Right, as playoffs are different atmosphere and the defense is tighter than regular games. I think if Giannis will play more as facilitator just like LeBron or maybe the Bucks can bring someone who can be a sidekick of Giannis, then that would be a different story.

They'll have to work on that, and I think they've been starting experimenting on that, one proof is when they keep winning huge market even when Giannis is not playing, hopefully this kind of confidence and the trust on his teammates is something they can bring comes playoffs time.
That new level is needed in the next round we've seen adjustment and confidence being builds up even without Giannis. This kind of level will make them more competitive cause even without Giannis there are players who are willing to adjust and step forward.
Also, in case good defense being applied to Giannis they have other options to run plays and keep rotating and adjusting.

It will be a different playoffs now for the Bucks as Giannis can shoot threes now.
The question is, if he will be given a good looks, their opponent knows his capabilities, last playoffs the Raptors put good defense on Giannis but putting two defender on him and sometimes even 3 and that made him struggle, so as the whole team.
It still depends on how tight the double/triple team defense. If this could be very effective then you can definitely freeze Giannis. However this is a very risky move on the part of the opposing team because a wide gap of space will be created which can take advantage by his teammates especially their gunners like Middleton and Korver. But if you will not double team then he will get easily go through the basket. Hmm, for sure coaches from the other teams are now having headache in making strategies hahaha Grin.

Bucks without Giannis won't be legit for longer period of time. Sometimes im wondering if he doesn't mean TOO much for this club. We will figure it out in this year's playoffs.

They'll have to pass the East competition first, last playoffs, they didn't win against the Raptors.

Im also waiting for Milwaukee Bucks if they can finally get the Eastern Conference Champion now and step on the finals that they always work hard every year.

I also noticed that for everytime Giannis and the Bucks got eliminated in the Playoffs, they are literally changing the other season and comes back much stronger.

Yes, the first difference is the attack of Giannis.
They might be looking at old films at how defense was being done to him and so they find ways.
This is the good thing about the coaching staff.
Some of them focus on offense and some do the defense to balance everything.

Bucks can still make a history, GSW had the best record with 73-9 while only have 4 loses so far.

I wont be surprised if Giannis would go into other team as well and having some other superstar teammates.
That could possibly happen as there's a lot of factors that might come alone the way, but I hope he will stay like Kobe and Dirk did to their team.
If Giannis wins a championship he will be a Hero in Milwaukee and that's a better achievement compared to Lebron James.

Its still early on saying for Bucks to take the east.
Exactly, we don't want to say the same scenario last year, so let us not expect too much.

The confidence has been build up since they know Giannis  is in their side that's why almost all of the bucks players improve since they already trust each other's talents that's why we see some huge dominance on this last play even if no Giannis around.
That's exactly what happened to the Cavaliers, when they have Lebron, they were playing really well but when Lebron left, Cavaliers has become a shitty team, hope Giannis will stay with the Bucks for life.

And for sure once Giannis is on the court for sure all of the team will be crazy since the bucks is the powerhouse team for this year and they have huge possibilities to take the champ among the other team.

There's no such thing for life yet anytime a certain player would either stay or would go to other teams.Just like on Lebron on Miami yet everyones hoping
for him to stay but he still left the team.I wont be surprised if Giannis would go into other team as well and having some other superstar teammates.

Will the bucks winning streak be stop tonight?

Giannis has been ruled out against the Wizards, this is the time where Wizards can take advantage.
Who are talking Wizards to win straight up in this game.



source : https://nba.nbcsports.com/2020/01/28/giannis-antetokounmpo-out-for-bucks-wizards-shoulder/

It didn't stop the winning streak as Bledsoe and Middleton carried the team with a combined 85 points, even without Giannis Wizard unable to
match up with the rest of the Bucks they are really an offensive squad as all of them got the chance to shot and score.
They continue winning and staying at the very top of the league.

The Bucks are not only depending their offensive strategy on Giannis. They literally have one all-star but most of the team members are reliable when it comes to teamwork. This is the reason why the Bucks are deadly this season.

Well they have been "deadly" last year, but they last the experienced that's why they were eliminated. But we all know that they have improved a lot this season. Yes they rely on Giannis most of the time, but they still have players that can step up like Bled and Middleton. Of course when Giannis comes back, they will step aside, but for now, they are leading the team and with the chemistry they have this year, they are a scary team with or without Giannis.

Everyone keeps focusing on Giannis when it comes to Bucks but you guys are forgetting they have one of the best coaches in the league right now. Coach Bud has literally taken Atlanta Hawks to a 60+ win season and top seed even tho they eventually lost, he also took over for Bucks just last year and made an insane change from a year ago and now they have taken another step. I am not saying Giannis doesn't play a role in this, you have to be an idiot to say that, Giannis is their star and responsible for almost everything but Coach Bud would take this team without Giannis to at least playoffs as well, he is that good.

That is true. No doubt.

Because of that the team learned so much including Middleton. Suddenly his confidence grew and became of the players that should be defended well or else it will be a score.
Bledsoe on the other is still unknown. He works well but there are times when his inconsistency is showing.
How about Lopez? Sure does changed a lot.

Mike Budenholzer changed a lot with the gameplay of the Bucks.

Any news about the Clippers locker room ruckus?
I have heard Stephen A once and it looks like it might be real. But there are still doubts that it might be the exact story.
There might still be something behind it.

You are only taking about his success in Atlanta as a coach but he was the coach for 5 seasons but in 2017-18 season Atlanta does not have a good record, they are just 24-58, the worst the worst in his career as a head coach, that is why he was taken out.

This is what like with the bucks where they dont solely depend on one player or a superstar.Rotations are there and can shoot up and
execute good positioning to make baskets.In fact, wizards do have that crap defense rating and no surprise that score do even
rose up to 150+. For an offensive type of team then its no surprise.
