  1. As a Bucks fan, i want you guys to go to the ECF and sweep the Heat 4-0! 😤 and Congrats on your win against the Cavs🔥.

  2. Shout out to Gavin and Alex for all the hard work over the years.

  3. The key is how are we going to prevent the heat from getting Brunson isolated to have to guard butler via picks. It is going to be their strategy

  4. I have this feeling that Knicks with their effort will just drag every team down to being a bad offensive team. I suspect Heat will not shoot as great as they did in round 1. This would be the key to our success. Mitchell in the paint and Hart/Grimes/RJ on the perimeter will be key match ups. I don't think Heat has a great PF (unless you consider Butler as one) so Toppin's defense won't be as crucial. On offense, however, Obi hitting his 3s and making RIGHT decisions with the ball will be key. I feel Obi is very very iffy when you let him have the ball and force him to drive from the 3pt line – he doesn't know what to do. He either turns it over or makes bad shots. If he has a straight line to the basket – it's dunk but every thing else, he has no skills yet. No handle or mid-range shooting. This is where i am concerned about him.
