Game 1 of the NBA Finals went to the home team, Phoenix Suns. Chris Paul was great, Devin Booker was good, and Deandre Ayton dominated inside. Giannis played great in return from injury, but the others failed to step up despite Khris Middleton scoring 29 points which came mostly in the 2nd half. Adjustments is a must for Mike Budenholzer and the Milwaukee Bucks going into Game 2 tonight.

The Eastern Conference Finals is tied 2-2 going into Game 5 tonight. No Giannis Antetokoumnpo for the Milwaukee Bucks with the hyperextension in his knee. The status of Trae Young is up in the air for the Atlanta Hawks with the deep bone bruise in the ankle. In a pivotal Game 5, the will of one team will show and put them one game away from the Finals.

The Western Conference could be on the verge of ending tonight. The Phoenix Suns are one win away from the NBA Finals. Despite, the play of the Suns, it's the Clippers fault for the Suns to be where they are up 3-1 with Game 5 in Phoenix. Paul George struggles in the big moments has Chris Paul on the verge on a deserving trip. 

The Eastern Conference Finals are showing the struggles of the Atlanta Hawks after dropping to straight games including Game 3 in Atlanta last night. Milwaukee could say this series should be 3-0, but they let the Hawks steal Game 1. A blowout in Game 2 to even the series and an early 15-point comeback last night has momentum with the Bucks. Trae Young needs help, but no one is joining the party.

Congratulations to the Phoenix Suns on reaching the Western Conference Finals. Disappointing way for the Denver Nuggets to go out and The Playmaker will explain why. The Joker being ejected for is one reason where something worst happened in another series and nothing happen. Injury to Kyrie Irving last night find the Brooklyn Nets themselves in a brand new series with the Milwaukee Bucks. Philly up 2-1 on Atlanta, the Hawks must response in Game 4. The Clippers looked great in Game 3, but still down 2-1. The Conference Semis continue to heat up.

The Conference Semifinals are in full swing now. Every series except the Clippers/Jazz series are two games in and series are shifting. Philadelphia responded in Game 2 to even the series but it's off to the ATL where the Hawks are fly high. Brooklyn and Phoenix defended homecourt convincingly as both teams are set for two road games. In those two series however, the Milwaukee Bucks and Denver Nuggets are searching for answers after receiving beat downs in Game 2. There a couple of players, The Playmaker is looking to step up at home to be the second best player on their respective teams.

Memorial Weekend has passed and a lot of action took place in the NBA Playoffs. One series ended in a clean sweep, all the others going to at least Game 5. Injuries became the theme over the weekend as some series turn a major turn especially with Anthony Davis and Luka Doncic. With that being said, the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Clippers have control of home court again. Utah looks like the top team with Spida Mitchell after dropping Game 1. The Nets and Hawks are in command of their series while the Wizards survived for an extra game.
