Naz Reid is better than Gobert

I agree, I Think the Bucks are winning it if they stay healthy
honestly don't see whose beating them in a 7 game series (and without HCA at that)

It's never been about the regular season for the Bucks, they are a beast regular season team. It's always been about the playoffs.

In previous playoffs you have instances of;
- Eric Bledsoe turning into Drew Bledsoe
- Jrue Holidays being wildly inconsistent offensively
- Bucks collective 3 point percentage tanking and going cold multiple games in a row
- Giannis FT% dipping dramatically
- Teams keying in on Bucks simple and random offensive and defensive system with Bud slow to adjust

But yes Bucks are the team to beat not only if they can stay healthy, but if the team collectively doesn't **** the bed, which they have a few times already.

To be far it was the following. From the first season that they were contenders. It's not like there is some epic collapse in there or anything

ECF, if Bledsoe showed up at all I think they make the finals and had a good shot at winning,
The bubble, which is too crazy to try and take anything from
A championship
And then losing to a damn good celtics team without middelton.

Embiid crushing the Wolves. Back to back threes.

Thing is this is the bucks best team since Bud Giannis and Middleton got here Jrue best season too. But the big difference is Lopez not just his Defense it’s his offense since his back surgery last year he moves and scores at will now 19 first quarter pts tonite

Wolves Mcdaniels with the 0/1/1 stat line in like 20 minutes. Bro i dont care how great of a defender you are. You cant be that **** bad on the other end.

Obviously semantics but they haven't been bad in the playoffs outside the bubble. They took Boston to 7 without midds, they were within 2 games of the finals in 2019.

Good to see Luka passing ahead more on the break.

Let the fast guys (Kyrie, etc) run.
