509: A Finals Miracle! Plus, Team USA & Kawhi’s Injury - All Around the NBA: Finals Edition - The Roundup Podcast

The Roundup Podcast

On today’s show, we’re still in awe of what we saw way back in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, as Giannis unexpectedly returned to the court just 7 days after suffering a traumatic knee injury, and suddenly, with their superstar back, it looks like the Bucks might make it a series. And this wasn’t Willis Reed; Giannis put up monster double-doubles while still noticeably hobbled in Phoenix, yet still, as Game 3 approached, the Suns were headed to Milwaukee up 2 games to none. In Phoenix, Chris Paul was running the show, doing pretty much whatever he wanted, while outside of Giannis the Bucks just couldn’t get it going. But a little home cooking goes a long ways, and just as the Bucks rebounded on their own court in GMs 3 & 4, the Suns struggled on the road. Just like that, what was thought to be Suns in 4, turned into a best of 3, and as I’m sure everybody has heard, the series doesn’t really start til the road team gets a win. So here we are, the Bucks back in business and Giannis showing no indication that he was ever hurt at all, but with the Suns holding home court, there’s a good chance we may even get a Game 7! Yeah, this may not have been the Finals we wanted, but it certainly is showing the potential to turn into a great one! So sit back, it’s the NBA Playoffs, all NBA Playoffs, and nothing but the NBA Playoffs and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .
