Finale

Even though the Warriors are the Warriors, the Bucks didn’t seem to have much life in them after the first half of the first quarter on Saturday. Milwaukee can and should do better than that against a much more beatable team in Portland.

The Blazers are still a good team though, and one the Bucks should not take lightly. Hell, after nearly losing to the Los Angeles Lakers the Bucks shouldn’t take any team lightly, but I digress.

A win on Tuesday would keep the Bucks in the seventh seed no matter what, as Milwaukee currently has a half-game lead on both the Detroit Pistons and Miami Heat. Ending this road trip with a pair of wins would be massive for the Bucks playoff seeding.
