What team do you think scares Milwuakee the most in the east?

[Im Still Ballin]

I think it's Boston.

They have 4 skilled 20PPG tier scorers who hit from deep at effective rates/volumes. When one's having an off-night, another is having a hot-night. There's a sense of security and reliability having 4 guys who average around 20 a night.

They are also an evenly balanced team -- top 5 in both defense and offense.

Toronto might have the better personnel and defense to stop Giannis... But can Milwaukee stop Boston's 4-pronged offensive approach? They have great interior defense, but they deliberately give up A LOT of 3 pointers.

Can you afford to do that with these type of scoring operators?

[MrFonzworth]

Embiid.

Definitely Boston.

Would be awkward if they beat Milwaukee this year

I might go with the Raptors based on match-ups. Boston's really good but they couldn't stop Giannis & the shooters last year when they had Horford, what makes you think anything changes this season? As good as the Cs have looked recently, they're barely an above-average 3PT shooting team and I'm not trusting Kemba nor Tatum in the Playoffs.

Raptors have the experience and they know how to defend Giannis. Kawhi and Green were big losses defensively, though the stats show that they actually have improved quite a bit on that end in the RS while taking a slight hit offensively, but they've gone 42 - 15 despite all the injuries to their key players. They're much better than Boston at shooting 3s and they have the better defense right now. Siakam is a better scorer than Tatum. Lowry is better than Kemba. Ibaka still has a lot left in the tank. FVV has improved a lot.

Rockets in the finals....They only fear 2 teams Sixers and Celtics....They fear Marc Gasol as a singular player but no one else on the Raptors

[brooks_thompson]

What's people's deal with the Sixers. They're like the 10th place team in the league. When was the last time a 10th place team made actual noise? The mid-90s Houston Rockets? They're just not that good. I don't understand how Horford and Harris give them a stacked starting lineup unless we're counting dollars, and they have one guy, a rookie, off the bench.

[brooks_thompson]

Just read about Simmons' impingement...seems to be the fad injury of the year, like keto or atkins. Cross them off

[KD7]

Not Philly or Toronto

[MiseryCityTexas]

Cavs. Drummond and Sexton would dominate.
