How is it definitely? The Bucks lost their best perimeter defenders with Allen and Holiday. Can Middleton stay healthy?
We have seen this situation before where a big 3 is formed and first season they fall short. Also note they have a first year coach.
Sixers stayed the same
Celtics traded smart, got Kristaps, they slightly improved
Heat lost depth and got worse
I don’t see the other eastern teams matching the bucks offensively
They always can get help On defense, getting elite star scorers like dame is hard.
