The Milwaukee Bucks host the Brooklyn Nets for game 3 of the second round of the Playoffs. This game is scheduled to take place at 7:30 PM EST and will be played in the Fiserv Arena.

The Brooklyn Nets have clearly been the far more superior team in this playoff series. While they were well matched with the Bucks. having some quality defenders, the Nets have simply been unstoppable in the series.

While their offense has pretty been consistent so far, they have been phenomenal in the defensive end as well. With players like Blake Griffin stepping up, the Nets have put the clamps on Bucks talisman Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Their role players like Joe Harris and Mike James have also been exceptional so far and have replaced the offensive output of James Harden. With ‘the Beard’ listed out, the Nets will hope that their role players can continue to perform alongside Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

The Milwaukee Bucks, on the other hand, were expected to make a massive comeback in game 2. With Harden out, the Bucks became instant favorites to tie the series. But Giannis and Co. had a dreadful performance against the Nets.

Giannis looked pretty passive, and other players like Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday did not step up. The Bucks ultimately had an embarrassing 39 point loss with a scoreline of 125-86. If the Bucks don’t win game 3, we might be seeing the Nets sweeping Giannis & Co. Can the Milwaukee Bucks make a comeback?
