Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: January 17 vs Miami Heat
By Adam McGee
Finale
In spite of a good win against the Washington Wizards on Martin Luther King Day, this isn’t necessarily a game that’s going to inspire real confidence in Bucks fans.
The Heat play with a style that the Bucks could only dream of emulating with their superior talent, and the coaching advantage that Erik Spoelstra enjoys on most nights certainly won’t be any lesser in this instance.
Miami has won eight of their last 10 games and if the Bucks could pick up a win in this one it would certainly act as a real feather in their cap, and perhaps the kind of confidence boost the team currently needs.
