Syracuse fans guide to the NBA Playoffs: who should you root for?

The NBA Playoffs are starting tonight and we don’t anticipate any Syracuse Orange alumni seeing action.

So what does a casual fan do in these times? We’re here to help you out team by team.

First up, the Eastern Conference:

Milwaukee Bucks

The Antetokounmpo Brothers brought the Orange a nice blowout win over Wake Forest last season, but the Bucks still play Grayson Allen which negates pretty much everything.

Verdict: Nope

Boston Celtics

One one hand Malachi Richardson torched Malcolm Brogdon in that incredible Elite Eight game, on the other hand Brad Stevens’ Butler team knocked out the 2009-10 Orange squad.
