Milwaukee Bucks: Roundtable ahead of Toronto Raptors Conference Finals series

As the Milwaukee Bucks and Toronto Raptors get set for their Conference Finals battle, the Behind the Buck Pass staff convened for a roundtable on the series.

Already the owners of an incredible season that has dramatically changed the wider perception of the franchise, the Milwaukee Bucks will face their greatest challenge of the year to date when they tip off the Eastern Conference Finals against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday.

The Raptors have been one of the NBA’s most formidable teams throughout the entirety of the season, much like the Bucks, and potentially energized by a phenomenal finale to their Conference Semifinals series against the 76ers, they’ll be determined to break through to the Finals for the first time in their history.

Of course, Milwaukee has no shortage of reasons to be confident either. Boasting the likely MVP and Coach of the Year, this roster, constructed by the likely Executive of the Year, will look to build upon a 60-win season and two confident series victories so far, and will get the chance to do so while playing the majority of the series’ games within the friendly confines of Fiserv Forum.

Still, in spite of the obvious talent and confidence of the two teams, there are plenty of pressing questions and potential unknowables.

With that in mind, I posed a variety of significant questions about the series and the matchup, and our trusty team of contributors, along with my co-site expert, Jordan Treske, offered up their opinions on how it all could shake out.

So without further ado, let’s get down to it.
