Well, here we go. A superstar, an improving player in a contract year, another trying to salvage his reputation, another trying to get his first deal, and a gang of bench players who can actually play. Oh, and a former COTY who has a more balanced level of talent than he’s ever had to coach.
Should be a 50 win season, right?
Add in the LeBron-less Eastern Conference and a top 4 seed too, right?
The Bucks have surrounded Giannis with shooting and more shooting. Coach Budenholzer preaches pace, pace, pace, which kick Giannis’ numbers into another stratosphere. If the preseason is any indication, they’re going to slaughter teams pretty regularly in the EC.
So why should we be apprehensive? Because it’s the Bucks. Last year was supposed to be 50 wins and a top 4 seed- BY February they traded their star PF, fired their coach, and finished with 45 wins. But the Boston series should have restored at least a little hope- they should be better now.
Over/Under for wins is set at 48. Take the over. The Bucks time has finally come...
