Are the Bucks foreal?

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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