Previewing Milwaukee/Indiana Playoff Series: Can Bucks handle the Pace?

The Milwaukee Bucks’ first-round series was never going to feel particularly easy with the way the Bucks stumbled to the finish line of the 2023-24 NBA season, and losing Giannis Antetokounmpo for at least part of the series only intensified the challenge looming in the spunky Indiana Pacers for Damian Lillard, Khris Middleton, and the remaining Bucks.

To prepare for the series, Ti Windisch of the Gyro Step sat down with Alex Golden of the Setting the Pace podcast to go over the starters matching up on both ends, as well as key bench players for both sides, and general factors that feel important to the series (especially pace). Gyro Step listeners, check out Setting the Pace wherever you get your podcasts for the opposition intel this series!
