NBA Power Rankings: Cleveland Cavaliers ruin Christmas

team. 89. I have been doubtful of the Milwaukee Bucks all season long, but their play against the Cleveland Cavaliers has started to turn my opinion around on them. Now, I know that it is easier for teams to play their best and hardest against the top competition, but the Bucks have really given the Cavs all that they can handle in their few matchups this season. Giannis Antetokounmpo is a lock for his first All-Star selection this season –PLEASE FANS (and now media too) VOTE HIM IN AS A STARTER!– and Jabari Parker is finally looking like the player we thought he would be coming out of Duke in 2015. Milwaukee still needs to find consistent 3-point shooting on the floor, which would open the floor even more for Antetokounmpo and Parker, and until they do this team will always have an elephant in the room when they face the creme de la creme of the NBA. Milwaukee has the workings of a team that could give one of the higher seeded teams a hard-fought test in a playoff series. With Antetokounmpo and Parker looking like they could only get better –if even one of them adds a 3-point shot to their repertoire then it’ll be scary to see what they can do in the future.. 14-15.
