Milwaukee Bucks Title?

[Chopper1977]

Can the Milwaukee Bucks win the title this? Obviously, they have the Greek Freak but is there enough surrounding talent to overcome a stacked lineup such as the Warriors, Boogie, Klay, Durrant and Curry? The recent addition of Gasol may help get some quality minutes but can Bledsoe play any defense? Brogdon? Middleton has his off nights and is just an offensive player but Lopez can open up the middle and hit from deep which opens up the lane for the freak. I think they can!

No guarantee the Bucks come out of the East.

I don’t buy the Raptors as a contender, but you’ve got 4 solid teams that will def be in the mix. I’d add Indiana but with no Oladipo, I doubt they’re around at the ECF.

Bucks are a good team. Maybe a little like how Toronto peaked in the reg season, surprised some people, and shit the bed in the playoffs. Don’t be like that.

"Valladolid" - "Real" = forecast

Whatever the crisis, whatever the personnel problems, but “Real” is obliged to beat such a “Valladolid”. First, even the reserve composition of “blancos” by name and class is two heads stronger than the basic composition of “white-violet”. Secondly, the Madrid seriously owed their fans. It is hardly possible to win without the expenditure of effort. “Valladolid” - such a nasty rival, closed. I have no doubt that the owners of the whole team dig in their own half of the field and will heroically defend themselves. Given the problems of “Real” with creativity and its not the best in positional attacks, this tactic has the right to life. But obliquely-crooked (if only alive), and Madrid, I suppose, will give birth to their goal. Perhaps not one. To win the guests give quite a decent rate. On it, in fact, put.

No way, not even conference champs. One thing is regular season and other is play-offs +

As a Raptors fan I am afraid of the Bucks. However, without their star player, such as an injury, they can't seem to win. Toronto can win with or without thier top players. So I am not sure the bucks will do it. A good isolation on Antetukumpbo might shut down the bucks

 

[Cody5991]

Giannis is a beast but they don’t have a chance I really only see Warriors or Rockets winning it if Paul is healthy.

 

[riverokker]

That's hilarious Bucks in the Finals. Haha. Listen its Boston Celtics or Toronto Raptors fro. The East. Playoff experience counts. Raptors and Celtics have playoff ready guys . Anyways now to the west. The Golden state warriors will sweep the finals. No matter who they play. 4-0. That's a bet. Good Luck!♠️

I think the Raptors will actually make it to the dance this year.

They've been killed by Bron every year in the playoffs and he's finally gone, they won't have to face him throughout the playoffs. Big weight lifted off of their shoulders.

The Bucks have a strong starting 5 and good bench. They'll be a problem for the Raptors but I can see Toronto getting through them. Pau vs Marc battling in the playoffs would be awesome to see.

76ers could surprise everyone in the playoffs, I would not count them out. They're so good at home and so is Boston.

The only thing is they're not great on the road, and the Bucks and Raptors are both great Road Teams.

There'll be some long series' in the playoffs in the east, that's for sure.

Loaded roster and the nba would love it,but despite the raw deal my raptors get from the Officials I still think we make it to the finals

 

[Synopsis]

I think some people are overlooking something with elite teams in the east, and houston too... prone to injuries. With boston their top 2 are not healthy, and Irving is prone to injury in general. Philly is a different team with their big man out. Raptors... same. Kwahi is accused of faking injuries also, not sure if I believe that but he is moody for sure. When he is in top form though the raptors are stupid good.

Milwaukee Bucks at face value is very good and will be formidable in the playoffs. How they do in the playoffs is the big question.

My prediction is that they don't win it all.

 

[blata8ruga]

I think the Raptors come out of the East. They are so much better with Leonard, and Siakim is becoming a strong player in his own right and of course Lowery is a stud, he is one of the most competitive players I have ever watched. Even if the Bucks did win the East I don't think any team is beating the Warriors again this year, 3 peat for sure in my opinion.

 

[FanatsLV]

Not gonna be enough only with janis they need stronger bench players for the title fight

 

[crimsonblur]

Gasol doesn't do that much for the bucks, he'll probably only see like 2 minutes a game in the playoffs

 

[jho]

Milwaukee is simply not good enough

Their freak is amazing but he's not good enough yet to push this team further.

Bucks vs Celtics - 2-1
Bucks vs Raptors - 3-1
Bucks vs 76ers - 1-0

Please remind me again why the Raptors, Celtics, or 76ers are favored over the Bucks? Giannis is the clear MVP, and the bucks lineup top to bottom is stacked with solid players. The starting 5 of Giannis, Middleton, Lopez, Brogdon, Bledsoe...all those guys would be the best or 2nd best option on probably 2/3 of teams in the league. And the Bucks don't have a single weak player on the bench, the bench was overhauled with trades and there is tons of depth there. Believe me, the Bucks are much much more than just Giannis...it certainly doesn't hurt that the guy is virtually unstoppable. Very likely to be Bucks vs Warriors in the Finals...which could go either way. Bucks are 1-1 against the Warriors, both games were before they added Mirotic and Gasol though.

 

[johnny tigre]

I agree with jho, the greek freak is a very good player but he will not be able to carry milwaukee to the ECF. Maybe if he gets more good players around him...

I also agree that the other players around giannis are good but regular season games are different. These guys will fold under playoff pressure. Maybe next year, they will be tougher but not this year.

 

[Shooter74]

i think Warriors will win again....

These guys will fold because...? The Bucks have made the playoffs the last 2 years and drew tough matchups, and gave both teams they faced a real run for their money. They also have more veteran leadership than they have in past years, and giannis is a far more complete player than he was even last year...hence the whole MVP thing.

 

[99TERRANCE99]

Nba would like it but I don’t think so Warriors will wake up and gel ,maybe raptors make the finals but won’t win

 

[jho]

Bucks are still 2 players away from really competing for a title

 

[Synopsis]

Could have said that about the cavs the last handful of years also. The more I watch the bucks the more I'm being impressed by them. Just caught them destroying houston earlier tonight.

Bucks are still 2 players away from really competing for a title

 

[johnny tigre]

The bucks are a good team i agree, but in the end in my own opinion, it will still be the warriors who's gonna end up champions.

 

[we will rock you]

warriors will beat them just watch them turn it on once playoffs start no team can beat them maybe the rockets
