Only one way to find out I guess :dontknow:

But if they are, it tells you that pretty much all of the regular season is a big pile of crap LOL
NBA really needs to shorten the season. Too many games where you don't know if teams are playing for real or just **** around.

I can see the Lakers or Clippers beating the Bucks. Does that make them Fool's Gold? Kawhi already beat Giannis with a lesser team last year.


Lesser team? I mean they ended the season in 2nd without him. I'm not seeing how LA 2020 is > Toronto 2019

Kawhi - Kawhi
Siakam - George
Lowry - Williams
Gasol - Zubac
Ibaka - Beverly
Van Vleet - Harrell
Green - Morris
Powell - Shamet
Anunoby -

Pretty even. George is slightly better than anyone on the Raptors, but I think the rest of their roster is much worse.

so far it looks like mil doesnt know what it takes to step up to the next level. I wonder if being so dominant in the regular season makes them feels they're okay with the status quo going forward

I have no doubt but consider,,,,,if it happens it took a bad loss to a cr@p team for mil to reach down deep. I think a true champ takes all teams seriously.

lol. just as I wrote this barkley remarked about turning it on and off. one thing I like about charles is he understands cause and affect

I wouldn't bet against them but if the Raptors or the Celtics end up representing the East this year, it wouldn't be a shocker. My faith in the Bucks comes strictly from the fact that no other team in the East has a Top 5 player like Giannis and as we know, superstars win you playoff games.


The Heat beat the Bucks twice this year, so if I'm the Bucks, I'm really concerned about facing top-tier coaches who can make good adjustments, specifically: Nurse, Stevens and Spoelstra.

Simmons and Embiid are also a nice Giannis stopper combo, but I'm not sold on Brett Brown.


damn, this poster good

This is why winning means so much...it validates everything else.

Because if you go by the stats and not by the results Milwaukee is an ATG team.......
