The Milwaukee Bucks have surprised many people with their sweep of the Miami Heat. While many people believed in their victory, few people thought that they would destroy the Heat in this manner. The Miami Heat were never in the series, and the Milwaukee Bucks were simply too much to handle.
Superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo has commented on his team's sweep of the Miami Heat. The Milwaukee Bucks clearly wanted to close the series out as soon as possible, and perhaps avenge their defeat at Jimmy Butler's hands in the NBA bubble. Antetokounmpo seems to infer that the Milwaukee Bucks did not want to mess around with the team that beat them last season.
The addition of Jrue Holiday to the Milwaukee Bucks' roster has given them some extra firepower, and it has shown so far in the playoffs. The Milwaukee Bucks look convincing on the offensive end, especially considering that the Miami Heat was a good defensive team during the regular season. While expectations should be tempered since this is a first-round matchup, the Giannis-led Bucks are certainly very promising.
The Bucks will eventually face off against the winner of the Brooklyn Nets-Boston Celtics series. Many people have the Brooklyn Nets as favorites, and seeing them face off against the Milwaukee Bucks would be amazing.
