Paul Pierce thinks the Milwaukee Bucks are venison, and after their Game One loss, it's understandable.
On my part, I feel the pronouncement a wee bit premature, as Milwaukee is not just a good team, but the league-best team in the regular season, stars the likely Most Valuable Player in Giannis Antetokounmpo, and a single game simply not enough data to arrive at such a conclusion.
Don't get me wrong; Game One made me look like less of a raving madman singing the praises of Al Horford and the Boston Celtics' vaunted system defense against Giannis, and what they did right (apart from their shooting numbers) was both exceedingly repeatable and clearly far from most players' top gear.
