Re: Eastern Conference 1st Round Games Discussion Thread
Bucks are so underrated. IMO the only thing stopping them for entering the best team of all time argument would be getting an upgrade at that Pat/Allen spot to a legit All-Star caliber SG. And being 100% healthy. They literally have everything else. Size, defense, shooting, versatility, and tier 1 star, 3 other All-Star caliber guys, multiple All-League defenders, they have depth, when Middleton is right a ridiculous shot creator/tough shot maker/closer type. They aren’t missing anything. The number of guys they have that are true “2-way” guys who can get you 20+ and play All-Defense level defense is crazy.
I firmly believe if healthy they would have cruised to 70+ wins this year.Comment

Re: Eastern Conference 1st Round Games Discussion Thread
wing defense is a questionable one and how many of these "depth guys are playing vs the more elite teams. they are obviously very good. they should beat Miami with ease even without Giannis because Miami is a very bad basketball team and that was with Herro. hoping we get the Bos matchup with everyone healthy.Wolverines Packers Cubs Celtics

Re: Eastern Conference 1st Round Games Discussion Thread
I think they will run 9-10 deep against any team. They didn't have a single player on the roster play more than 32 minutes this year. Obviously against the elite teams maybe they shrink those minutes a bit more, drop a guy out of the mix.. But I don't think depth should be solely defined on what's your line-up look like against an elite team. Part of depth is having guys you can interchange all year long, play in the first round, etc to be "fresher" by the time you get to that elite team.
I think the perimeter defense is solid. Jrue is an all-league defender, Middleton too when he's 100%, Carter, Allen, Pat, Jae, they are all soid enough, Portis is alright for a floor spacing back-up, and Giannis and Brook are both DPOTY level guys. I think their biggest perimeter defensive issues are spamming Brook in P-n-R and for whatever reason Gainnis doesn't really challenge shooters much (probably to not foul).
If we are being realistic though, Milwaukee isn't 100% and won't be 100% in this run. They've had lots of bumps and bruises this year, Giannis will be banged up to some degree, but Middleton is not 100% his old self right now and likely won't be this season..
Basically saying, my post was more so talking about what I think they could be, 100% whole, healthy, etc. That's more so looking at next season. Especially if they can improve even marginally this off-season. And they still have a shot to win it all this year despite likely not even being able to reach their full potential this year.Comment
