As a bucks fan, the C’s went all the way last year, they are the team to beat until shown otherwise

Celtics would’ve been shown otherwise if the bucks had khris. That man is a Boston killer

That Khris Middleton injury robbed us of a Bucks/Warriors Finals, it would’ve been great. As a Bucks fan, I think that Middleton injury exposed some of our role & bench players though, nobody was able to step up & help Giannis & Jrue. Jrue’s FG% in the playoffs was terrible, but can’t really blame him because he has to do so much on both ends. We need some real shooters, the Bucks only made 57 3pts in that series on 27% shooting, that’s pretty poor in 7 games while the Celtics made 110. Lopez, Hill, & Ibaka are showing their age. And after a great 1st round, Grayson Allen & Portis didn’t play well against the Celtics. Only Pat Connaughton played consistent during the Celtics series, but it’s just not enough. Hopefully Sandro Mamukelashvili is ready, he’s been doing so well in the G-League & he did great in the Fiba tourney. Hopefully our rookie Beauchamp turns into something good. Ingles should help too once he’s healthy. As long as we have our Big 3, we’ll be fine though.

Let’s see who’s still healthy come April, every contender is an injury away from no longer being in contention.

Stop lying to yourself that’s your prayer then your excuse would be they was young when they lose

@satirical mixed kid Grayson Lopez and even Jrue kinda sold game 6 & 7 vs the Celtics. If Giannis got even a little bit from them the Bucks win

You’re high out of your mind. Toronto might be the 5 or 6th best team…. Huge maybe

Giannis is the best player in the league. Milwaukee is a championship contenders like the Celtics, Sixers, Heat, Cavs. The health is the most important thing.

@Molly Weir seriously !
And if anything the East has been the tougher conference…
buddy boy
September 22, 2022 at 3:31 am
@Molly Weir Aside from GS which are pretty much a dynasty.. the Suns got outplayed in 21′
the Lakers got lucky with injuries throughout their playoffs especially vs Heat in 20′
Had any team besides GS make the finals they would lose vs Bucks, Nets, Heat, Sixers , Celtics.

For the Cavs : Donovan has to take that
Superstar step because hes their best player moving forward.

The sixers the heat and the cavs aren’t championship contenders.. there eastern conference contenders at best
WunderKid

@Molly Weir I did not say that DM is their savour but as a group the Cavs are legit. Now they need to figure out, Coach JB, how they re gonna work together. But for me, i see them ahead of the hawks even though they acquired murray.

Imagine Giannis with a reliable jumper and Kobe-like footwork..he’d be unstoppable and would enter top 5 all time

They’re the favorite. It’s not a far gone conclusion. It could be Bucks vs Celtics in conference finals. Only team that can spoil that is Brooklyn if things go right….

This generation 🤣 females don’t know nothing about sports. They be tryna to hard to be like us. Let the females have they own talk show stop tainting our sports cast. Don’t nobody wanna hear what a female got to say about sports they dnt even watch. They do a few research, watch some highlights n then talk sports. 👎🏼

Health is gonna be the major factor in whichever team wins, as always but if we took health out of the equation. I’m expecting a Brooklyn Nets vs LA Clippers finals. That would be so fun to watch series, both franchises vying for their 1st win.
