Preview of the Milwaukee Bucks

“Who is beating the Brooklyn Nets four times in a seven game series? Nobody left.”

The hosts quote James Harden's comment from a few weeks ago to emphasize why they believe Brooklyn is unstoppable.

“If Milwaukee wins, I'll root for them the rest of the way because I think they're gonna win a championship if they beat us. I agree. And two best teams in the league.”

Brandon argues that whoever wins this series is winning the title, showing how high the stakes are.

“Brook Lopez is not going to be playable this series. He cannot stay on the court. He can't guard Blake Griffin or Kevin Durant. Who is he gonna guard?”

Brandon breaks down why the Bucks' starting center is a massive liability against Brooklyn's versatile offense.

“I think that that Mickey Mouse puzzle, the bubble, was really fugazi. I was saying it during the bubble. Obviously you shoot better in the YMCA gym than an arena with fans travel.”

The hosts discuss why the 2020 bubble playoffs weren't legitimate, calling it LeBron's final title.

“Eastern Conference has the three best teams in the NBA when healthy. Brooklyn, Milwaukee and Philly are the three best teams in basketball. I don't think it's even close.”

After years of Western Conference dominance, the hosts declare the East has finally taken over.

“The reason why Dante DiVincenzo's a huge loss for them is because he's one of their best perimeter defenders. He's their best rebounding guard. He covers up Brook Lopez's rebounding deficiencies.”

Brandon explains why losing DiVincenzo is a bigger deal than most people realize for Milwaukee's defense.

“I feel like half of Nets Twitter is freaking out. They are. I just don't get it. After Brook Lopez, they don't have any size. None.”

The hosts address Nets fans panicking about the Milwaukee matchup despite Brooklyn's clear advantages.

“Everyone's saying this is made up to be a classic. Honestly, I don't see it. I think people are gonna be really disappointed when this series is over.”

Brandon boldly predicts the Nets will win more easily than the media expects, likely in 5 games.

“Christian Winfield asking Kyrie personal questions, trying to get in everyone's business, and then at the end of Game 5, asking everyone, oh, do you even take anything from this? Like trying to not give the Nets credit because Boston had injuries.”

The hosts criticize beat writer Christian Winfield for trying to diminish the Nets' first round victory.

“We have three insane ISO players, and that's what playoff basketball is about. Fourth quarters, have at it. You still have to guard those guys. That means it's one on one and one on one. I take Kyrie, KD and James Harden over anybody. Doesn't matter.”

The hosts explain why Brooklyn's three elite closers give them an overwhelming advantage in tight playoff games.
