As up and down as the Bucks (and at time, Knicks) have been this season, if the postseason started today — this would undoubtedly be the first round matchup.
The No. 3 Seed vs The No. 6 Seed.
Health would of course be a key factor, but the player/coaching matchups would be rather intriguing to watch.
Brunson vs Dame
KAT vs Giannis
*Thibs vs Doc
*Coach Thibs was on Doc’s staff with the 2008 Celtics Championship Team (and is accredited as the anchor of their defensive strategies).
Who would be the x-factor in this series?

Brunson would average 50 against that backcourt 😤
Bucks have the best player in the series, we have the 2nd and 3rd best, bucks have the 4th then id say the rest of our starting 5 is 5-7.
It’d be a tough matchup but I think we’d come out on top in 6. We’d need Mitch back for this series though definitely
I’d be hard pressed to call Doc Rivers an “X factor” in any playoff series
We match up great with the Bucks. OG on Giannis, Kat vs Lopez, Josh on Dame and Bridges vs Middleton. Easy knicks win in 5 or 6
We win that series in 5, maybe 6. Bucks have absolutely no one to put on Brunson.
Bucks are gonna make the playoffs?!?
Tied in Game 7, 1 second to go, Knicks foul Dame on a half court 3 attempt
it’d be important for them to get a 3-1 lead
Interesting like we would go hunting for 🦌
Why are we talking about potential playoff matchups less than a quarter way into the season again??
Hold your horses there…we’re not even in December yet
Still way too early in the season.
Anyway, I don’t think 1 of those 2 will be on the Bucks by the trade deadline anyway….
They absolutely had our number last year and seem to be coming online as of late.
I think our team is way deeper when healthy though.
