While I wouldn’t say that fan optimism came crashing down after its heights last week, our usual opinion polls took a step back to their more typical levels, reflecting the 1-3 road trip and its two blowouts. Here are the highlights:
- The majority of respondents didn’t think their opinion that Milwaukee would be the East’s two-seed changed from the previous week, but 33% were less confident.
- A similar majority felt that players’ defensive efforts (or lack thereof) were the reason for the Lakers loss, and only 26% of voters pointed the finger at Doc Rivers.
