Welcome to Opposition Intel!

After a few days off will have allowed the Milwaukee Bucks a chance to catch up on rest, they are finally back in action on Wednesday night as they hit the road for one of their toughest tests of the season so far.

Having compiled a 5-4 record up until this point, the Bucks have looked quietly impressive against middle of the road opposition. If they want to be a playoff team at year’s end, they’ll have to get results against some of the top teams in the conference though, and Wednesday offers the Bucks one of their first real chances to do just that.

Currently sitting in second in the East, the Atlanta Hawks return home for this matchup with a record of 8-2 and a five game win streak. Having played in Miami on Tuesday, fatigue could be a factor for the Hawks, but as a much changed team this summer they have already proven that they are a close-knit group who produce consistent results.

Ahead of the action, we caught up with someone who regular readers at the site will know very well to help us learn a little more about the Hawks. I am, of course, talking about my fellow site expert here at Behind the Buck Pass, Adam McGee.

As well as his work here, Adam also writes about the NBA over at HoopsHabit and The Step Back. Most importantly for this Q&A, he’s an Atlanta Hawks fan.

Let’s take a look at what he had to say.
