Let us begin with a basic truth that undergirds this Milwaukee Bucks-Indiana Pacers playoff series: there are no silver bullets available to these Bucks that aren’t the Pacers shooting well below their averages for the hell of it or Giannis Antetokounmpo returning to the court in relatively good health.

However, we’re a website with a mission to try and strike that fine balance between emotion and analysis to better understand the conundrum the Bucks recurrently find themselves in.
