No team was more of a disappointment during the NBA playoffs last season than the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks, as Giannis Antetokounmpo and company lost to the eighth-seeded Miami Heat in five games in the first round of the postseason.
It was a devastating blow for the franchise and its superstar, as Milwaukee set its sights on winning another NBA title in the Antetokounmpo era, with many believing they were the team to beat in the Eastern Conference.
Despite falling short in the playoffs to a determined Heat squad, Antetokounmpo has vowed to come back stronger and more focused than ever next season, as he wants that feeling of lifting the Larry O’Brien Trophy once again.
With the NBA offseason well underway and the Bucks making some solid moves this summer to keep their team intact, Antetokounmpo reflected on when he and his squad won it all two years ago by taking to Twitter with this picture of a champagne celebration in the locker room.

Next season will be enjoyable in the Eastern Conference, as the Heat might get better with the potential addition of superstar guard Damian Lillard while the Boston Celtics have reloaded by trading for Kristaps Porzingis.
Along with those two teams making moves or potentially making a move in Miami, the Philadelphia 76ers might be next with James Harden asking to be traded, which could result in another star playing alongside reigning NBA MVP Joel Embiid next season.
That said, the Bucks will have their work cut out for them again next season, as it will be no easy task to get to the NBA Finals and then face the best of the best the Western Conference has to offer.
