What makes you clowns not understand that the Bucks are better, at least right now, than all these overrated teams? You think the Bucks would EVER get fapped by a 15 win college level Bulls team on the second night of their back to back when you were on regular rest? You think the Bucks aren't better than a team like Philly who plays no defense and is a .500 team (like Boston) on the road? You think the Bucks aren't a little better than a team that was lucky to beat the Spurs by 3 points, a team that's been pretty bad on the road this year and has been terrible on defense for all intents and purposes, at home and follows up that performance by getting trampled at home vs Orlando? And by the way they also barely beat Brooklyn a couple games before that at home by 2 points. Championship teams win at least 2 of those 3 by double digits. We're talking borderline playoff teams at home and you labor in all 3 games.
Granted, I may be a little hard on the Raptors here as they've won a lot of games, but they've been in a lot more closer games than Milwaukee has and has a worse point differential than Boston despite being up 6 games in the loss column on them which means they have a number of close wins and fair amount of 9-10+ point losses.
Just don't think the Bucks get any respect from all the morons on espn and other networks. They're better on defense than all those teams with the exception of maybe Boston where it's a wash possibly (although I think they are better in defensive effiency) and I think they are the number one team on offense in effiency. And they're point differential is +10 which is 4 points higher than the next best team in the east and the highest in the NBA. They are yet to lose back to back games this season.
Think ESPN just loves to take a shit on the Bucks because they aren't a name brand big market like Boston or Philly. Not saying those teams are bad or anything, but right now Milwaukee is playing much better and retards like Barkley on TNT say he doesn't know who is the best. Michael Wilbon says the same shit.
Only question is if the Bucks are playing above their heads because they're a good regular season team which may not translate to the playoffs as well as people think and teams like Boston are underachieving because they're bored with the regular season. However, I think even if you do get bored by the regular season a championship level team would be doing better than Boston or Philly. I mean look at Golden State who doesn't give a shit at all (although I do think they're much more beatable this year so there is something to their struggles) and is still projected to win 60 games whereas Boston is in the very low fifties. Boston and Philly have the same record as Portland and no one takes Portland seriously so why do they take Boston and Philly like they're world beaters? Hell Portland has a tougher schedule in the west as teams 5-10 are much better.
Not saying the Bucks are a lock to win the East. Who knows. But don't tell me you can't separate these teams when one is 8 games better in the loss column. They deserve a little more respect than that for completely dominating up to this point. They should be treated as the favorite to win the conference and possibly beat GS when they have homecourt throughout the playoffs.
With all that being said, they probably lose 3 of the next 5 and make me look bad after posting this. They do have some challenging road games coming up.
..Look at the Dubs...they look like crap at home the last 2 months or so...Fooling around and barely winning most of their games...Come playoffs u know they are for real and will turn it on and dominate....I know Boston will do the same and so will Toronto with Kawhi....Not sure I can say the same about the Bucks...Slow them down and put them in a half court grind game and they are not that great..Until proven otherwise...they will be what the 76ers were last year in the playoffs...2nd round and done.
