The Bucks just secured their first win of this 2021 NBA Finals series, 120-100 at home in Milwaukee, and it’s exactly what the doctor ordered. The Bucks desperately needed this game after losing the first two in Phoenix, because you cannot go down 3-0. In my last post, I wrote about how Giannis’ teammates–specifically Khris… Read More For Milwaukee Bucks, There’s No Place Like Home
The Suns took Game 2 of the Finals 118-108 and are now up 2-0 with the series shifting to Milwaukee. The Bucks are now 5-6 on the road during this postseason, but 7-1 at home.

Colin Cowherd recently floated a brow-raising trade proposal (sorry): Anthony Davis for Damian Lillard: The gist of it is that AD is unreliable due to his frequent injuries, while Dame Lillard barely misses any games at all and would be a better fit alongside LeBron. Colin also believes that Anthony Davis isn’t fully committed to… Read More Should the Lakers Trade AD for Dame?
The Phoenix Suns closed out the LA Clippers four games to two, clinching the Western Conference and sending Chris Paul to his first-ever NBA Finals.

Last night, in the third quarter, Bucks superstar and 2x NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounpo went down with what looked like a serious knee injury.
