Sure we all know the bucks are ringless without the injuries, but they have been the last team standing. That automatically makes them better and a tougher out. The monkey is off their back. The nets imploded last year mostly because of kyrie so thats yalls own fault you couldn't get everyone out there. All im saying is dont get gassed up off one preseason win. The bucks are proven, ben still has MUCH to prove. His track record and attitude tell you he has no interest in being great. If he is not GREAT, it wont be enough to win big. His weaknesses always get magnified come playoff time. :manny:
Pointing out that the Nets will be a way better defensive team with guys like Ben/Royce out there isn’t really getting gassed up though m, it’s just facts

Along side with Clax
We’re definitely going to be a better defensive team than last year
The poster you quoted have no idea what he’s talking about

So you’re willing to say that having Royce O’Neale, Ben Simmons and Nic Claxton in the starting lineup instead of Seth Curry, Bruce Brown and Drummond wouldn’t yield better defensive results? I’m talking about over the course of a season not in this small sample.

They are all skinny....the regular season doesn't matter. This is about the playoffs and I believe giannis will put up great numbers against them. It wont look anything like that game last night is all im saying. Yall can delude yourselves if you want though...

Somewhat unpopular opinion….the regular season absolutely matters in terms of how teams are going to fare in the playoffs unless you’re Bron. Giannis isn’t even close to being in that sort of rarefied air.

The bucks offense as a whole even with Middleton in the chip season went through tons of lulls in the playoffs which kept Brooklyn in the series. Now they’re gonna fare better against what’s going to be a better defense?

All we're saying is this team has better defenders than last year

Having guys like Royce o neal, morris and simmons being able to guard guys like tatum, Brown, giannis is a big difference maker for this team. Something didnt have last year.

The Bucks still have a hit or miss offense. It’s entirely contingent on whether they’re making semi-contested 3s.

Finally get to see Gobert and Towns work. Their PnR game has been elite when only one has been out there so far.

This is going to be the toughest matchup for the Nets, has all of the pieces that we struggle with, stretch bigs, PnR giants, Fast attacking guards, decisive guards with shots.

Let's see how we attack this.

This lead is due to their aversion to involve Gobert, he's gotten a lot of favorable switches and the ball never finds him.

I'm loving the passing and not being afraid to attack the paint with this big team the Wolves have.
