I just don't think Brooklyn will have an answer for Giannis, which is why I picked the Bucks to win.  During the regular season Giannis went for 36 and 49 in the Bucks wins and 34 in the 2 point loss.  And the 2 wins were in May (so not long ago).  The Nets could certainly outscore the Bucks, but doing that 4 times when you have absolutely no answer for the best player in the world, I just don't think they will do.
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

Bridges and Ayton should have switched on that Schroder drive.

The Nets didn’t have all 3 of their stars for any of those games.
I’m not sure Milwaukee will have an answer for Harden. I hope you are right, though. I think the Bucks are the only team in the NBA that has a shot against Brooklyn.
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

I guess whoever wins Game 3 in the Suns/Lakers series will win the series

Haven't you already declared the Lakers the NBA champions?

Pretty low-scoring game between these two

The Denver Portland game is the opposite. They've combined for 78 points and it's not even halfway through the 2nd Q

Yup. It's getting heated Portland/Denver. Surprised Denver can hang on without Murray

Yup, that's it for Phoenix. Lakers are playing like a #1 seed when they're really healthy. Hopefully Portland beats Denver so they can score all over them and throw some bodies at AD

Malone is a very good coach

Right now it’s between the Nets, Bucks, Jazz & unfortunately the Lakers for the title in my eyes.. I’m not sold on the 76ers..Portland are too up & down & Denver without Murray hurts them
C/PF-Horford, Baynes, Noel, Theis, Morris,
SF/SG- Tatum, Brown, Hayward, Smart, Semi, Clark
PG- Irving, Rozier, Larkin
