Adam: What do you see as the key matchup for Monday’s game? Which Buck do you envisage causing Atlanta the most problems?
Ti: The matchup will probably come down to the frontcourt. Paul Millsap will have to be contained by Ersan Ilyasova or whoever else the Bucks slide into the power forward role, he’s a dynamic inside scorer and the Bucks aren’t the most physical team in the paint.
One Buck I could see hurting Atlanta is Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak is a tough matchup for any team, but I could see him having a good game against DeMarre Carroll, or whichever Hawks end up covering him due to his height and quickness.
