring but he turned it down.
