I don't care how many regular season games Boston wins. They're still not going to have any answer for Giannis in a 7 game series.

From the Buck's perspective, Boston scared me more last season. Maybe Boston is better overall now, or maybe they're a better regular season team, but they no longer have a committee of guys that can wear Giannis down over the course of a series like they had in the past. Also helps that Giannis has Dame as his sidekick now.

We would have to be at the top our game to Beat Boston of course, but I really like our chances against them.

Plus Doc got a 3-2 lead on Boston last season, then Harden and Embiid couldn't finish the deal.

Thibs gets his dudes to play hard even if it means their bodies will die on them at any point.

If Giannis was surrounded by Boston's shooters, they would suddenly shoot 30% from 3.

Look what we did to Dame. I'm convinced we'd turn Curry into Josh Smith at this rate.

Exactly.

And when guys leave the Bucks it's the opposite.

Grayson, Donte & Jrue are all having career years from 3 this season.

Weird.

Magic look the goods for the 4 seed if Brunson is going to be out a while, which sadly looks likely.

Donte is balling for the Knicks. He's been the best player on the floor this quarter.

Brunson looks like he had foot drop. Could be an achilles injury but if he had a sudden peroneal nerve impingement, it would also cause that. If I had to guess, I would say that's more likely. He didn't grab for his heel, he grabbed for his shin.

Merrill has developed exactly into the player I thought. Hard to be mad about it though, Merrill for Grayson was a solid trade for us.

Plus we have AJ Green and I would take Green over Merrill.

One of the things I always loved about Donte is that he plays a lot bigger than 6'4.

Great win for the Knicks. Terrible loss for the Cavs.

It's the DDV/Merrill show in Cleveland. 13 made 3's between them so far.

Thibs likes playing his guys minutes. Noting Brunson going out in the first minute, McBride played 47 minutes, and Hart played 45.
