Or son

I'm curious how many people still think the Bucks have little or no chance of beating the Warriors?

I agree with all except I got Harrell over Lou

Someone from the league office need to explain to me how the clips got 2 candidates for 6th man. Isn't one of them actually the 7th man?

Dinwiddie from Brooklyn should have been there instead of one of the Clippers

Yes. Whether or not they can win depends on whether the Warriors get KD back close to 100% or not.

If they do, the Warriors are likely to win, but it should be a good, at least 6 game series.

Without KD...the Bucks have a great chance.

They are really good.

Given home court, they should be favorites in the series if GS is without KD.

If KD returns in time for game 1, the Warriors are favorites, but I give the Bucks a pretty decent chance. Better than I ever gave any other team facing the Dubs.

I have been really impressed with Milwaukee.

I will tell you how.

They made their best 2 players come off the bench for some godforesaken reason.

Thoughts? @TurnUpTheHeat @Heatles84

I wouldn't mind it because from everything I'm hearing, the free agency class of 2020 is pretty horrible so why not Conley who has 2 years left on his contract instead of wasting money on a mediocre free agent next summer?

This is about the same way I see it. The Bucks are a really good team with maybe the best player in basketball and a near perfect assortment of supporting players.

I would be very surprised to see JJ come back. Certainly nowhere near what he is getting paid now.

I hope they share it.

Both are deserving.

But, yeah....math ain't right....lol

Yup. Conley would be a great fit there.

Closers.

Remember: Trez, Tobias, Gallo theall played same positions, more or less.

Lou vs 2nd units early was our biggest advantage....even if he does most of his damage late.

True

I just don't like the strategy though.

Starters can also be closers and anchor second unit rotations if you stagger.

Waiting 6 minutes or so a half to bring your best 2 players in might maximize their impact against second units, but it also minimizes their playing time.

And I just don't agree with the philosophy behind it.

He'd be our best player, but not sure how much better we'd be.
What about Dion, Dragic?
It really all depends on what other moves are made IMO.
