IMO it's not so much as a #2 you need as much as you need guys who can generate stuff in the half court. Old heads love to regurgitate platitudes like "the game slows down in the playoffs" but Offensive efficiency takes a nosedive and so does pace.
Milwaukee has those things, Middleton and Bledsoe are great secondary and tertiary options when your offense inevitably goes to **** in the playoffs. They should come out the east.
But Kyrie and Boston *Shrugs*

The Bucks defense is kinda gimmicky to me.
Can see it costing them.
That one good Gordon hayward game can swing the series.

Boston has the talent no doubt, but Kyrie has one foot out the door and the rest of the team can't play well together when everybody is available. If they didn't have home court vs Indy, I'd be confident they're going home in round 1.

System aside the Bucks have plenty of great defenders man to man. Bledsoe, Middleton Giannis, Brogdon are all great at holding their man individually. And Lopez is a top 5 rim protector in the league.
They just have great talent on defense so I’m not so sure it’s gimmicky.

So all these extra possessions would make no difference on scoring averages?

Don't trust them to do what? Beat the Warriors? Of course not
but they have a puncher's chance I thinkThey've got the 2nd best defense AND offense in the league over the last 24 games, they're clicking on that end rolling into the playoffs. Got the best one on one player in the game, capela, CP3's game is kind of tailor made for the playoffs with how slow games become, I like them.

Pace was faster in '87 than it is now.

50 points a game man. Chill out bro lol
Defenses are more sophisticated now. Game is slower now. He'd play like 35 MPG. He'd probably be like Kawhi or something.

Kyrie is nice but not that nice. He's not carrying a team on his back all the way to the finals as your best player. He's not that guy

Who cares? I'm responding to him saying there are more possessions now. There were more in '87.

How many shots per game did each team take? Please include free throws in your answer.

We talking about Pippen or MJ? GOAT averaged 20+ as a 40 year old. With the pace today with no handchecking, or hand on the hip, **** would be a breeze.
