Reacting to Milwaukee Bucks hot takes

“3 All Stars. Dame, Khris, Giannis” – @GiannisLamar_

Barring something unforeseen, they should have at least two with Lillard and Antetokounmpo. Middleton making it into the game after the down year he just had would certainly be quite the accomplishment. As the clear-cut third option, it is possible that he puts up big numbers due to the attention being directed elsewhere. If the Bucks have a great record, I’d buy in.

“They will have the number one defense and the number one offense in the regular season in spite of losing an all time great defender” – @Pale_Pete

Even without Jrue Holiday, the Bucks should be a good defensive team. If players like Crowder and Beauchamp step up, they could be great. A top-five defense should be in the cards, but I’m not too sure about the best. The same goes for the offense, and it should be tremendous with Lillard, but it will depend on how well everyone gels. This would certainly be a welcoming scenario, though.

“74-8” – @BeeVirgo_Shady

The Milwaukee Bucks going 74-8 and finishing with the best regular season record in NBA history would be a feat, to say the least. Yet, I just can’t see it. While they will be a good team, they will be cautious with all of their key pieces in all likelihood, giving guys nights off when needed, especially with the Big 3 all dealing with big injuries this past season.
