I don’t know what was funnier.
The part where you wrote, if we can “rest up a bit” or having “the most prepared coach in the business.”
I just voted Bucks. I worry about the Pistons youth and athleticism.
Would love the Pacers, but thinking that for the path to the Finals, if we were to drop into the 4th position - Pacers get the Pistons unless they pass the Bucks, which is possible, and then the line up with the Celtics and we get the Cavs- certainly no pushover - but lately they’ve hit a rough patch and maybe they are like the Rangers last year- great record in the regular season, then brittle in the playoffs.
Now - with the Bucks - I don’t worry about Giannis - but Dame could go insane and carry them through us. I suspect OG would be able to stop him, though.

That series against the Bucks was stolen from us. Melo got fouled all day and the Pacers center ( what's his face) was apparently " straight up"
3/6 versus Milwaukee is starting to solidify and it’s hard to not be cautiously optimistic about that matchup. We seem to have their number in a big way. Brunson always goes off against them and OG is probably the best defender in the NBA to match up against Giannis. Lillard might not be ready either. Bucks supporting cast is pretty trash. I like our chances.
