Just like we all drew it up in this series, we're now through five games with both star players on each team injured. Am I right? This series has been interesting so far, to say the least, as we've had the Milwaukee Bucks seemingly collapsing in Game 1 before turning it around in Game 2 and blowing out the Hawks. The rest of the series has been more of the same, with each ball club trading shots back and forth until now, as we head back to ATL for Game 6 with only MIL winning back to back games so far. Let's take a look once again at each team's totals/averages so far through the playoffs, as well as look at Games 1-3 vs. Games 4-5 of this series specifically to see what we can glean from this series with vs. without its two big stars.
