For 3m -- who will win the real life NBA Finals? How many games? What is the key matchup or thing that will determine the series? Must be adequate answers and I reserve the right to determine if you receive payout (not awarding payout for one word responses and have to put a modicum of thought into it).

For me, it’s Bucks in 6. They have all the momentum and they’ve figured out how to slow the Suns just enough to where their own offense can win. The Suns don’t have an answer for their size, and although Ayton has had a spectacular postseason, he’s being schemed out now as well. I don’t think the Suns have the gas

I got the bucks in 7. I think key matchup is Chris Paul vs Middleton. Not that they guard each other but which one of them shows up. Both are huge factors. I think giannis and booker will both play well and it’ll come down to which secondary piece steps up in the next few.

Bucks in 6. CP3 is the swing factor and I think they've found a pretty good way to scheme him out of the game enough to allow the Bucks to do their thing while the Suns are frustrated and relying on Bookers offense. I guess either way, CP3 or Booker take one of them off their game and the Suns kinda collapse so that'll be the question. That and whether or not Middleton can keep up with the offense.

Suns in 6. Feel like the team will rally around getting it for CP3 and they snag the next 2. Giannis seems like he's gonna do what he wants to so game 5 WI be pivotal if they can stop everyone else

Bucks in 7 ..I feel like The Greek God is going to become the most talked about player in the NBA .. and it's most MVP like one.. I dont think the Sun's match well with Bucks

Bucks in 7. I think Phoenix has one more game in them and Middy has been bad on the road so gotta account for one dude from him but Giannis is other worldly right now. They have no answer unless they hack-a-giannis, and CP3 looks cooked.

Bucks in 6. I think it's the aggressiveness of the Bucks inside vs. the Suns ability to not foul / not get called for fouls. If they can 'weaken the wall' in game 5 on the road, and Giannis can score 40+ again, I think they steal it. I really think that is the only way we win game 5 or game 7 since the rest of the team is pretty 'home warrior' type. Hoping it happens in game 5. Game 6 then at home I just don't see them losing it. I am blind to that possibility.

Bucks in 7
1. Chris Paul is choking with Jrue defending.
2. They have the momentum.
3. Booker and Ayton are still young.
4. Bridges was MIA last few games.
5. Giannis is the best player on the court. Championship almost always goes to the team with the best player. Last time that didn't happen was 2004 Pistons (or 2011 Mavs but you could argue Dirk was great there).

Bucks in 6.
I think it depends on whether Middleton is able to defend/score against Booker. I'd say more so that Middle needs to score because Bucks have no one else who is able to score other than Giannis consistently. So he needs to do it.

Other match up would be obviously the PGs. Chris Paul is the reason for the Suns' success and Jrue is one of the premier backcourt defender.

Im gonna go with the Suns in 7.
Homecourt is playing a big part of the series so far. Expect the Suns and Bucks to win at home the next two games to get to a Game 7.
To me, whichever team has the better point guard play gives them the edge

If Jure Holiday can be more efficient the next few games, the Bucks should be NBA Champs. He needs to step up to give them a big boost as a scorer. Chris Paul needs to value the basketball alot better than he has currently. He is giving away possessions that have hurt the Suns.

God damn it I was rooting for the Bucks

The Bucks are going to win in 7 games, Chris Paul is cursed and will never win a championship. Giannis is the best player on the court in this series and that will ultimately be why the Bucks come out ahead. And on top of that, Middleton is playing like the second best player in this series.

 

[Curry]

I have Suns in 7. I don’t think either team has the star power to win a road game in this series too many role player type guys on both ends of the court that have led to what we’ve seen in the first 4 games. All in all series has been missing something to me and maybe Giannis or Book change that tonight but we’ll see. Suns in 7 nonetheless.

Suns in 7

this will be the greatest finals ever, with Giannis dominating CP3 and Booker will pull off the improbable comeback and win it at home after stealing game 6 on the road. CP3 deserves a ring
