The Miami Heat are a great team, but they are going to have some stiff competition in the East this year. The years of the East being super weak are long gone.

There are some super talented teams near the top of the Eastern Conference. Since that is where the Miami Heat want to be, they are going to be fighting tooth and nail with the other great teams.

Miami should have the defensive abilities to go toe-to-toe with the best of the best, but that doesn’t mean other teams don’t have talent, too. In fact, one of their biggest rivals might have an even better defense than them.

The Milwaukee Bucks just won their first NBA championship in 50 years and are looking to make it two in a row. How do they stack up against the Miami Heat?

Miami Heat Eastern Conference roundup: Milwaukee Bucks latest news

The biggest news in the world of the Milwaukee Bucks is the best news possible – they are NBA Champions. Maybe it’s old news, but it is still the most relevant at this point in time.

Giannis Antetokounmpo finally won a championship for the city that drafted him. It’s impossible to hate a guy as genuine as he is, no matter how hard Miami Heat fans want to.

The Bucks will be going into this season looking to defend their title. They’ll be bringing back a very similar cast to the one they had last season.

The only recent news is that they gave their head coach, Mike Budenholzer, a three-year contract extension. He has gotten a lot of criticism over the years, but he finally got the job done last season.
