In the latest edition of our Milwaukee Bucks’ Win In 6 Podcast, we dice with danger by considering potential playoff matchups.

It’s Monday, and that means the latest episode of our Win In 6 Podcast is here for your listening pleasure/displeasure. With the Milwaukee Bucks on a roll and the regular season winding down, we dived into one of the most pressing discussions surrounding the team.

Not to tempt fate — and accepting no responsibility for the now inevitable slump — but with FiveThirtyEight projecting the Bucks as an 87 percent chance of making the Playoffs and only nine games remaining, it’s time to start considering what a postseason series could look like for Milwaukee.

With that in mind, we ran through the ways in which the Bucks would matchup with each of the Cavaliers, Celtics, Raptors and Wizards, and highlighted the factors that would lead us to have individual preferences within that group.

Taking the hypothetical playoff discussion beyond that point, we also discuss the various changes we could see to Milwaukee’s rotation in a playoff setting, and the challenges of making those adjustments.

As we always do, we finished up with our mailbag which included questions about draft and free agency fits, Jason Kidd‘s future, and the end to the regular season for Milwaukee.

As usual, joining me for this week’s episode was contributor and master of the Dirk Nowitzki one-legged fadeaway, Jordan Treske.
