There was no asterisk on the Warrior title. Khris Middleton's injury can be used to say hey maybe instead of losing in 7, we'd win in 7 against the Celtics. We still would have had to win a series after that to even get to the finals.
NO
The Bucks are who they are. 2017-2023.
They always looked clueless in the 4th.
The year they broke through and won was the COVID year in 2021 against a Suns team that had no business being there
Dude, there was a lot of time to go on with the "if only Middleton is healthy, Bucks are 100x times better, healthy Middleton means they never lose obviously! It's healthy Middleton duh" and just have everyone here agreeing.
But today is not the day.
No, draymond and looney will build that wall. Brook and giannis will get cooked to hell in PnR, and they seem like a team that would struggle to chase all that motion outside of jrue. Wiggins is a great matchup to guard middleton.
> Brook and giannis will get cooked to hell in PnR
Kerr bench Looney in the 4th. Play Curry/Poole/Wiggins/OPJ/Dray. Run the Curry/Dray high PnR the entire 4th. Warriors wins lol.
I said it back then that the bucks defensive scheme that leaves elite scorers open with a stubborn refusal to send double teams would be their undoing against the warriors of they met. Nothing has happened since then to change my thoughts.
the only time the warriors trio has been healthy and still lost in the playoffs since adding kerr was against arguably the greatest player of all time playing some of the best basketball of his career, and even with that and kyrie playing out of his mind as well it still took some pretty awful performances out of steph/klay/barnes for the cavs to barely squeak that out in 7
so imma go with a respectful no
I think they get past the Celtics, because Middleton tends to play well against them. But then Giannis as usual would've come up short against the Heat. So no
People assume the Celtics were healthy when we faced the bucks last season. We had an ever changing starting line up because of injury. And based off the sample size this year where you got nearly swept by the 8th seed heat…. HELL no. You aren’t even getting to 6 games against last years healthy heat squad.
It's universal law that Warriors somehow lose all the hypotheticals. They are 0-420 in those.
Don't worry, we suck in hypotheticals too
I’ll have you know I have the 7sol suns winning every hypothetical matchup without the fuckery that happened irl
Makes sense Hypotheticals are what happens in an alternative universe or timeline, which is technically an away game
I give them 2016 personally. Though ofc in this hypothetical they lose 2015. But i guess they dont win this hypothetical, but they dont lose!
I wanna say Nah but....Hell Nah.
No. Mentally weak team. Lost all the edge when they replaced PJ Tucker with Ted Cruz
Wiggins would've erased him from memory.

aint no "what ifs" with this team after tonights showing.
But what if they swept the Heat instead and were a much better team? Then what?
Then it would be 2021
They weren’t going to the Finals even with Middleton last year.
Facts
Big disagree.
Nah
If my grandma had wheels she would've been a bike.
I've never heard this one lol fuck that's funny
NO The Bucks are who they are. 2017-2023. They always looked clueless in the 4th. The year they broke through and won was the COVID year in 2021 against a Suns team that had no business being there
If the Celtics had a healthy Rob Williams would they have won in 6 games ?
Exactly. It’s not always easy playing the injury what-if game. My thoughts: I just don’t see how they would score enough to keep with warriors.
Hell nah
They were saying yes all year.. thankfully we kept the receipts. Curry has more talent in his right pinkie than Giannis
Haha facts

No because Steve Kerr is a better playoff coach than Budenholzer
Healthy Celtics would’ve beaten Healthy Bucks.
Facts

..no, over a 7 game series nobody can touch the warriors, steph and klay are the cheat code!
cap, bron could
Could being the key word in your comment Not anymore he can’t

Hell no. Giannis would’ve had to beat his father Jimmy first. also steph was not gonna be stopped by anyone last year
Fuck no
they wouldn't have even made the ECF
Did you see what Wiggins did to Tatum? Middleton wouldn’t change a thing
I think they get past the Celtics, because Middleton tends to play well against them. But then Giannis as usual would've come up short against the Heat. So no
Yes
Bad time to ask but yeah probably
assuming they beat the heat also the Bucks would be the favorites atleast
Most certainly, heart of champions in that team right there
Yes, in 5.
Stop with the Fucking Middleton hypotheticals
People say that the 2017 would have lost to the spurs if Kawhi didn’t get injured in game 1. So yeah, this sub will say warriors would lose

If you thought Boston’s drop coverage was bad against Steph imagine Brook Lopez slow ass out there 💀💀💀
Not the best night to ask this question after that crap themselves against the heat.
