Lillard and Giannis is not a good combination in my opinion plus they kicked out the coach who Giannis might've respected the most and gave them the championship. It's not the same energy in Milwaukee anymore.
The problem with Lillard is he will keep on shooting threes even though it's not sinking in at his first 3 tries, unlike other players who will attack the pain first if they cannot find their rhythm on outside shots. The Bucks played badly last year and I think it will be the same this year if they cannot find their weak point. They have less defense now and are only relying on Giannis' offensive power moves.
That's why things aren't good for Milwaukee right now. To add to their problems, their team is currently the oldest team right now, and for me, the older you are, the lower the value unless you're an all-star player. I will not be surprised if Giannis will ask for a trade to whatever team that has cap space or at least those teams that have many draft picks if the Bucks decided to rebuild. As for Lillard, his performance really declined ever since he went to Milwaukee. He isn't the same one anymore on offense, but on defense, he's also one of the worst.
Just to add, the Bucks are now 24th on defense and they have a problem in perimeter defense. An awful defense will not lead to a title hence, there's a chance that Giannis might request for a trade. Hmmm
Why did the Bucks didn't resign Thanasis? 
For the first time, there's a new #1 rank in the Eastern Conference. It's been held by Celtics for the longest, cmiiw.
On the West, Thunder is doing good with that placing. Although these are just from the few games from the very start of the season but once momentum is built, they're going to continue for so long.
We are 6 games into the season and Boston is only down 1 game. I don't think Cleveland will hold the #1 spot the whole season, most likely they lose it within a week. We need to see around 25% of the season before we can really have a definitive answer as to who has the momentum and who can carry the momentum all the way to the playoffs.
But the Cavaliers right now is the team that surprises me currently because nobody's talking about them when we talk about the East. It's all Knicks, Celtics, Sixers, Bucks, but not Cavaliers. Now they're saying, "we're here as well, and we're here to compete". Like what you think though, I don't also think that the Cavaliers will hold that top spot as well. My prediction is that they might end up at 3rd as the highest in the regular season, but a good start for them overall.
