Again, regular season game but people putting them on some tier above everyone else seems wrong.
Have a feeling these expectations that Boston now has are really going to hurt them when it matters, having the Bucks be an underdog vs Boston will play into Bucks hands extremely well
Good point and that's one silver lining if we end up the #2 seed and Boston is #1. Boston as the #1 seed will be the favorite and have more pressure and higher expectations on them than we will. I'd still rather the Bucks be the #1, but gotta find a silver lining and that's a legit one. Seems like Boston is a team that thrives more when they are under the radar a bit. If they go into the playoffs as the #1 seed with everyone saying that they're an
unbeatable juggernaut I think that might not be good for them.
As for Boston's offense, I think teams are starting to get a book on Joe Mazzulla's offense now. I think Boston's offense will still be really good but I think it will come back down to earth a bit, we'll see.
