Going to be a bunch of coin flip games coming down to the wire. Neither team is really great in that regard to be honest. Going to be Middleton vs Harris in some of those games and let's see who comes through at the end. Embiid is easy to cover down the stretch as you can just double him and he's going to settle for a contested fadeaway. I'm honestly not really worried about Philly. Our defense is locked in right now and Giannis typically has his way vs Philly lately. Think, it like his last 9 or 10, he's averaging 35 PPG or something. Giannis vs Ben Midds vs Tobias Jrue locking down Curry Lopez on Embiid I think we match up well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodjahs12 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Both these teams are probably better than a crippled Nets team. That being said if the guards show up and Giannis can be better than 60% from the line they should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the Bucks just overwhelming the 76ers and then we know how those series usually end for the Bucks. It's going to be competitive and will be another long series if the 76ers get by the Hawks. Bucks not having an elite shot maker down the stretch will always give the team some rocky moments in tight series. You just have to hope the ball bounces your way and you can somehow pull these games off. Let's be real, they aren't going to have any coaching advantage which makes it even more difficult. Should be two good competitive conference finals either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be two good competitive conference finals either way. Over the last 3+ years (considering I said his last 9 or 10 games)? I'd assume that some of them were or close to it. Giannis has gone at Embiid and Simmons every time they play. They aren't the Raptors. They don't have an elite shot maker either. I'm just not that worried about them. That's all I'm gonna say. If we lose, it'll be because we choked. There's really no way around it. Edited June 20, 2021 by beekay414 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd say they are definitely more talented than this version of the Nets, but neither team has KD. That alone closed the gap and made the Nets a threat. The Bucks will need to play better than they did vs the Nets against either the 76ers or Hawks, but they are capable of doing so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's why I said neither team is really great in these tight games since neither has that takeover player. Middleton vs Harris getcha popcorn ready!!!!!! 76ers end up losing these big leads because come 4th quarter time, they offense stales and they get tight. Best bet is just hoping they continue just force feeding Embiid and he takes it upon himself to try to take every shot and just bricks contested fade aways lol. Simmons is mentally cooked just like Harris was against the Bucks. Simmons has no confidence at all and is just moving around the court with no purpose. This is why I don't think it is a forgone conclusion these guys get past the Hawks. Trae Young has no fear at all and if the game is close....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Middleton to be better on the road and there's almost no way Jrue can continue to be as bad as he was in this series but you just never know with this team. Lopez might have just played the game of his life he was massive and overlooked in game 7. If he can build on that and we can continue to get quality minutes from bench players like Pat they're in very good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartica4Real Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Doc is one of the few coaches worse at making adjustments than Bud lol. And the Hawks just get talent gapped too hard and aren't fully there yet. I feel like Bucks win either way and it goes a max of 6 games. We headed for a Bucks/Suns Finals.

The one game Trae played vs the Bucks, Jrue put the absolute clamps on him. Dude went 3/17 that night. Jrue would be licking his chops.

RandyMossIsBoss Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Bucks easily beat Hawks… could go as many 6 games, but I don’t think it ever feel like a close series. Bucks 4-1 is my prediction there. 76ers are tougher draw. As much of a good defensive matchup it is on paper for the Bucks, it is for the Sixers, plus HCA. Gritty series, but Bucks higher offensive ceiling (can shoot you off the court) and Embiid’s injury make me feel comfortable with Bucks here. 6 or 7 game series, I’ll go Bucks in 6.

Texansfan713 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Bucks will beat each of those teams. I actually think this might be the year the Bucks win it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
