I have a strong feeling Miami can come out strong in this series; considering how Miami performs against the Bucks when Jimmy Butler is benched compared to when Butler is on the court makes a huge difference for both teams. The tension between star-forwards Jimmy Butler and Giannis Antetokounmpo is surely one that will keep fans on the edge of their seats.

While scoring is a huge part of winning the game, defense is equally as important; with that being said, Miami Heat star-center, Bam Adebayo, is going to be one of the most fierce competitors on the court come playoff time, next to Butler and Tyler Herro. Averaging 9 rebounds (REB), 1 block (BLK), and 1.2 steals (STL) per game, and is a potential Defensive Player of the Year candidate.

Adebayo is surely not a player to underestimate, especially in a series like this.

A possible playoff series outcome for this matchup is the Heat being victorious in five or six games. Considering that they defeated the Bucks last season in resounding fashion, they can certainly do it again a second time and really give Milwaukee a run for their money.

Will lightning be able to strike again for this trophy-hungry Miami team? Or will Milwaukee get their long-waited revenge on the former NBA Finalists? Will this be a sweep for either team, or will this be a stressful yet eventful seven-game series?

While the rambunctious Miami Heat have the potential to win it all, anything is possible in the end. And with that being said, in the end, may the best team win….The Reigning and Defending Eastern Conference Champion Miami Heat.
