Giannis Antetokounmpo may be very possible the very best basketball participant on the planet, and so long as he’s wholesome, the Milwaukee Bucks can be threats to return to the NBA Finals. They gave the Celtics all they might deal with in a seven-game collection loss within the second spherical of final season’s playoffs, and that was with out the providers of sidekick Khris Middleton. With Middleton returned to the lineup and a top quality rotation of helpful function gamers complementing Milwaukee’s Huge Three, it’s a protected guess to anticipate the Bucks to complete close to the highest of the Japanese Convention as soon as once more. One X-factor: newly signed Joe Ingles, who would match Mike Budenholzer’s system to a T if he can overcome his age and restoration from a torn ACL to supply productive NBA minutes as soon as once more.
Adam Spinella
Let’s be sincere: this season might have ended very in a different way for the Celtics with a wholesome Khris Middleton and some totally different taking pictures performances within the postseason. Milwaukee remains to be an extremely robust opponent with the very best participant within the East, an All-Star pair of guards subsequent to him, and expertise all through the group. Milwaukee’s flaw is of their depth, which renders them unable to outlive one harm to the core. Giannis alone can propel this staff to the highest seed within the East. They didn’t essentially get higher this summer season, however I don’t suppose they actually acquired worse both.
Jack Simone
The Bucks are the very best staff within the East outdoors of the Celtics. And so they would possibly even be higher than the Celtics. The Joe Ingles addition was good, however the actual prize was them re-signing Bobby Portis and Pat Connaughton to longer offers. For those who take a look at the East from a tiered perspective, it must be Boston and Milwaukee on prime, then an enormous hole, then the following group. They’re the actual deal, and so long as Giannis Antetokounmpo is there, that can stay the case.
Jeff Clark
Giannis is flat-out probably the most unstoppable pressure that there’s within the NBA proper now. At instances the Celtics have been in a position to frustrate him, or get him barely off his sport plan. However that solely means a 25 level evening as a substitute of a 35 level evening. His staff is aware of easy methods to play with him and play off of him and their protection is prime notch. They didn’t enhance a lot this offseason, however they had been ok to be a legit Finals contender final yr and must be once more this yr.
Ballot
Would the Bucks have overwhelmed the Celtics with a wholesome Khris Middleton?
Your flip. Are the Bucks good?
RMU Basketball is back on a win streak after wins over Wright State and Green Bay, with the latest coming Friday night by 22 points. But after beating the worst team in the Horizon League, the Colonials are on the road to take on one of the best teams in Milwaukee (13-6, 6-2).
The Panthers are at the end of a three-game homestand, with wins over Green Bay and coming off an impressive 79-64 victory over league contender, Youngstown State. RMU can get over .500 in league play and make a case for being in the top tier itself with a win on Sunday afternoon.
Here are the keys to the game for the road team.
1. Good perimeter defense without fouling
Milwaukee’s strength is in its backcourt offensively, with four double-digit scoring guards. Themus Fulks (15.3 ppg and 4.9 apg) leads the way, while Kentrell Pullian and AJ McKee are also in the mix as go-to options. Plus, Erik Pratt has recently returned, averaging 10.7 ppg off the bench as the team’s 6th Man. They aren’t a good shooting team but they thrive slashing to the basket. So if you’re the Colonials, you have to do not only a good job preventing them getting easy buckets, but also without fouling.
2. Dealing with Jamichael Stillwell on the boards
The Panthers are one of the best rebounding teams in the nation, ranking in the top 10 at just under 42 a game, including 15 offensive rebounds on average. Stillwell, who missed a couple of games before returning the last game, is averaging 13.4 ppg and 11.9 rpg, which is first in the nation. The other elite rebounder in the Horizon League is RMU’s Alvaro Folguerias, who is producing 12.8 ppg and 10.3 rpg. The Colonial big man will need to have a good game to have a chance on the road.
3. Kam Woods having an all-league performance
Is there are chance that Woods can make his way to an all-league team? He’s currently averaging 14.5 ppg and 4.4 apg, with his shooting percentages starting to rise after a few good outings. He’s been good on the road as of late as well, including a 29-point outing at Oakland.
Milwaukee is one of the top teams in the Horizon League, and beating them on the road will be a tough challenge. If Woods doesn’t have a good game, then RMU Basketball isn’t going to win.

What is behind the steep increase in rental prices?
A recent antitrust lawsuit accuses software company RealPage for pricing scheme harmful to renters.
The Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit against property manager Greystar Thursday, accusing the Charleston, S.C.-based company of charging consumers hidden fees adding up to “hundreds of millions of dollars” since at least 2019.
Greystar manages properties across the U.S. including in the Milwaukee and Madison areas.
“The FTC is suing Greystar for deceptively advertising low monthly rents only to later saddle tenants with hundreds of dollars of hidden junk fees,” said FTC Chair Lina M. Khan in a Jan. 16 press release.
The lawsuit was filed alongside the State of Colorado.
The hidden fees “allegedly range from tens to hundreds of dollars a month,” and include utility fees, “valet trash” fees, package handling fees and more, according to the FTC’s press release.
The agency also alleged that tenants “often have not discovered the fees until after they have signed a lease or moved in.”
“Simply put, consumers cannot lease a Greystar-managed apartment by paying only the advertised price,” the Jan. 16 complaint alleges.

The property management company manages more than 800,000 apartments across the U.S., the release said.
The FTC’s lawsuit comes days after the U.S. Department of Justice and several other state attorneys general filed a lawsuit against six of the largest landlords in the U.S., including Greystar. The DOJ complaint accuses the property management companies of sharing non-public rent data in a software system, causing tenants to lose bargaining power.
How many properties does Greystar manage in Wisconsin?
Greystar manages several properties around the Milwaukee area, according to its website, including the The Lydell in Glendale, Deer Run in Brown Deer and Evoni in Milwaukee. It also manages two properties in Madison.
