Milwaukee at Miami

The only reason Milwaukee made the playoffs is that there are a slew of bad teams in the East, and somebody had to be the No. 8 seed to get swept by the defending champs. The 110-87 beating in Game one was thorough. The Bucks shot 41.5%, missed eight free throws (60%) and got crushed on the boards (46-31) by one of the worst rebounding teams in the league. Miami really didn't break a sweat, outscoring the Bucks in every quarter by 2, 5, 8 and 8 points. Milwaukee is the only playoffs team with a sub-.500 record. Milwaukee is no bounce-back team, either at 8-17 ATS in their last 25 games following a loss, 9-42 ATS against a team with a winning record and 6-21 ATS in their last 27 against the Eastern Conference. Miami's 3-point specialists Ray Allen and Shane Battier combined to go 3-for-15 from beyond the arc in Game one - bad news for the Bucks as that won't happen again. Miami has won 38 of its last 40 games and is 10-1 ATS against a team with a losing record. Play the Miami Heat in Game two.
