Nba.com still hasn't updated the standings. Weird. They usually do it immediately. Something's going on.

I love that the Bucks, despite a bunch of injuries, plus load management, still have worked their way up to the best record in the league.

God, this better not be the game where the Nets hit 25 threes…

I think we should go for the #1 seed.

Miami legit sleepwalked into the ECF last year because they got to play the Hawks then the inept + hobbled Sixers.

They were literally resting guys in both series.

I’m personally tired of these grueling 2nd series & think we need to make it easier.

The Bucks have a brutal schedule. Very tough to think they can remain in first:

76ers twice
Nuggets-road
Warriors-road
Suns--road
Kings-road
Celtics
Grizzlies

Horst has to balance seeding vs. health. I think the Bucks threw away some games early against the Heat and others or there'd be more of a cushion.

Totally true, but Bostons schedule is worse. Tough to look at both schedules while observing the 2 teams trajectory and predict anything but the Bucks as the #1 seed.

I'm not going to bet against giannis, although
Celtics have an easier schedule, mostly teams hanging around.500 a few easy matches.. hopefully the cavaliers give some fight they have two meetings. I expect celtics to win another 12-15 games roughly... Which gives them 55-59 wins.

Dude you're looking at the glass half empty for no reason
In the next six games we got Nets twice, Magic twice, Wizards and Sixers (home).
If you gonna pounce, now is the time. Worry about the rest later.

Jae & Bobby could not have become available at a better time

I love it when Giannis proves me wrong

PROBABLE to play tonight

What a dude

I think it's time to see what the full roster can do on the court. With how Bud likes to play 10-11 deep I doubt anyone plays over 32-33 mins unless it's some kind of instant classic type that goes to OT. If they're going to go for the 1 seed now is the time to do it. Keep that sharp defensive intensity going and these next two games should be smooth sailing.

A Gianni/Bobby/Crowder/Middleton/Jrue or even Gianni/Crowder/Middleton/Pat/Jrue lineup should be fun to watch.
