So huge for the Bucks to get a week of rest. They finished the season with a ridiculous 21 games in 35 days. Numerous players were playing on fumes, most notably Lopez, Prince, and Kuzma.

Just wish we would have had a couple weeks to figure out rotations with a healthy roster. We somehow have to win and figure **** out in the playoffs. Incredibly tough needle to thread. I’m hoping Giannis can muscle us thru one round and we go from there

If anyone can thread that needle, it's Glenn Rivers! :nod:

Yes but after the last 3 years of calamity this Bucks team being on track to be entirely healthy early in round 1 is a pretty shocking development.

Add in Giannis and swap out Gallo, Middleton and Beasley for GTJ, Kuz, and Scoot and we’re a way different team defensively.

You forgot Beverly, and GTJ is not a good defender. Last seasons Middleton and Prince are similar defensively. Adding Giannis back in is huge though. Amazing that last years team actually defended in the playoffs.

Josh Tiven, Curtis Blair and Tre Maddox are the officiating crew.

Is there somewhere I can bet we go exactly 16-8 over the next 24 games?

Nope, you'd have to bet each individual series. Bucks in 6 against Indy is currently +450
