Every upstart team, such as this season's Bucks, has a show-and-tell to play before we typecast them as contenders or pretenders. The telling is done during the regular season, where the Bucks have already told us more than an earful about their potential; now, it's time for them to show it in the playoffs.

CoY favorite Mike Budenholzer needs to show he can maximize his first superstar-helmed roster in a seven-game series; the league-best regular-season team needs to show that it's not just paper tigers; and MVP frontrunner Giannis needs to show that he's the BITW come playoffs time.

And why shouldn't Giannis do so at least in this series? No one has the stature to guard him against for Andre Drummond and a hobbled Blake Griffin

Bucks sweep.

Easy sweep is easy

I gave Detroit one , cause Bucks could stink it up , under pressure or some dam
absurd shooting off night , standing around flat.
It will be perfect for Coach Bud to kick some as$ and get them to the title series.

Everyone's talking about what a mis-match GS vs. LAC is. Is this series any more competitive?

I love my Pistons so I will give then 1. Bucks in 5. The greek freak is the man, and I cannot wait to see what he does this Playoffs.

Once you get past my Pistons, I'm rooting for ya!

I say Bucks in 5 out of respect for Blake's talent but if he's legit hurt this really should be a sweep. Hopefully the absence of Brogdon doesn't matter in this one, definitely will against Boston tho.

Bucks woud have to be playing with such a level of boredom to lose a game in this series.

Respect to blake? Who's blake? They swept them in the regular season by a wide margin. Bucks ain't losing one game this series, easy sweep is easy

[b]Detroit Pistons vs Milwaukee Bucks
[/B]The Detroit Pistons are a solid team but they

Pistons are a one man team for the most part and Blake is the man. He's banged up. If he's healthy and other guys show up I can see the Pistons stealing one game...that's it. Series 4-1 Bucks.

Pistons in 6

Pistons pack paint on Greek freak easy win

It wasn't gonna be close with Blake, but without him it's a ****ing wash. Easy sweep.

Giannis is about to lay the pipe on these fools

Giannis gonna get 40 easy

Pistons are just getting daddy dicked

its just too easy for the MVP

Greek freak on a completely different gear right now

Pistons were gonna get rekt regardless if Blake played or not. Lol at acting like he was gonna win some games for them or even keep them close

This is training for Milwaukee

Blake is soft.

Giannis seriously needs to work on his fts this off-season, 3/6 is not a good look.

lol MVP with his weak @ss FT.

Thought the Pistons would play some hard defense and make this a 6 game series. Yikes

It's the playoffs so obviously flake is out injured:lol :lol

This will be a nasty sweep. The Pistons have no business being in the playoffs

6 game series? lol

[QUOTE=ArbitraryWater]6 game series? lol[/QUOTE]
It's looking like a real dumb assumption right now, I can't deny it :lol

am i the only one that's reminded of the 09 cavs with this bucks team?

[QUOTE=lilteapot]am i the only one that's reminded of the 09 cavs with this bucks team?[/QUOTE]
Yes you are the only one because the ball doesn't stop in anyone's hands too long like it did with LeBron and those Cavs. While the Cavs that year shot a good percentage from three (38%) as a team. The Bucks have made almost double the amount of threes in the regular season that the 2009-10 Cavs did.

[QUOTE=lilteapot]am i the only one that's reminded of the 09 cavs with this bucks team?[/QUOTE]

They are similar, except the Bucks roles players are MUCH better.

Lopez>Big Z
Bledsoe>=Mo W
Brogdon>Delante
Middleton>Varajao

Giannis being 4/10 from the line deadass has me triggered, make your ****ing fts. Say what you want about embitch and Har_ens fts draws but atleast they make them

Worst series ever.

[QUOTE=lilteapot]am i the only one that's reminded of the 09 cavs with this bucks team?[/QUOTE]
Yes you are, stfu you're a casual. They're nothing alike

this gotta be the worst game of all time. :lol

[QUOTE=stalkerforlife]Worst series ever.[/QUOTE]


:roll:

butt ugly.

Damn that was dirty.

In before Giannis get hurts.....Up 41 and hes still in the game...
