NBA: 5 teams that surpassed expectations during the 2018-19 season

Milwaukee Bucks

Led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks have been one of the biggest surprises in the NBA This season. While many expected them to be in the playoff race in the Eastern Conference, I don’t think anyone expected them to dominate the way they have this season out East.

They will enter the playoffs with the best record in the East, and will be the favorites to represent the East in the NBA Finals. The team has absolutely exploded under first-year Mike Budenholzer, and the scariest part of this all is that they’re barely scratching the surface on their potential.

This is certainly the team’s breakout season, but there’s no question that this is just the beginning for the Bucks. If this team can keep its core together, and they will have their first test this summer, the sky is the limit.
