Bucks reach the 50-win mark last night in Phoenix and can reach 60 wins if they go at least 10-3 down the stretch. Best record (50-19) in the East/NBA with the closest team (Boston) 3 games back. I don't care about 60 wins but I want the #1 seed.

This team is playing unbelievably good basketball and is showing its incredible depth. Middleton is really coming into his own again, Lopez is having one of his finest seasons and is a leading DPOY candidate, Giannis is a top MVP candidate (again), Holiday was an All-Star and is also having one of his best seasons. Portis, Crowder, Ingles, Allen, Connaughton and then the transformation of Jevon Carter. Not to mention Wes Matthews, who they are inevitably resting for playoff time along with Goran Dragic in their back pocket.

The Bucks have looked like a well oiled machine with so much talent that they can keep throwing at you in waves. In 2021, winning the championship, the bench was really limited (Portis, Connaughton, Forbes, Teague, Thanasis) and they still found a way to win. This 2023 edition is so much deeper and are really starting to gel now. It is going to be fun watching the stretch run and playoffs.
