Game 4 – Milwaukee @ Brooklyn:
The Nets are another team going through changes this offseason. The transition from Deron Williams to Jarrett Jack at point guard is definitely going to cause a lot of issues for them. Williams, though a much lesser player the past few years, was a matchup problem for the opposing team to defend. Jack on the other hand, is not nearly as capable and really should be a point guard that leads your bench unit.
Add to that mix the ever aging Joe Johnson and the injury-prone Brook Lopez and you have a team that looks pretty weak, even in the East.
Luckily for Brooklyn, the season will still be young at this point so Lopez should be healthy still. He is good enough to cancel out Monroe, especially with Milwaukee on the road. MCW should be able to exploit Jack in the post and make life miserable for the Nets.
Giannis and Khris can defend whoever is hot for the Nets while still scoring themselves. With this game being in Brooklyn, Coach Jason Kidd is going to hear the boo birds. The Bucks will rally around their coach and get the W for him. I see the Nets hanging around for three quarters and the Bucks taking control in the fourth with their excellent defense.
