Stylistically I think there are some real problems here for the Bucks. I see the Warriors forcing them to play small rather than the Bucks forcing the Warriors to play big. I think they would really have a hard time playing Tucker Giannis and Lopez together and Curry showed this year with Smart an elite PG defender wont slow him down. I think the Bucks probably have more talent but I just think everything else from coaching to styles and matchups goes the Warriors way. I also trust the then 3 time champion core a little more than a first finals core.

I think Holiday would do a much better job than Smart, and the crazy size of Giannis and Lopez (and his boxing out skills) would be useful against the Warriors. I don't love Tucker against elite D team but they could bench him more for Connaughton. Poole is an X factor offensively. Bucks play a physical series and manage to throw GSW off their game enough to win.
