Bucks better get Middleton back. Boston was the best team in the league after the all star break.
I don’t think it matters. Celtics are playing well. But the Nets didn’t have even half the quality horses that the Bucks have even without Middleton. The Bucks will need him in June. But not in May.
The Suns are exposed without Booker. They probably get through against the Pelis. But without Book, they are the one of many in the West. The City is still in the drivers seat there.
The Nets have been overhyped from the beginning though.
You can't just look at what the Heat did and think it's going to be that easy with Durant. Bad depth, aging role players, Durant's game is kind of weak for the playoffs, his other piece has only played over 60 games a handful of times in his career. Third piece doesn't act like he wants to even be in the league.
Im not a Steve Nash guy, but I think it’s hard to judge a coach on the Circus that was the Nets this year. He no doubt gone. But He’ll get another chance.
Don't underestimate the Mavs. We don't know how healthy Booker will be and if Memphis/Golden State beat each other up in a series I can see Luka tearing through either of those teams in the western conference finals. Heat (Yes they are winning the next round) have an outside shot at beating the winner of the Celtics/Bucks but ultimately I think Bucks get it done and get back to the finals.
So I kind of just realized during the playoffs that Brad Stevens is no longer coaching the Celtics. That could be bad news for my Bucks. Along with no Middleton
But I'm sticking with the heart of a champion in this one. Bucks

Celtics aren't either
