Milwaukee Bucks Out in 6 Games

The Milwaukee Bucks have just lost to the Indiana Pacers in Game 6. After Damian Lillard were questionable to play the game, he was able to make a return for the Bucks. But it didn't end up working in their favor because they got shut out Game 6, even with a 28 point night by Lillard. They played the whole playoff series without your superstar & their best player Giannis Antetokounmpo who was out with a calf injury. According to sources, Giannis attempted to make a return in Game 6 but was unable to go during the shoot around. The Milwaukee Bucks have some huge decisions to make during the offseason regarding their roster, after a disappointing end to their season in the first round. Head coach Doc Rivers might be on the hot seat after the way they finished the regular season and their early exit from the playoffs. The Bucks finished with a worse record under Doc Rivers than with Adrian Griffin as their coach. They also need to figure out their defense, which has been absolutely terrible all season long. After losing Jrue Holiday in the trade for Lillard, their defense had plummeted to the bottom tier of the league. But in previous years they've always had a top tier defense which was a reason they were champions in 2021. I think there will be some big changes coming to the Milwaukee Bucks this upcoming offseason, possibly with a new coach or a new improved roster.

Dallas Mavericks Cruise to a Game 5 Victory

After a big comeback of the Mavericks during Game 4 even though they ended up losing the game, they cruised to an easy Game 5 win. It was a big time performance by Luka Doncic who had 35 points and a huge shooting game from Maxi Kleber. Luka was quoted after the Game 4 loss saying that he feels like he is letting Kyrie Irving down, who had a tremendous Game 4 but it resulted in a loss. Paul George and James Harden who have been great in this series, had a devastating game 5 combined 6 for 25 as a duo. They will need to make a huge change for Game 5, or their season might come to an end on Friday. They have been playing in this series without their superstar Kawhi Leonard and will most likely be without him from this series.
