That comes in the form of the Miami Heat, a team that has waited a week to get back on the court after they cleanly swept the Indiana Pacers to open up their own playoff run.
On top of that, they’ve built their team in a way that, in theory, is designed to exploit the very weaknesses that the Bucks have shown at their worst moments over the course of their fantastic run this season.
That fact alone sets the stage for what should be a fascinating matchup and gives the Bucks a tough opponent in their quest to reach not just reach the Finals, but win an NBA title.
So without further ado, let’s break down the three biggest matchups that will certainly affect the outcome of the Bucks’ Conference Semifinals series with the Miami Heat.
