Also not sure anyone on the bulls could even begin to guard Middleton. Feel bad for the bulls they were cruising for a bit just got hurt and lost their mojo.


pat has the physical tools to be the best option, not sure he has the mentality for the job tho.

I'm not sure how you can call that team "prime Milwaukee" given we won a championship last year AND it was the bubble.

Bucks drew the best matchup imaginable.

Bulls haven’t beaten them in like 5 years.

They won 50+ games and Giannis was still winning awards, no?

They had Bled who was a postseason flop, a 4.5 month layoff, no home court advantage, and Jacob Blake all going on at the same time no? That team was not "prime Milwaukee" by any stretch of the imagination.

This is so dumb. Just take a look at every last game of the season for the Bucks the last 4 years. Bud let the scrubs play. That’s it. Nothing more, nothing less. Has nothing to do with avoiding or picking a team.

Ha bulls fans are well aware of how bad this team has been since the ASB, I think most homers are voting for them to lose in 4.

That being said I think the Bulls win one, just because sweeps aren't that easy in general with random happenings and I really think the Bucks are going to coast and save their strength for later rounds that mean something. Game 3 in Chicago I can see them sneaking a win potentially. Lopez will negate the only skill Vuc still sorta has this year in rebounding, because he clearly can't shoot anymore. DDR could have a game with Ayo and Caruso just playing lock down D because Bucks take the night off.

Curious what was on the line those previous 4 seasons, doubt it was the difference between playing Chi or Bky. Nothing wrong with it and silly to pretend the team wouldnt see the same upside as bucks fans did.

Bucks lost a playoff game to the **** Magic, the Heat sweep last season was an outlier. We'll drop a game, we start every series like ****.

Bucks in 4. Average win margin by 17-20 PPG. Easiest call of the 1st round.

This is when we need Derozan to be like he was in that stretch this season.

Yeah... I wouldn't be surprised if this is a sweep. Maybe 5 if DeMar goes off for a game at home.
