We were always up against it in this series. The Bucks were a poor matchup from the start and Blake only being available for Games 3 and 4, and still not 100%, hurt us.
I'm proud of Blake for giving it his all despite his injury woes. We're very lucky to have him and if we're not going to tear it all down we need to get this man some help, and fast.
Luke had something of a coming out party and earned the Bucks' respect. I expect him to have even a bigger role next season.
Despite the enduring negativity surrounding him, Reggie was actually decent this series and I can't overly criticise what he gave to the team.
Everyone else was mediocre to terrible. Drummond had a real opportunity to step up and prove himself as our star guy with Blake out and he didn't take advantage of it. Our 3 point snipers Ellington and Galloway just didn't bring it. Ish faltered on the big stage and Maker had a negligible impact.
We need a legitimate starting 3 in the worst way. And more bench depth in general. Maybe even need to finally consider trading Drummond. Stefanski has his work cut out for him this summer.

Re: Detroit Pistons @ Milwaukee Bucks (Playoffs)
I want to see a much different team next year...this team just isn't good enough to compete for anything. If it means trading Blake and or Andre so be it.

Kind of telling that he wouldn't commit to building around Blake & Dre when directly asked. He just says they're great players.
Do I get my hopes up?

They consider Bledsoe, a guy who destroyed our awful point guard, a problem.
His defense is superb. He's named in the All defense first team. It's his offense that we didn't figure out that he can't shoot wide open 3s. Now he's getting majorly exposed it seems like. Both Giannis and Bledsoe can't shoot 3s so the Bucks are getting clogged inside the paint. There's a chance Bucks don't win the Eastern Conf Finals because of Bledsoe. They just paid him 18m a year for his defense. If Bucks don't get past the ECF and Giannis gets his massive pay day of 50m a year (you know it's coming), Bucks will officially be shook. Middleton's max pay day is coming this summer and Lopez is leaving.
