In a very (very) rough count of Milwaukee’s remaining games, I noted no fewer than 14 they should assuredly win if the team shows up. They may need every victory along the way, too, with the one seed in hand while opponents like the Boston Celtics sputter a little bit.
Thankfully, the Celts incurred a 2OT loss to the New York Knicks last night, assuring that the Bucks are now 1.5 games up in the standings. For the weeks ahead, I’m going to focus this portion of each open thread to chronicling what our nearest Eastern competitors have on the docket in the coming week.
