I never figured this series would be a walk in the park, but nobody figured Giannis would just break his ass 11 minutes into the playoffs, either. Unable to recover from the strategic shakeup of losing Giannis in game one, claiming a redemptive victory in game two, and getting pantsed in game three, the Milwaukee Bucks quite suddenly find themselves facing their first do-or-die fight of these playoffs.
Never mind that losing tonight wouldn’t technically expel Milwaukee from the playoff field. There has been plenty in this team’s recent history to suggest they can and will win series that devolve into mud wrestling.
