Game Notes
Milwaukee essentially snuck into in the NBA Playoffs, thanks to late collapses by the Raptors, Wizards and Pistons. Their prize for making is a first round matchup with the league best Heat. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and company should make short work of the Bucks in this matchup, even if Ray Allen is shelved for most of this series. Unless Milwaukee gets monster games each night from Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis every night, expect the Heat to win this matchup in four or five games.
