BUCKS
I thought this series between the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers would be close as most series between the 4 and 5 seeds are, but it is hard when Giannis doesn't get any help. He scored 36 and had 12 boards. He did only have 1 assist and his teammates were 1 of 12 when he passed to them.
This isn't the 2021 Bucks. Middleton, Holiday, and Tucker are gone. Lopez is 37 years old, Connaughton can't get off the bench, and Portis was suspended for 25 games this year. Oh yeah, and Damien Lillard didn't play. It also doesn't help that Kuzma scored ZERO points in 22 minutes.
The Pacers had six players in double digits. Haliburton had 12 assists to go along with his 10 points. Indiana had 22 transition points off bad Bucks possessions.
Indiana looks like the more complete team after game one. Yes it is only game one and the Bucks still have Giannis, Kuzma shouldn't be held scoreless again, and hopefully they'll get Lillard back soon.
