15 more wins are all that stands between the Milwaukee Bucks and eternal glory. 11 more against various levels of Eastern Conference talent, four against whoever it is that manages to make their way out of the West.
Maybe in years past that sort of number would seem daunting — impossible, even. But, when you’ve won 60 with what can only be described as relative ease, another 15 doesn’t seem like much at all.
A run to the Finals will not be easy, even for this historically great Bucks team. The crowds are that much more tuned in, competition ratcheted up just a bit more, a wasted possession feels like a death knell, a well-executed one breathing life back into a team.
