The Bucks did it again, underperformed and missed open looks but still walked away with the win. Are the Bucks just the team you can bet on but never trust? Are the Nuggets and Hawks out of their depth? And what happens to Toronto after their very bad, no good Game 1? All this plus some additional futures angles on the Big Picture.
