I got Bucks at -12 last night, even though they covered game 2 (barely), they seem due for a smash here. Middleton played horrible, they had 26 fouls, 20 turnovers, Vucevic was on fire. Giannis hasn't had a big game yet either. And they still won by 15.
Main issue is Bud isn't taking these games that seriously because of how big the talent gap is. 11 man rotations, playing lineups w/o Middleton/Giannis on the floor, not matching BLopez minutes to Vucevic. He's coaching this like it is regular season still.
However, with the Heat looking to make quick work of Indy, Bucks better wanna get this over with and get that rest. But we shall see....

I watched most of the indy-miami game 2. I wondered how frustrated Malcolm Brogdon must feel. He played so well in that game just to have Oladipo and Warren be offensive black holes. I mean those 2 never see a shot they don't love. When they get Sabonis back next year, and brogdon can stay healthy that will be a team to watch next year.
I would try to move at lest one of warren or oladipo.
I don't see how the bucks don't come out of the east. Outside of injuries. I still have them as solid favorites to win it all, but i understand what you're saying about Bud. You have to at lest go to a 9 man rotation in the play offs come round 2. Giannis should also be playing more towards 35-37 min a game then the 30 he is getting in the next round.
Yeah, Bucks were due for a dominant game. Orl hot shooting kept it a little closer than I would've liked but we'll take it.
I like Hou -2 later, OKC will throw the kitchen sink as it is basically over if they lose this but I don't really see a ton of adjustments for them. Probably just comes down to if Rockets make their 3's or not but they've had no problems generating good looks.
