I think the Bucks have an easier road to the finals. Miami and Toronto look tough, but the Bucks are playing at a level right now that no one in the East can match.
In the West, the media is going to spooge all over itself for a Lakers-Clippers WCF (and the glorious collapse of the Rockets All-In smallball gamble), but the winner of that series (and I don't think it's a gimmie for LeBron and Co.) will be so beat up, the Bucks will win in 5-6. Milwaukee will e the 2nd consecutive small market city to win a title, and I think that bodes well for Portland's offseason free agent/trade chances.
