Reggie Miller said on TNT Tuesday night that he sees the East as a two-team race between Milwaukee and Toronto. Obviously Miami, Toronto, Boston, and Philly would disagree, as did TNT’s Ian Eagle who joined the Joe Rose Show this morning.
“I think the teams are fairly close… Boston is interesting, Miami is compelling, Toronto continues to amaze people at the fact they are still so potent defensively without Kawhi, and then the Bucks are considered the favorite," Eagle, who is in the NBA bubble calling games for TNT, said. "But I think there are teams in the East that believe Milwaukee is beatable.”
Eagle went on to say that while Milwaukee has been the best team, “there is no clear cut favorite” in the East.
The Heat are coming off a big win Tuesday over the Celtics and have a matchup with the Bucks tomorrow. With things this wide open, we could have one of the most exciting postseasons in recent memory coming up soon.
