    I live in Tucson and have been a Suns fan my entire life. I hope this is their year. I have always dreamed of the Suns and Jets winning it all in the same season.
    Never fucking know! Go Suns!
    Last but not least J! E! T! S! JETS!! JETS!! JETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Happy for you!

    Unless my Bucks somehow advance without Giannis, I'm all on board with the Suns winning. That was the team after Milwaukee I've been rooting for all playoffs.

    Have to think that Phoenix will be the big fan favorite if the Hawks get out of the East (other than in Atlanta, of course).

    One game away.

    It still feels so hopeless.

    I think the Bucks can close it out tomorrow night. Then both team can rest up, get to full strength and have one heck of series.

    Whoever the Suns play I want to see that team at 100%. Good luck on the close out game tomorrow night.

    Me too, and thanks. It should be a great finals match up. None of these 3 teams have been to the finals in way too long.

    Enjoy and soak it up for 24 hours. Then we can both start worrying about game 1 come Monday morning.
    Have a happy and safe 4th of July!

    Just wanted to chime back in here in the morning now that I'm sober, and rested up lol.

    I'm happy for you, happy for us that we finally get to experience this. I look forward to chatting thru the series, and also really hope we're both as fully healthy as possible.

    As Bart once said, Can't wait.

    Giannis' team won games 5 and 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals without him. Anything less than a championship for him will be a dissapointment (assuming he comes back playing healthy). I don't think the Sun's are any super team or a powerhouse team, I just think the injuries and high level of parity in the league opened the window for both of these teams and now they finally get to both play their best competition for the title.

    It should be a good finals, I'll go with the Sun's in 7. I don't think either team will dominate the other. A title for either team will be huge for the franchise.

    Anyone else notice the revenge tour that kind of happened?

    Brook Lopez won game 7 in Brooklyn

    Chris Paul won game 6 in LA

    Mike Budenholzer won game 6 in Atlanta

    Must be satisfying to return to your old teams home court and eliminate them, to send your self to a series you never have played in.

    That is a great point I never would have thought about beyond Chris Paul and the Clippers.

    Really great finals. Both are small revenue teams. I would love to see Chris Paul get a ring, but I wouldn’t feel bad if the Bucks win. It’s a win, win for me.

    First finals since the 2006 Finals (Heat vs Mavs) where neither team had really any finals experience or a cast that had won championships.

    Pretty good game one, both teams played hard tonight, and the Suns defended home court. Chris Pauls strange career is peaking at the age of 36. Hes playing some of the best hes ever played in these last few games.

    For how much the season pained me, being a Celtics fan and how the fouls have become ridiculous. Love this finals matchup.

    I may have said I was rooting for the Bucks, but I want to see CP3 and Booker win a championship.

    Either way I'll be watching the post game last game

    That was a good game. The Bucks have a lot of fight in them. They were down big and just kept fighting. Giannis you s a freaking beast. I don’t see the Bucks going away quietly. Deep down inside I feel like the Suns are setting me up for disappointment. That is the Jets fan in me talking but that shit is real.
