Tabbed by many in preseason as a potential Finals preview, the Milwaukee Bucks and LA Clippers’ early season play at the quarter point of the campaign has done nothing to suggest that billing isn’t fitting for Friday’s game between the two teams.
The Los Angeles Lakers would certainly have something to say about that in the Western Conference side of the discussion, but the Clippers have largely been as good as advertised, and the Bucks have played at a level that makes it clear they should be viewed as the clear frontrunner in the East.
What makes Friday’s fixture all the more enticing, though is the fact that the two teams come into this game at something very close to top form.
