Pound The Rock

It's been an up-and-down season for the Bucks, but the defending champs still feel like the safest best to come out of the East. We discuss their season so far, the impact of Brook Lopez's absence, Giannis Antetokoumpo's continued growth, and whether the team's offense has improved enough to offset some defensive regression. Then, we take a look at their steepest competition in the Eastern Conference, and wonder about the title prospects of the Nets, Heat, Bulls, Sixers, and Cavs.
