NBA Power Rankings: Boston Celtics, LA Clippers are getting hot at the right time
6. Milwaukee Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks have quietly been one of the most consistent teams in the Eastern Conference. If it hadn’t been for the amazing seasons that have been put together by the Philadelphia 76ers and the Brooklyn Nets, we’d be talking about how good the Bucks have looked this season with the addition of Jrue Holiday.
Unfortunately, this team is heading into the playoffs without much expectation. Especially with how this team bowed out in the playoffs last season in the second round. At the same rate, that could also work to the Bucks’ advantage.
Without much expectation, this is a team that could operate under the radar and potentially make a run to the NBA Finals this season without the pressure that generally comes with. Don’t give up on the Bucks entirely just yet.
