The NBA season might not resume. But that's not stopping the Milwaukee Bucks' Mike Budenholzer from preparing for the playoffs.

The 2019-20 season is currently stalled. Despite this, Budenholzer continues to study for potential playoff opponents. In fact, the Orlando Magic and Brooklyn Nets are the most likely teams to face the Bucks in the first round. Which means that the Bucks head coach has been studying for both opponents during the hiatus.

Via Kyle Hightower of the Associated Press:

“Milwaukee coach Mike Budenholzer said he has spent part of this hiatus studying the Orlando Magic and Brooklyn Nets — the Bucks’ two most likely first-round playoff foes — as well as other Eastern Conference teams.”

The Bucks head coach isn't the only one. In fact, the Toronto Raptors' Nick Nurse is outspoken about using this time to prepare for potential playoff opponents. Nurse stated the following before the season was suspended.

“When we hit March 1, we’ve got a kind of playoff prepping plan thing that kicks in,” the Raptors coach said. “We spread the teams around our staff members and they prepare a pretty detailed couple of hour video sessions.

“They would normally come into my office and start showing that to me one-on-one. It’s a two-hour video that we go through probably in about three hours on certain teams in the East and then a handful of them in the West as well.

“The coaches were started in on that already and they’ll continue on that. The only difference is there’s no real one-one-one time with me yet. They’ll probably just have to send me their edit and then I’ll just have to watch them and talk to them on the phone.”

At the current moment, the Bucks have the best record in the NBA at 53-12.
