The Miami Heat and the Milwaukee Bucks have come a long way since 2013.
Although a fledgling herd of Bucks was hunted, skinned and left decomposing somewhere in the Wisconsin wilds by Miami in the first round of the 2013 NBA playoffs, the city of Milwaukee rebounded like few others have.
The infamy of Brandon Jennings’ “Bucks in six” war cry lives on, but Milwaukee has retooled since the Miami heat swept them, 4-0.
If that 2012-13 Bucks team had more time to percolate, it’d likely have been a recurring face in the Eastern Conference Playoffs.
