Reply to "What is a Successful Season for the Bucks at this Point?"

I think the Bucks have the best coach in the East. Bud won 60 games and went to the ECF with a Hawks team whose 5 best players were Paul Millsap, Kyle Korver, DeMarre Caroll, Jeff Teague, and Al Horford. Dennis Schroeder and Kent Bazemore were the other 2 rotation players.

Millsap and Horford were multi-time all-stars and are good players (especially Horford), but do either of them really seem like guys you'd build a team around?  Millsap made the All-Star team all 4 years with Bud in Atlanta and made 0 All-Star teams in his other 9 years in the league. He averaged 17-9-2 in those 4 years. Does Paul Millsap really stick in your mind as a guy who was that good? He's probably not even as good as Middleton. 

Before they actively tanked in his final year at Atlanta, they got to the playoffs his first 4 years and got to one ECFs. 

For the first time probably since George Karl, we'll go into a playoff series with the better coach (at least against everyone except maybe (and only maybe) Boston.
