Short answer. Yes absolutely their "problems" will be "fixed".

Champs are the champs until you beat them 4 of 7. Since 2015 they have not lost a series to the western conference. If you think the Kings are gonna do what Kd's thunder, hardens rockets, lenards spurs, etc.. couldnt do then I got ice in Alaska to sell you.
again, nothing says narrative like "champs are the champs until you beat them". wiggins ain't even played 40 games this year and poole's only proven he's great at being inconsistent after getting paid. their interior is a big reason why they can't finish anything on the road either.

but if you want to talk whowantsitmore-isms, sure just say that :skip:

It's gonna be wild once the playoffs start and the 1-3 seeds sweep the first round (sweep as in they will win not that they all go 4-0) of the "wide open" West like they do pretty much every year

Boston will, which is why Milwaukee needs that #1 seed so they can let Philly try and take them out. Boston can get hot from 3 and that's what the Milwaukee's kryptonite is.
This, it’s why I agree they’ll need that 1 seed. I still believe they’re poorly coached and rely too much on the 3 ball themselves.

It hasn't been talked about much, but their offense has been middle of the back all season long and that's even after Middleton has gotten back. Their defense has been carrying them for the most part all season long. That's probably going to come back and haunt during playoff time depending on the matchup.

It's honestly why i think PHI has a good shot vs MIL, since Middleton will often be mid for half a series and with their overall offense being mid, a team like PHI with a top 3 offense and respectable defense should never be completely out of any game, even if Bucks build a double digit lead in the 4th.

Now i probably just jinxed them and mIddleton will score 50 tonight :dead:

But basically i wouldn't be surprised if the winner of the (probable) PHI/BOS semifinals ends up going to the finals. Or if CLE gives MIL a bit more hell than expected before inevitably succumbing.
