Are the Bucks foreal?

[scuzzy]

16 straight wins


24-3, 1/3 season is a legit sample


I think we've seen enough


Milbuck?

[L8krH8tr]

hell ya, this is their only chance or else Giannis will bounce soon. They are stacked as hell and I can't believe they have both Lopez bros.

[MaxPlayer]

Giannis is as good as anyone, and they're super deep.

The one thing that could hurt them is the lack of a great second option to take the pressure off of Giannis. Middleton is a nice player, but he's inferior to probably any recent #2 on a championship team.

[brooks_thompson]

I'm saying no since Bledsoe has admitted anxiety problems when the pressure is on and has sucked the last 2 playoffs because of it. Until that's fixed, I don't believe they can make it through.

[FKAri]

Until Yanni can beat my niece in a FT contest, I'mma go with no.

[superduper]

Janis is still embarrassing so nah, not at all.

[Marchesk]

ECF last year, looking improved this year, why wouldn't they be?

[stalkerforlife]

Better than LA without an additional superstar.

Giannis having a better season than Bran ever had.

[Trollsmasher]

RS pretenders

[Draz]

I'm actually happy the Bucks are this GOOD. Because Giannis won't leave without getting his ass ripped multiple times hard. With that said, I like him but, he needs to lose so he can leave :)

[DMAVS41]

For sure, but just like last year...they are going to lack that 2nd guy that is almost always needed to win a title.

They could win, but my guess would be that Lakers/Clippers and potentially the Sixers (if they make a move) would be slight favorites in a playoff series.

At the same time it's not just about having that 2nd guy but also being able to elevate him and get him easy looks during key impactful moments, much like Kobe and Pau. It was nice that Kobe had Pau but if he left him on an island all by himself much like Giannis does to Middleton, we wouldn't be singing these praises of those 2 Lakers titles.

Giannis needs to do a better job of learning what his #2 needs to be most effective and doing what it takes to elevate his #2 to achieve it.

Middleton is a very capable scorer but clearly would be greatly benefitted from a #1 leading the way for him.

NOBODY is reading that worthless shit you just wrote. NOBODY.

[SpaceJam]

Hard to tell, they've had the fortunate luck of facing

Heat without Jimmy Butler
Mavs without Luka
Wolves without KAT
Jazz without Gobert
Blazers without Lillard
Grizzlies without Ja
Clippers without Kawhi/PG
Pistons without Blake

Kind of funny don't really hear about how easy their schedule has been...

[WolfGang]

Nah. Giannis needs another guy. I think it's that simple.

Nah, and I really like Middleton...he's just not in the same class of player as a Gasol. Has nothing to do with his use or Giannis...he's just not that level of player.

Bucks could still win...could pull off an 11 Mavs type title for sure, but usually teams like this lose when playing teams with multiple all-nba players.

[scuzzy]

First team to clinch a playoff birth


This may possibly be a 2014 Warriors unit on the come up


Or.... just another 2014-2018 Raps :lol

These posts didnt age well

Middleton will make an All NBA team and is a top 15 player this season. Right in line with peak Pau.

Comparing this team to the 11 Mavs is a complete joke. This Bucks team has similar level coaching but far more talent top to bottom outside of their best player. Not even comparable.

Middleton, Bledsoe and Brook are better than any teammate Dirk had in 11. And George Hill >>>> Barea

[fourkicks44]

Middleton>Harden

[Jasper]

lov being the under dog throughout the playoffs with HOME COURT ADVANTAGE.

[tontoz]

Yes. I have seen this movie before. Young team comes up short in the playoffs and comes out with a vengeance the following season. Barring injuries i think they get to the Finals pretty easily.

[Kiddlovesnets]

The Bucks are for real, they will win it this year barring injuries to key players.
