Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 3463284, member: 1674"] I don't really see why any of that would be true if Milwaukee simply plays to their normal level. No doubt if they underperform a team like Boston, Miami, or Philly can hang with them, but that's really it. And the only team in the league that played better than Milwaukee on the road this year is the Lakers. Home court is not in any way their biggest advantage as a team. Their biggest advantage is that they have two of the top 15-20 players in the league (include arguably the #1) and have the #1 or at worst #2 defense in the league. Again, it's totally possible that the Bucks just aren't as good after the long layoff as they were all year, but Boston, Philly, and Miami were nowhere near them this season, and upsets do happen. But Milwaukee should certainly be a sizable favorite against any of those teams. [/QUOTE]
