Cleveland > Milwaukee.

All we gotta do is take Boston out in the 2nd round...

Why are so many teams higher than the bucks?

It’s more or less just based on regular season point differential.

Their ORTG is abysmal for a championship contender.

Yeah, I don't see it in the cards for the Bucks this year. They just are not efficient enough offensively and that will rear its head in the playoffs. This is a paper tiger year for them, with a compromised Middleton.

The Warriors had a crappy offense last year and won it all, but all their guys were back for the playoffs and they're one of the rare teams in history that can hit an on/off switch. Not sure if Middleton/Bucks have that.

This team misses McDaniels so many times on the break hopefully next season we get a guard that can actually push the ball

Go Hawks

All the Hawks need now is for Ben Simmons to suit up for Boston and they'll have a chance

Sixers-Celtics could be an epic series

Atlanta somehow hanging around is great! Force Boston to keep the starters out there.

Too many teams make the playoffs every year.

It’s amazing how ATL built an entire team to maximize Trae Young’s skill set and they still suck ass. I’m not sure what would be a good situation for Trae at this point.

Totally agree, but that horse left the barn in pro sports and is loooooooong gone.

Unless he decides to expand his game beyond being an on-ball stat collector, the most suitable situation is going to be as a tank commander.

This NY/CLE series is going to be a good one.
