Over the past couple of months, there’s an argument to be made that the Milwaukee Bucks have been the best team in the Eastern Conference. And with the collapse that is happening with the Miami Heat, it’s hard to think otherwise at the moment.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the most impossible forces in the league, Jrue Holiday has been playing at a high level as of late, and Khris Middleton is still one of the best second or third options in the league.

Brook Lopez is back and has given the Bucks another shot in the arm. It would be extremely surprising if the Bucks didn’t make another deep playoff run. I don’t think it’s safe to assume they can’t repeat this season.
