I'm now not sure if I want Milwaukee, Toronto or Philly. Before I would have chosen Milwaukee but that is fading.
I think maybe just proximity to Marquette and Chicago for Wade mean if we are going to be overmatched somewhere, may as well be somewhere near his home /college where he can be seen in his farewell and possibly draw on some of that juice.
I wouldn’t overreact. Playoffs are a different animal, they havent been out of the first round in 15 years. We have experience and house money on our side.
