Bucks have no defense for Brunson, zero options to defend him with.

Wemby should just go to the rim and throw him a lob. Please for the love of god no 3 pointer.

Lillard deal isn't looking very good in hindsight. Hasn't elevated the Bucks at all and it allowed the Celtics to get better.

Adrian Griffin should get COTY votes despite being fired.

Malik Beasley and Dame Lillard as a starting back court is not going to work. It just isn't. Blown assignments, miscommunication, terrible placement on defense. It's bad.

At least Dame can somewhat mitigate his issues with offense, WTH is Beas good for except for a few bench minutes as a 10th man?

Bucks look like they're going to blow the #2 seed, they face Magic twice (who are the #3 seed) Boston and OKC. Meaning they have 3 games remaining with #3 seeds and 1 with #1 seed. They're only 1.5 games ahead of Magic.

I expect Boston in the finals, but they were probably more favoured against Miami than they will be in any round this year. Theyve lost to less talented teams their last 3 trips to the playoffs i believe and 4/5 if you include the bubble loss to the Heat. They may finally have amassed enough talent to be choke proof, but i can never 100% trust them.

You're crazy if you thought a multi-title winning dynasty core was less talented than the 22 celtics. ridiculous

Don't worry, if a team every need a revival it's always against the Magic. The Bucks will be fine.

Great play call by Pop there (and execution by the players).

Champagnie has really come into his own in the second half of the season.

He's been fantastic

Victor caught a high pass in the lane. Maxey came to double. He kicked it to the corner to Champagnie who swished the three.
