The Milwaukee Bucks, Memphis Grizzlies and Cleveland Cavaliers are hoping there’s truly no place like home.
The teams that earned home-court advantage in the first round of the NBA playoffs risk having their seasons end Wednesday night on their home floors. Of the four games on tap, only Sacramento is guaranteed of playing on among the four Game 5s on tap.
“We’ve just got to go home and win a game,” Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said. “We’ve talked about it in the locker room. We’ve got to go to Milwaukee and win a game. Life is not complicated. That’s what we’ve got to go do.”
Milwaukee has never rallied from a 3-1 deficit in 10 previous tries. Now the Bucks are trying to avoid becoming the fourth No. 1 overall seed in the NBA playoffs — in a format used since 1984 — to go out in Round 1, joining Chicago (2012), Dallas in 2007 and Seattle in 1994.

Coach buds plan isn't working, need to make adjustments, more guys need playing time. Crowder needs to play, Javon Carter, and more bench guys, the starting 5 is tired so you need some spark from the bench.
