Our favorite has made the championship game in 19 of past 23 tries and of the 19 times they made the finals they have the won title 15 times
3 of the 4 times they failed to make the finals they were weak no. 1 ranked teams relative to history of past champs.
the other remaining time we picked against our no. 1 ranked team and lost as our no. 1 ranked team did make the finals but since we picked against them we count that as a lose. that no. 1 ranked team was not a weak no. 1 team. we did not pick against them because they were weak.
The Bucks will be one of the stronger teams since 1980, they are the best team in out-shooting opps in 2 point shots since 1980 of all the teams I looked up so far which is all the stronger better teams.
Bucks are much stronger team then most realize and the Freak but in one of the great season in HISTORY.
Raptors do have common denominators of past champs but are not close to same level as Bucks. KL did play only 60 games so maybe they could be a little better but not likely they are so much better they would of passed the Bucks.
Gasol trade maybe makes them a bit better but after the break they did get a little better in shooting efficiency but they dropped off in rebounding which is common, which goes to show they can not do both well at the same time
most champs are over 54 in PRII, only the Bucks there, then those not over 54 will be over 53.5 which also includes the Warriors , Raptors are way low at only 52.84 , they were 52.6 at about 55 game mark, hardly much improvement.
Just look at the other teams people believe can make finals and/or win the title, not much chance .slim to none.
Like the Celtics, last year they played way over their heads which does happen , then many got excited they can do it again but not likely, Bucks will handle this teram easily in 2cd round.
Celtics played worse after the 55 game mark, much worse their shooting efficiency went down as did their rebounding both by good amounts, don't see the love for this team, just can't see it.
Mostly based on last years play which is more fluke like.
