The Phoenix Suns cashed their ticket to the NBA Finals by taking down the Clippers and they now wait for the winner between the Bucks and Hawks who are set to play on Saturday. Bucks are up 3-2 with a chance to close it out tomorrow, but it's unsure if Giannis will play in the game due to a hyper extended knee. The question remains on whether or not he will play. It's a tricky situation the Bucks are facing here because they played so well in the last game without him, but this is a potential closeout game and the Hawks have proven to be a very formidable opponent. Yes, they've dropped the last two games with out all-star Trae Young who's been out with a bone bruise in his foot, but do you really wanna risk it by not playing Giannis? The good thing for the Bucks is that they have players with the ability to step up in Middleton, Holiday, and Lopez as they did in their last win so maybe they can pull it off again and head to a showdown with the Suns. The Suns have been extremely consistent and have played with a one man down, next man up attitude. Booker has clearly matured as a player and is very hard to stop completely. The last two seasons it's not hard to see he's become more strategic on the court instead of just being able to put up numbers. It's clear that Chris Paul has brung a wealth of knowledge to this team and that's why they are in the position that they are in right now. If they end up playing the Bucks in the finals, I expect it to go all 7 games and be a playoff for the ages. Expect Ayton to have his hands full with Giannis and Lopez in the front court because the Bucks are a big team. I believe they will be the biggest team they've faced in these playoffs and that will definitely present problems for the inside game of the Suns.
