Here is what Twitter is saying about the two-time MVP on Tuesday.

Yea if Giannis comes back it’ll go to 7 but I still have the Sun’s!

"The Bucks were like a boxer that was knocked down for a 9-count — twice — by the Nets. For them to get up from Game 2 & then Game 5 & Game 7 OT — that's how you become a champion. Assuming Giannis is back by Game 3, I think the Bucks will win the title." — @getnickwright pic.twitter.com/RVYRvTYbwc

"Giannis averaged 40 points a game against the Suns during the regular season and the Bucks couldn't beat them. With or without Giannis, the Suns are a better team." — @BMarshall pic.twitter.com/eC6fLwQiK0

I'm no doctor, but it feels unrealistic to think Giannis will be near 100%, and Milwaukee has no shot without him.
— Anthony Riccobono (@Tony_Riccobono) July 6, 2021
I got the Bucks in 6 with or without Giannis

If he plays, Giannis is puttin up 2000 Shaq numbers in the finals.
