will the Milwaukee bucks make the second round of the playoffs?

It's not likely.  They will have the six seed which means playing the Nets, who are looking SOLID with Krstic contributing a lot points.  Even if they were to catch Washington (2 games back with 5 to play), they would have to play Cleveland who is only a little less hot than the Nets.  Lebron will put that team on his back to win one playoff series.  Maybe next year, though, with an improved Bogut and Bell having the trust to be a solid backup pg from the beginning of the year.

I think Cleveland has a very good shot at the playoffs; the only team that stands in their way are the Pistons, but besides CLE and DET, that Central division isn't that competitive.

I think they have a legitimate chance to make it at least to the Western Conference Finals.  They have Brand, an MVP candidate, Cassell who runs the offense well, and a decent enough supporting cast.  I think Kaman got hot at the right time too.\n\nPlus, they're facing Denver with home court advantage (which I thought was funny because we all know they were losing on purpose to get the 6th seed).  They should be fine.  Better than the Lakers *hisssss*

If you mean ever, I think that they could.  They have a pretty good nucleus of young players.  If you mean this year...they will have trouble making the playoffs.

They've done a good job during the regular season and I see no reason why this won't continue in the playoffs. Bill Clement and company are polished and professional and I look forward to watching as much playoff hockey as possible for the next couple of months. I hope ESPN is crying in their worthless NBA beer for losing the NHL contract.\n\nGO SABRES!!!

I would have to agree with you 100%! It would be a fantastic series to watch, and honestly? I think any team that wants to BE the best should have to PLAY the best, too! I think this year it is going to come down to the Spurs and Heat, but it isn't a SURE THING, and I think that only adds to the fascination! The only teams that have been contested in these playoffs are the teams that have played the Spurs, and the teams that have played the Pistons. The scary part? Those two teams are STILL standing...! What will happen next? No clue! But I DO have a feeling it will be San Antonio and Phoenix in the Conference Finals...! =)

I don't think the Spurs could still make it to the next round...

Nope. Shaq's knees are failing him and it will take more than d-wade's heriocs for the Heat to repeat their success last season. I predict they'll be eliminated in the second round of the playoffs. TD and the Spurs are gonna win it all this year.

The only correct answer from anybody is they do not know. It is too early in the season to give an accurate answer as to any NBA team making the playoffs right now.

I hope so. They started out 0-9 last year but then pulled it together and actually won home court advantage for the first round. Maybe they can come back from their slow start and make the playoffs again. If Tyson Chandler can keep playing the way he has the last few games they got a good shot.

I think they have a good chance...the series is tied now<2-2>...and they will play the next 2 games on their home court...i hope they'll win cuase they deserve the title....also their coach is awesome..Pat Riley won many titles and he can lead Miami to win a new one...

i hate to sound mean but they really arent that good, sure they may contend in their division, or to at least make the playoffs, but reality check...spurs, suns, mavs. not to mention the eastern conference...cavs, pistons, heat. but give it some time they might make a run and get some pub on espn, but as far as abc, forget about it unless they are playing one of the aforementioned teams who will draw the ratings.

yes. they can and they did.\nChicago is now 8-0 all-time against Miami at home during the playoffs.

No way there done in the second round when they run into Shaq and the Heat. Who do the Nets have down low to guard Shaq. Don't give me whimpey Nenad Krstic. Even if they pull of a miracle and beat the Heat did u forget about the Pistons.
