The Milwaukee Bucks will reach the NBA Finals

If I had told you this before the season, you probably would’ve laughed me off, but for much of the season the Milwaukee Bucks have been the second-best team in the Eastern Conference. They are currently on top of the conference at the moment, and have the least amount of losses in all the NBA.

They are led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who at this point might be the favorite to win the NBA’s Most Valuable Player of the year award, averaging 27 points, 13 rebounds and six assists per game on 59 percent shooting from the field.

When he’s on the floor and attacking the hoop, he’s as close to unstoppable as we’ve seen in the league this season. The Bucks are really good, and it’s time we begin to take them as the contender that they have been this year. I believe they’ll make the NBA Finals in 2019.
