The Line

If the Milwaukee Bucks has their full squad, this series would be a lot closer than it will end up. The Bucks rely too heavily on too few. Toronto is the deepest team in the league. They have two or three good players at every position and Playoff experience.

Considering Toronto is my pony to win the the entire league this year I cannot see them stumbling to a young Bucks outfit in the first round. Toronto will win in five games or less.
