Well, here we go. This matchup probably makes all Bucks fans nervous. Have to be more confident this year with Jrue Holiday, a better DiVincenzo and to a lesser extent....Bobby Portis, Bryn Forbes and Jeff Teague as younger and improved bench options.

I think the road to the NBA Finals will have never been tougher for the Bucks. They are potentially looking at Miami, Brooklyn and Philly to reach the NBA Finals. I think Brooklyn has to be the favorite with Durant, Harden and Irving.....but they do struggle defensively.

This is definitely the time when the Bucks will be judged. These playoffs will reveal a lot about Budenholzer, Giannis, Middleton and the addition of Holiday. An entire week to prepare as well with the Play-in tournament.
