On Wednesday night, the Milwaukee Bucks will take on the Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals. Milwaukee fans have been waiting for their team to make it to this point in the playoffs since 2001.
The Bucks, as a team, have also been waiting for this game, albeit not as long. Since wrapping up their lopsided conference semi-finals series against Boston last Wednesday, Bucks players and coaches patiently waited and watched as the Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors duked it out for an opportunity to play Milwaukee.
After a grinding Game 7 and a buzzer-beating shot that touched the rim at least 67 times (not really but it felt like that many), the Raptors advanced and now travel to Milwaukee.
