The popular pick (and most likely correct one) for the East Finals team is Boston understandably. Toronto and Philly are in that mix too.

Don’t sleep on Milwaukee though. One of the best players in the game and a solid young team


They have themselves a great coach in Bud, but Bledsoe had a bad year last season, and Middleton is probably gone after this year. All of sports talk media is hoping for AD to be traded but the Bucks can't be all too confident in their future.

the 1st year to 5/6th year picture of: Dwight, AD, and Giannis are like "holy shite"

while guys like Drummond and LeBron looked insanely built their rookie year already.

I get they took Boston to the wire but Boston had no business winning last year without Gordon/Kyrie.


Boston still beat Philly and took LBJ to 7. When can we stop acting like they were a mediocre run of the mill East team?

Where did you gather that I think Boston is a run of the mill east team? Take away the top 2 players on any roster and you won’t expect them to compete for a conference title which is a testament to them, my point was Milwaukee competing with Boston last year in the playoffs is not the same as challenging Boston this year with a healthy Irving and Gordon

I mean, they didn’t they lost two All Star caliber players. Most scenarios that team isn’t competing. I don’t know what you’re arguing here.

Hard to take them too seriously since they didn’t really add much to the roster and they finished as a 7th seed in a super weak east last year.


Didn't add much?





My new favorite player in the league..

Geez, just like Durant, many feared Giannis would not cut it in this league because of his skinny frame. Well, that is clearly no longer the case. They call him Greek Freek for a reason.

With Lebron out west, Giannis is now the best player in the East. The Celtics remain the better team, but the Bucks will battle for 2nd place with the 76ers.

I had high hopes for him, really thought he would've played better. I think they need a legit shooter or big man if they wanna make a serious run in the East.

Probably should have spent his summer in the basketball gym improving on his jumpshot. That extra weight will do little to nothing to help him improve as a basketball player. He'll likely lose it all by November anyway.

You can't lift weights and work on your shot?

I also think the added muscle will help his game at least a little.

Maybe his recent discovery of our fine American cuisine such as corn dogs has aided his muscle growth.

The Raptors were 1st last season, and by all accounts got better this offseason. Celtics, Raptors, Sixers are the top 3 in some order, IMO. Bucks are 4th, unless they make a big roster change before the season starts.

With LeBron gone, I actually think the East will be interesting/entertaining. The Finals probably won't be though, not that they were last year anyway
