    No idea. He went down a day after Morino bet him to win finals MVP though.

    That's all I know.

    Hyperextended knee. Not as serious as a tear, but still painful as fukk. Word is he practiced VERY lightly and had no explosiveness, so my guess is we won't see him until Game 3 at very earliest, but again just a guess on my part. He has to at least get to the point where he could drive off of knee.

    I would say yes. They beat the Hawks without him but keep in mind Trey Young was injured and Suns are way deeper.

    Suns won both regular season games by 1 with one of those going to overtime . Giannis scored the following in those games

    Giannis won’t be playing tonight and scored the following in those games….
    Game 1 47pts 11reb 5asst
    Game 2 33pts 8reb 2asst

    Homes teams in Game 1 of NBA Finals with more than Two Days Rest have gone a perfect 13-0 SU and 13-0 ATS since the 2004-2005 season

    Giannis won’t pull a Kawhi and miss all the games, but he won’t play in any of the games and put up his usual patented playoff 30+Points and 13+rebounds defensive menace type games.

    They won't waste him in game 1 and probably not game 2 at PHX either.

    Which makes the odds better to wait if you like Giannis to return when it's back in Milwaukee.

    Never in all my years of betting have I ever been more disinterested in an NBA finals. Might as well be a regular season MLB game. Could honestly care less.

    Personally I LIKE the fresh blood after the severe lack of parity in recent years. Yes I am lumping LeBron teams together, so don't come back with Lakers last year . Only outlying winner was Toronto, but they faced blueblood Warriors. I actually find it refreshing to have 2 newbies in the Finals.

    Bro. Giannis or Paul/Book getting their 1st chip. I’m loving it (Spurs Lifer)…

    Milwaukee is boring though. The city. The players. The uniforms. I do like the new teams in it idea . NBA can do without James. Guy is nauseating.

    I don't think they should play Giannis in games 1 and 2.

    Bucks just need to win 1 of those games without him. If they do that, they will be in good shape to win the series.

    That bone bruise or whatever should be healed by game 3 and if not just stick a needle in it and go out there and play. Don't be a puss.

    They seem to play just as well without him as evidenced in the last series. No biggie either way.

    Some line movement downward from 6 to 5.5 at some places. I think you go with the home team to win at least one game. Capt Obvious here.

    It took you this long to figure out? They’ve been manipulating injury reports for years. This year they don’t even hide it well.

    It's the nba finals. If he does not play in the series he's a puss. He should sit out a game or two max. Even if he tears his acl, who cares. Just rehab and be ready for the playoffs next year. Reg season means nothing. Kawhi Leonard is one of the weakest competitors we've ever seen in the history of this league. He is soft as hell. Kobe played in the nba finals with two dislocated fingers on his shooting hand and a partially torn rotator cuff, and beat the Celtics. Nowadays guys sit out with a jammed pinkie.

    Hope it's a good finals, happy for cp and giannis to finally get there.

    Middleton has been a straight killer for Milwaukee, if the bucks win and giannis has a good series he'll get finals MVP but it was Middleton that got them there with both the nets and the hawks. Very reminiscent of the Lakers 2nd of 3 when Kobe did all the heavy lifting destroying Duncan and Robinson only to have shaq take home the MVP and throwing shade at Kobe to boot
