Let him sit one and two regardless of outcomes. Bucks need only win one road game to win the series. Hope Giannis is ready for game 3 in Milwaukee. https://t.co/SFxDFVrwW3

I don't think Bud will do that but I really think Giannis should sit the first 2 games in Phoenix and comeback game 3 at home. We saw how AD re-injury took the wind out of Lakers sails when he tried to comeback. Don't want a similar situation for Giannis and Bucks. https://t.co/sudMtry5rE
