Bucks win ugly in Game 1; cause for concern or a great sign for Milwaukee? (04.19.2022)

The Milwaukee Bucks took down Chicago in an ugly-yet-satisfying Game 1 victory on Sunday. Did Chicago figure out a way to bog the Bucks down, or was that just typical Game 1 rust? Jim Owczarski and JR Radcliffe look at the defensive struggle, the role of Brook Lopez, and the decision by Mike Budenholzer to keep Giannis off the floor late in the game. Can the Bucks win a title if Jrue and Khris aren't at a star level? Is Giannis getting some superstar treatment from the refs?
