Not the same Bucks team breh....Last year these Bucks were beat by a Boston team that LeBron then defeated damn near single-handedly, but he moved West cause he was afraid of them.

GS (with or without Durant) til further notice.
But it’s likely gonna be tougher than many thought ...
Warriors because they are battle tested and get everyone’s best shot. The Bucks haven’t exactly went through murderers’ row. A lot of these East teams proved to be fool’s gold. Honestly, Warriors have the best chance without KD because everyone moves well without the ball in his absence so fatigue will wear on the bigger team. Even if the Bucks go zone and use their length, they’re at mercy of giving up preferential matchups. Warriors defend the 3 well so I doubt the Bucks will shoot it as well. Warriors don’t mind driving and taking mid-range shots so going to the hole can help get some of those starters in early foul trouble.

Warriors officially on Upset Alert. They will be favored even without home court, they have the experience and the talent....and they will lose. End of a dynasty...
This Bucks team has all the ingredients to pull off another colossal upset, I just have to see them perform in clutch situations, pressure moments late in the game...

If KD isn't healthy the warriors shouldn't be favored.
10-1 in the playoffs and too much length. Like, I get that the Warriors are the Warriors... But how are they going up against a team with 4 solid playmakers and shooters who stand above 6-10?
And how in the fukk do they defend Giannis?
Draymond Green?
Raptors at least have Siakam and Gasol to contain him, Warriors have nobody
We've looked like the best team since September, andplayoff experience doesn't change that

Every round nikkaz been promising “_____ is gonna take down tha Warriors.”
Doubt a team that’s been in da Finals 4 yrs str8 over a young inexperienced eastern conference team with ONE All Star who JUST started making da playoffs brehs
For reference, that suggestion isn't entirely unprecedented. The Detroit Pistons played in six consecutive Eastern Finals from 2003-08 and were upset in 2007 (their 5th straight) by the Cleveland Cavaliers who had one All-Star/All-NBA player...
I really wish we acknowledged those Pistons more. Obviously they aren't on the level of GS and that team underachieved, but the point is, if you recall, they were heavy favorites and lost to "a young inexperienced eastern conference team with ONE All Star who JUST started making da playoffs" (that's a direct quote from you)...
And while those Pistons underachieved with just one chip in that stretch, this Warriors team isn't exactly bulletproof, see 2016 for maybe the biggest single season underachievement in NBA history. Most people think The Dubs should be 4-for-4 in titles right now instead of 3-1...
So the suggestion isn't unprecedented...
The 00s Pistons were a mini-dynasty. Six consecutive ECF. They only went 2-4 and split their Finals appearances, but anybody that can reel off six straight trips to the conference Finals is a powerhouse, the only thing that kept them from being legendary was more Finals trips...
Anyway back to the point, I can see the Bucks pulling an '07 Cavs on Golden State. I can't assure it, but i think it's possible. Giannis' true coronation, it can happen...

You can say the same about the other 7 teams in the west. Blazers are clearly showing they don’t belong anywhere near conference finals. They beat the trash OKC and a team that wasn’t even in the playoffs last year. Rockets beat trash Jazz and couldn’t even beat a KD less warriors.
Before the season started, most had celtics going to the finals and bucks destroyed them. The Sixers had 4 all stars and raptors beat them. People were even picking raptors to make it because of kawhi and so far bucks are man handling them.

100, let's continue to dead the notion that the Rockets were some juggernaut lol. The Warriors haven't had a Murderer's Row, they just aren't quite as dominant as years past so they got pushed to 6 in the first two rounds...
Honestly the toughest playoff run they had was in '16. Perennial contender Thunder, perennial Finalist LeBron. Every other year has been closer to cakewalk than competition...
What hittas ?
Granted the bucks and warriors make it, i think the bucks have a chance to beat the Warriors with or without KD.
People are underestimating Coach Bud something serious.
Bucks beat the shyt outta gsw on their home floor but got ran out of the gym at home
Its gonna be a great series, if both teams make it
