Kuz hears the chatter, I’m expecting him to have a very impactful series on both sides of the ball!

I'm not seeing that from everyone. Just the usual suspects.

Has any national media or podcast picked us to actually win this series?

I guess my confidence in this series is irrational, but I don't see us losing it with or without Dame.

Always a shot with Giannis in the playoffs, we know he’s hungry. Indy is very beatable!

My main concern with this series is Doc and the lineups he runs (or doesn’t run). If Doc does his job, I’m not particularly concerned about the Pacers, even if we drop game 1 here. But Doc doing his job in the playoffs is…let’s say questionable lol.

Trying to figure out if Dames return means Bucks in 5, but I'll stick with my Bucks in 6 prediction. I believe we take one of Game 1 or 2.

I'm already leaning back to Bucks in 5.
Have a feeling that Indiana is in for a bit of a wakeup call.

I feel like Giannis goes berserk in this series out for revenge

I’d like to see Giannis in underdog mode again and make this series his “I’m back” series. The national media has basically unjustly discarded him as a legit MVP-level superstar the past few years. Let him show the world that he’s at his peak and you can’t sleep on him or the Bucks.

Sims being good to go is pretty nice. Doubt he plays but having him available if needed is huge.

Dame return game will be fun. If it is in Milwaukee, He will feel the love for sure.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
