I just came across a crazy statistic on twitter. Apparently with tonights win over the Indiana Pacers the Milwaukee Bucks became the first team in NBA history to win a playoff game without their 2 leading scorers from the regular season playing. That shows just how difficult it is to pull off what they did tonight. Maybe a good omen.
They really need to get at least to survive this series because after it, one of their stars will be able to play but before that, the upcoming game six will be to live or die situation and also with the 76ers. I want to see game 7 at this early stage of the playoffs. in the west, neither the Clippers nor Mavericks are giving up easily against each other and this could also be a potential game 7 out there in the first round of the NBA playoffs, I wonder who will be advancing to the next round.
I mean they can try their very best, but I assume that the series is already over. It is a very great thing for Bucks that they managed to win 2 games in playoffs without both Giannis and Dame, shows how strong they are that they would win even without them, but unless Giannis or Dame comes back right now for game 6, then they are not going to win.
We are talking about actually having some trouble with the team, because they are barely playing. Indiana sucks, that is why Bucks managed to get some wins, but even if Giannis returns, not like he would be a star right away, he will not be 100% healthy, it will take time, and that means they have nothing to expect this season at all, they are going to suck without a doubt for sure.
