Bucks have the edge AND the momentum. If Giannis was closer to 100% game 1, it would be 3-1

Suns do have the edge.
For anyone ask yourself this do you trust the Bucks role players to step up in a hostile environment Game 5 in Phoenix? Not even just in a Game 5 but possibly a Game 7 in Phoenix? Not even just the role players, can you trust the Bucks to make the right adjustments to win a Game 5 possibly a Game 7 in Phoenix? Be honest and if your answer is yes explain.

Cade Cunningham is Luka Doncic. These ESPN experts doesn’t know sh** about basketball

The next player will never be like a former player until he proves he is, or better. I’m sure Lebron being compared to a former great player (anyone but MJ 😀) was considered disrespectful until Lebron proved he’s better.

Cp3 and DA combined for 14. The suns have had the edge in 3 outta the 4 games. I expect game 5 to go to the suns. Suns in 6.
