We are all ready to watch the big three of the Nets take on their toughest test so far.

The world is ready to see if the Bucks can finally push through.

The Nets are going to be the favorites for this series.

That is understandable just by looking at their big three and offense.

This has the potential to be the greatest offense in NBA history.

Regardless of the little time they have played together, we have seen greatness from this team.

The Bucks are the ones with the task of having to defeat this titan.

However, they have a legitimate shot to do so.

Here are three ways for this Bucks team to beat the Nets.

 

3. Ball Movement

The Bucks have a superstar on their team in Giannis Antetokounmpo.

However, they solely do not rely on him anymore.

In fact, they had a playoff game where four players were able to score 20-plus points.

BUCKS SWEEP!

The Bucks have four players score 20+ as they sweep the reigning Eastern Conference champion Heat out of the playoffs 🙌

The Nets move the ball around as well, but we have seen their three best players rely on iso basketball in tough situations.

Furthermore, the Bucks can push the pace with their ball movement, and tire out the Nets defense.

The defense of the Nets is very poor and can easily be exploited by great teams.

By moving the ball all around, the Bucks can break down the defense.

James Harden, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant do not want to run around chasing three-point shooters.

 

2. Rebounding 

The leader in team rebounding within the playoffs as of right now are the Bucks.

That is impressive, but look at by how much.

They are 12.6 rebounds ahead of second place; 13.4 rebounds more from another team that is also in the second round.

Rebounding is one of their biggest advantages over the Nets.

This Nets team is not known as a rebounding unit.

They finished 13th after the first round in rebounding.

Durant isn’t the best rebounder after his Achilles injury.

Blake Griffin is a solid rebounder.

Harden is good for his position, but doesn’t really box out or crash the glass.

The Bucks can all rebound.

Their guards love to jump in and soar for them.

The bigs box out and do a great job of clearing it out for openings.

This is something that can be very advantageous for the Bucks in this series.

 

1. Giannis Antetokounmpo

Giannis is a man on a mission.

After two straight seasons of disappointment, he is ready to take the next step.

He was able to avenge the loss of last season to the Miami Heat by sweeping them this season.

Giannis was very vocal about the win as well.

Also, he is the perfect counterpart to Durant.

He is as tall and a lot stronger than Durant.

Giannis has some advantages over the former MVP.

There is something different about his approach.

Giannis and the Bucks have learned from their past mistakes.

They are ready to make a statement and get one step closer to the Finals.
