The Milwaukee Bucks are currently the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, but based on current attitudes toward this team, you wouldn’t know it.
Many fans and analysts are frustrated with Doc Rivers’ coaching style, as they believe he is slowing the team down.
The Bucks have one of the best rosters in the NBA, and while their record might be well above .500, their cohesion as a unit is concerning.
This might not bode well for them heading into the playoffs, especially if they face off against an unfavorable opponent.
Craig Carton recently highlighted one team the Bucks do not want to play in the playoffs, saying, “They’re afraid of Philly!”

The 76ers are only getting healthier with Joel Embiid being back on the court, but the Bucks are going in the opposite direction.
Giannis Antetokounmpo recently got injured, and his return timeline remains to be seen.
Beating a team like the 76ers at full health is no small feat, and it is a daunting task for a team without it’s star player.
It will be interesting to see what happens with Antetokounmpo and the Bucks and how far they can advance in this year’s playoffs.
There are many good teams in the Eastern Conference, making a path to the NBA Finals tough enough as it is.
The Bucks face an uphill battle as long as Antetokounmpo is out, and if teams like the 76ers keep getting healthy, things are only getting more difficult for them.
This year’s NBA playoffs could provide a lot of unique storylines, leaving fans excited to see how it will all play out.
