they were so much better this year tho but yeah coach bud doesnt have a great playoff record
their regular season stats were pretty fucking good last year too. fwiw they were a double OT game away from being up 3-0 on the Raps last year and I am pretty sure they would have beaten the hobbled Warriors in the finals. I think they've got a good shot at it this year but I can see why people are skeptical. Bud seems bad in a series, both Boston in '18 and the Raps in '19 were able to disrupt their key strategies and he had no recourse. then again he's clearly the best coach the Bucks have had since I've started watching them so who knows. he's had a long time to think about this.
― frogbs, Wednesday, 29 July 2020 17:14 (three years ago) link
to me you can make a case for the bucks being a vulnerable no 1 seed w/o even bringing up bud. they still have to prove they can score enough in the halfcourt in the fourth quarter of playoff games & that's a personnel issue not a coaching one imo. the bucks played better this year and the continuity has to count for something but the roster around giannis hasn't changed from last year (arguably has gotten worse w/o brogdon). when teams start walling off the paint against giannis in the final 5 mins of games and there's no more transition, middleton, bledsoe, and brook are gonna have to step up and make plays.... george hill and divencenzo are going to have to hit shots. the bucks placed their bets on these guys. it's all been gravy in the regular season but we shall see... is george hill a 50% three point shooter? can middleton take over a crucial game if giannis can't get to the rim? can bledsoe contribute anything? these are open questions on all the players
bucks are still clearly the favorite bcuz every other team in the east is flawed but i think they're way closer to toronto, boston, philly and miami in a playoff scenario than the season long point differential indicates
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 29 July 2020 17:16 (three years ago) link
playoff bledsoe is the problem
― Spottie, Wednesday, 29 July 2020 17:19 (three years ago) link
they just seem like theyve got the stuff this year, theyve been together where a bunch of teams in their way are on overhauled rosters, theyve come close before and have steadily improved, tho obvs the layoff and the bubble are huge wildcards
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 29 July 2020 17:19 (three years ago) link
if middleton can maintain his level of play i think theyve got it hes been so good this year, and thatll allow bledsoe et al to do less be the role players they are
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 29 July 2020 17:21 (three years ago) link
*personally* i think a 1-4 bucks-heat match up would be mighty interesting.... giannis only averaged 21 points in two games vs the heat this year (both losses) and i think the heat have the no 1 giannis defender in the east (bam), plus they're crazy deep at wing defender now after the memphis trade. ultimately the heat can't score enough to win that series but they'd put the bucks to the test imo in a real way especially in the scenarios i'm describing above.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 29 July 2020 17:25 (three years ago) link
lakers have a lot of good vibes but i still have no clue what their best 5 looks like. rondo and bradley are out and thats two playable vets.

― lag∞n, Wednesday, July 29, 2020 1:21 PM (four minutes ago)
yeah to me he is the key. giannis gets all the pub and rightly so but if you take a step back, they're paying middleton $137 million. he needs to be able to get buckets in playoff games pretty much at will when the defense is throwing everything at giannis. if he can't do that, the bucks probably made a bad bet and it could very well cost them giannis. no pressure!

― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 29 July 2020 17:34 (three years ago) link
yeah if any team seems custom built to take them out its the Heat
imo the Bucks have probably the least amount of flaws of all the big contenders, they legitimately have a very good bench which allows them to destroy other teams while having their stars only play ~30 minutes. if the plan is gonna be to force someone to hit open 3s, I'll take it. the Raps did that last year and it worked, but I think there's some luck there, it seemed like everyone on the team shot below average from game 3 on. agreed that someone's gonna have to step up but that's true of every team...how far do the Raps get last year without VanVleet? as Spottie mentioned the big question mark for them is Bledsoe
