Bucks smartly rested everyone again. Theyre gonna roll into the playoffs fresh as fuck. Look out league. Coach thibs looks over his shoulder like a dog wondering why people pick up their shit.

Smartly? Hell no, that was dumb as shit. Killed the seeding they busted their ass for.

I dont know why youd rest all ur starters in a game u have to win.

Bucks lost at CLE, allowing the Celtics to win and get the 2 seed. You go thru so much to beat Boston Thursday to get the upper hand, and then u just give it back to them? Very dumb decision. It's not like they havent rested their starters in recent weeks. Theyve rested them A LOT. At least once a week the last 6 weeks.

Now u gotta goto Boston in the 2 vs 3 second round. That will cost the Bucks the series.

Not only that, u gotta face the Bulls and beat em 4 times again. Very hard to beat a team 8 times in a season.

i think its about matchups and the bucks have giannis and 5 other great players

Not sure what any team in the East can do if the Bucks have guys like Grayson Allen hitting the open shots they get because the defense is busy trying to stop Giannis.

Tank for Wembanyama?

The strategy Toronto, Miami and even Orlando used a few years ago to stop Giannis doesn't work when the Bucks outside shooters hit their shots. Maybe the strategy Golden State is using against Jokic of having their best defender take Jokic one on one and not let the other guys get those open looks. But first you need to have a defender who maybe isn't going to stop Giannis but can slow him down enough and cause him enough grief on their own to avoid Giannis going for 50 every game guarding him one on one.
