Thank you

Was it really that difficult?

The Bucks, in all likelihood, had an easier chance to reach the Finals last season as appose to this coming season. Assuming they don’t make a dramatic roster change


What dramatic roster change would be needed?

You think if they run in back w/ the same roster, that they’ll fare any better?

I think an upgrade in the backcourt would do wonders for y’all

They are involved in trade talks for Bogdanovic and Holiday according to Bucks insiders

I could see Teague wanting to come for the MLE he likes Bud

what teams were contenders? the Clippers and Bucks got bounced at the same point but were top 3 odds on favorites for the entire season because they have elite stars and depth

are the Heat suddenly contenders because they made the Finals? why is that not reflected in the odds making for next year if they are retaining their roster?


Lmao chill, it was the only appropriate response to your post. We know the Bucks are contenders

Bucks get #1 seed, best record in NBA, then get smoked in the playoffs before the Finals.

Rinse and repeat

is it better to get hyped as the #1 team in the East only to get swept in the first round as a 6th seed

More than likely, assuming they make the usual off-season moves. They need to make a big move to take that last step.

Honestly, yes. #6 seed lost to a #3 seed in the playoffs, not really a surprise right?

Then you have Milwaukee, a #1 seed with the best record in the NBA getting smoked by a #5 seed. Which one is choking more?


Being hyped up as a pre-season favorite to be a top seed is different than ACTUALLY being that top seed and then losing to a #5 seed rofl.


Milwaukee has a problem, they gotta break out of that regular season mindset because at this point they could win 65 games next year and nobody would trust them to actually win it all lol.

You said all season long that the 76ers were built for the playoffs and that they matched up excellently against the Celtics, then they got swept but somehow that's better

Milwaukee's biggest issue is they need a guard to facilitate the offense. Giannis doesn't get easy half court points because Bledsoe and Giannis are too similar in how they want to attack

The other major problem was Giannis regressing from 70% at the line to 59%, teams weren't afraid to hack him constantly because they know refs can't call every foul and Giannis won't punish them for it

Who exactly is smoking the Bucks? Nobody really believes that Herro and Crowder are shooting the lights out in hostile territory. They had the benefit of being home court the entire playoffs
