Major Key For Milwaukee: Guard The Guards, Cont.

This is the same major key the Bucks had last time around. Milwaukee was not able to effectively guard John Wall and Bradley Beal, and the two combined for 44 points and 17 assists. The Bucks need to be better this time.

If Wall and Beal are good, then Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan are great. They make up the best backcourt in the Eastern Conference, and the two mesh perfectly both on and off the court to make the Raptors dangerous every single night they’re both out there.

More importantly, Lowry and DeRozan form the best damn bromance the NBA has to offer:

It’s hard not to be jealous of Raptors fans. Giannis and Jabari are fantastic, but they have zero bromance Vines (that I am aware of. Please, by all means, send me any that I’ve missed on Twitter.)

Anyway, back to basketball. Lowry and DeRozan could easily combine for 60 points if Matthew Dellavedova and Tony Snell play the same poor defense they’ve shown lately. Delly and Snelly need to at least slow down Toronto’s backcourt, or the Bucks could have trouble keeping up with the NBA’s second-best offense.
