Milwaukee Bucks: 5 takeaways from resilient Game 7 triumph

5. The time is now for the Milwaukee Bucks to win the NBA Championship.

Based on the demolishing sweep of the Heat and the resilient series win over the Nets, the window is wide open for the Milwaukee Bucks to win the NBA Championship this season. This is a much improved, determined, more precise basketball team that has the complete toolset to go all the way.

Needless to say, this is a whole different feel from previous years with a completely different mindset embedded in Milwaukee. There’s just a subtle kind of finesse about these Bucks that symbolizes toughness, greatness, and perseverance. This might just be the most talented roster that the Milwaukee Bucks have ever assembled in the history of the franchise.

The core of this group has greatly improved, the role players are maximizing their respective roles, and even head coach Mike Budenholzer has improved upon his decision-making and adjustments. They’re currently rolling with momentum and may have already overcome their most difficult task by eliminating a Brooklyn Nets squad that was projected to win the title this year.

Now, the Bucks are the favorites to win it all according to sports books, and they have no excuses to not pounce on this golden opportunity. Other than the season-ending ankle injury to Donte DiVincenzo, Milwaukee is healthy heading into the Eastern Conference Finals where they’ll meet the fifth-seeded Atlanta Hawks.

If they defeat Atlanta, who shocked the globe by knocking off the top-seeded 76ers, the Bucks would face the winner of the Western Conference Finals bout between the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Clippers in the NBA Finals. If there was ever a time for a small market team like Milwaukee to win a championship, it’s right now. It’s time for the Milwaukee Bucks to make history.
