1. Milwaukee Bucks (38-13)
To say that the Milwaukee Bucks have been impressive this season would be a massive understatement. For much of the season, and certainly as of late, this team has been the best team in the NBA, in both the Eastern and Western Conferences.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is a true NBA MVP candidate and Khris Middleton is an all-star caliber player. The job that first-year Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer has done shouldn’t be overlooked either.
The fact that the Bucks are having this breakout season should tell us all we need to know about the job that Jason Kidd wasn’t able to do with this roster. The Bucks are here, and a real threat to make the NBA Finals this season. How many predictions had the Bucks as the best team in the East heading into the year?
