Brace yourself for a sports analysis rivaled only by...well, anybody with eyes. The Indiana Pacers currently leading the playoff streak against these Milwaukee Bucks, and they're not letting up. The Pacers won both of their recent skirmishes leaving a rather noticeable black eye on Giannis's deer herd.
The Pacers have been tangoing with the Bucks, putting on an impressive display of strength and agility anchored by Pascal Siakam, who has been lighting up the court with an impressive average of 24.5 points during these playoffs. He's backed up by Tyrese Haliburton, effectively threading through the defense with 12.0 assists per game in the playoffs. Pacers carry this momentum with them as they approach the third game.
Continuing on the momentum train, don't forget the Pacers slid up to the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference while the Bucks find themselves barely keeping their antlers above the water in the fifth position.
But let's not count our chickens before they hatch, or in this case, our deer before they... well, you get it. Milwaukee's got the Greek Freak himself, Giannis Antetokounmpo. This fellow is outdoing himself in the playoffs - with an imposing average of 35.0 points and 15.0 rebounds, he's nothing short of a one-man army. Added to the mix is Bobby Portis showing his game with 16.0 points on average in the playoffs, and Damian Lillard hustling with 7.0 assists per game. But even with all that, these Bucks will need more than pure stats to tip the scales.
Bearing that all in mind, for those of you looking to put your money where... well, my voice is, and for the rest who are stuck with my commentary, here comes my prediction.
