    The Bucks LOVE to swarm ball-handlers in an effort to force turnovers, very similar to how the Hawks defended under Budenholzer. Like the hawks, the Bucks give up the most 3 point attempts in the NBA. The defense works wonders against teams without both an excellent distributor and a plethora of shooters, the downside is Bud is yet to win a playoff game against LeBron James. James Harden is the closest thing on offense to LeBron, he can pass out of a double team to open shooters with ease. If everyone not named James Harden can hit their 3s, we should be in shape to overpower their defense.

    Their offense, terrifies me. An MVP-Caliber Giannis surrounded by hordes of shooters, you would think that eventually, thanks to Gainnis' inability to shoot, that some lineups have spacing issues, but there are so many shooters on the roster that spacing never becomes an issue. On top of that, the Bucks are 29th in the NBA in mid-range shots, everything is either Giannis, with the length of KD and the strength of DK, barreling to the rim or an attempt from 3, and with their rebounding, they force teams to out efficiency them, a tall order to say the least.

    Rockets lose a barnburner, 130-134.

    Who might DK be?

    I think the score will be around 108-129. The league and its Freedom Movement has cooled down a bit.

    Bucks looks like previous Hawks. 5 people can shoot over 10 points per game and good defence

    I agree! This dude is a legitimate 6'11, 240 lb guard with handles. He is taller and stronger than KD without the jump shot.
