Finale

Obviously a big part of how the Bucks will play and perform on Friday will come down to how much and how well Eric Bledsoe plays in what’s likely to be his debut with his new team.

Bledsoe certainly has the requisite ability to provide a game-defining contribution, but that shouldn’t be expected of him at such an early stage, and instead the questions surrounding his involvement will be centered more on how his insertion will impact upon his teammates.

As the Bucks’ last four games have shown, though, the problems in Milwaukee run deeper than anything that Bledsoe alone will be able to comfortably cover up. Against a fundamentally sound San Antonio group, that guarantees they’re in for a challenging night.
