Milwaukee Bucks: 3 things to watch for against Miami Heat in Orlando – Trying to work it all out

At 1-2 in Orlando, the Bucks haven’t been as bad as some of the more visceral moments in their last two losses have potentially suggested.

Still, it’s undeniable that the Bucks haven’t quite looked like their truly formidable selves, even if they may just be a couple of minor improvements away from resuming something much more like normal service.

With that, though, and with just four seeding games remaining beyond Thursday’s clash with Miami, these games need to be used for the Bucks as an opportunity to work things out and get themselves right again for the playoffs.

Conditioning remains a key part of that, particularly as Eric Bledsoe and Pat Connaughton continue to work their way back, but also as Milwaukee more generally looks to regain some rhythm and cohesion in terms of their rotation.

Beyond anything else, the Bucks just need to tighten up some of the looser and sloppier elements of their game so far, and there’s no question that the top priority for Coach Bud on that front will be to see much improved execution across the board.
