A Kentucky basketball fan’s guide to the NBA Playoffs

Milwaukee Bucks
Fear the deer! The Milwaukee Bucks boast a former Wildcat on their roster. Eric Bledsoe is the starting point guard for Milwaukee. Bledsoe has bounced around the league a bit, but found a home with the Bucks after an early season trade.
Giannis Antetokounmpo gets most of the publicity for the Milwaukee Bucks, and rightfully so. The Greek Freak is a Top 10 player in the league. But, Bledsoe’s had a nice season since coning over from Phoenix. Bledsoe is averaging 17.7 points, 5.0 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game.
Milwaukee is in an interesting position this postseason, as they open play against the Boston Celtics. The Celtics have been ravaged by injuries to their star players this season and could be in trouble against the Bucks in Round 1. The C’s and Bucks tip off Sunday in Boston.
