Series Thread: 1st Round: 1) Bucks vs 8) Heat

[PPhan]

All depends on Giannis.

Maimi can win the series if Giannis is out.

He comes back in game 2 and plays well?

Then yeah. I agree.

Tyler is a huge miss for Miami though. We have a losing record without him this season and the offense suffers big time. At least the Bucks still have a winning record without Giannis.

They did the bigger east coast teams yesterday I guess. Then they got the Lakers and Bucks in early. Apparently an early start is worse on a Sunday.

I mean…

That is a mistake.

Schedule 2 East and 2 west each day.

Also could have started the Bucks/Heat at 1:30

If both teams are at full strength the Bucks win.

If the Bucks are missing Giannis and the Heat are missing Herro?

It is a coin flip.

Yea the Heat will miss Herro. But not as much as Milwaukee will miss Giannis.

It all turned out well as nuggets stomped Minnesota out so we didnt have to stay up after 1 am

I wasn’t going to watch that game anyway.

But you totally lose the advantage of scheduling weekend games when people can watch them if you start one at 11 on Sunday night.

I disagree. The Bucks have been playing well without Giannis all season. Meanwhile, without Herro, I don’t know that the Heat have enough scoring.

Playing well without Giannis in the regular season and doing it in a 7 game series are very different things.

Herro is an important piece, but it's not like they lost Jimmy or Bam.

What were the odds the Heat had of winning this series before game 1 with Giannis and Herro healthy?

What are their odds now?

They improve 100% for sure if Giannis is out. No doubt about it.

It is amazing how a game 1 road win can change the narrative of the underdog team. I am so invested in this series now

At least you’re taking ownership of the fact that you quit after the first playin game.

I thought it would be quick and painless series for the bucks like barkley said. Now im expecting a 3 a long series. Win 2 of 3 at home to force a game 7

Best news possible this early. That being said, an MRI is only going to reveal structural damage. Dude is going to be dealing with pain throughout the playoffs.

Yes sounds like a pain management thing. The needle will help.

Giannis MRI clean; Bucks optimistic about status

The Bucks will continue to monitor Giannis Antetokounmpo's back injury, but Mike Budenholzer said that an MRI came back clean and that the two-time MVP is making "progress."
