Being a prisoner of the moment is the default state as a fan. See: Literally every opening segment I’ve ever written for this “column” since I started it like three years ago. We win, I’m convinced we’re never losing again. We lose, I want everyone not named Giannis to take public transit back to the hotel/airport/their homes. That’s what we’re here for.
Take a step back from Milwaukee 2-1 series against the Boston Celtics, though, and I think we can all generally agree that things are starting to find their own equilibrium. In game one, the Bucks brought the full brunt of a truly debilitating defense to bear against a Celtics team that just got done dispatching the NBA equivalent of traffic cones in the Brooklyn Nets.
