Remember, right when the Milwaukee Bucks went up 2-1 over the Toronto Raptors, how incredibly optimistic Bucks fans were about their team’s chances? Toronto is a good team after all–maybe the Bucks could compete with the Cleveland Cavaliers if they could take down Toronto!
First off, it’s never a good idea to put the cart before the horse. The Raptors won that series and demonstrated having a deep team and playoff experience can overrule a superstar like Giannis Antetokounmpo‘s presence, if only barely.
Any talk about Milwaukee keeping up with Cleveland feels insane right about now.
