It’s easy to overlook Hill and Mirotic as they were hurt and unable to play toward the end of the season. However, they are both very capable and solid contributors with playoff experience and their veteran presence can’t be overlooked.
Along with Brogdon and Sterling Brown they give the Bucks a tremendous amount of quality depth. Any four of those guys could start on a number of teams. Then you have Connaughton who is such great niche player hitting key shots and grabbing boards.
We saw this versus Boston that the Bucks just kept coming at them in waves and it took a crazy shooting and scoring game for Boston to win even one game. If you are facing Milwaukee how do you beat them 4 out of 7 games including at least one game in Milwaukee?
Personally, I thought Boston would be their toughest test and they dismantled them. Not to say Toronto can’t beat them but unless the Bucks suddenly forget how to play or revert back to Jason Kidd habits I see them advancing and if things go well I think they have a legitimate shot at a title this year. I know, it’s one game at a time but a championship is not a pipe dream this year. Not anymore.
