Ehhhh, he was extremely important during their championship run....primarily in the finals when he was their closer. Clutch basket after clutch basket, he was the one creating buckets and hitting key shots.

They have a pretty deep team and guys off the bench that aren't afraid of the moment, so it's not quite as hard to try to replace him this season. There will be times during this series when they'll miss him though that is for sure.


They looked just as good without him as they did with him.

Like FVV with the raptors, because of the matchup - the Raptors were actually better without FVV

One game.

The Bucks are absolutely not better without Middleton, that's crazy talk man. They could still win the series without him, but they are not better without him.

They're not missing Middleton yet because Grayson Allen has been a very good replacement for him shooting like 65% from 3's or some shit since he got more time.

People just don't want to say he's good because he's a scumbag but he's been huge for them.

I tried to tell kim and them this but they didn't want to hear it.

Allen is not Middleton though. He's a nice bench piece, he's playing well, etc, but he's not Middleton in close games when they need a bucket. Middleton can be streaky but he's also proven Championship clutch closer as we saw last year.

This is exactly how I feel about Grayson Allen... He is playing huge for them.. Even without Middleton tho, the Bucks defense is so lanky & versatile.. Huge bodies out there so the Celtics are gonna have to make a lottttt of Jump Shots...

Exciting ass series all over..
