Are the Bucks for real?

Much like the Nuggets in the Western Conference, the Milwaukee Bucks have been a pleasant surprise this season. They are currently the top seed in the Eastern Conference, and Giannis Antetokounmpo is a real threat to win the NBA MVP award.

Question is, as we enter the final playoff push, can we signify the Bucks as a real threat to break through in the East and make the NBA Finals. In addition to Giannis, though, there are real talents on this team – including Eric Bledsoe, who is having a real underrated season, Khris Middleton and recently added Nikola Mirotic.

The Bucks and Raptors will be fighting for the next two months for the top seed of the East, and it won’t be an easily decided. Who will emerge?
