Even if the Bucks improve their energy and poise against the Hawks they still have to deal with the circumstances of physics.

The Bucks couldn’t match the Hawks’ opening oomph in the playoff series opener. Presumably they won’t be on their heels to open Game 2 on Tuesday, but they won’t be able to get bigger and stronger by then.

“We’ve got some mismatches we know we have to deal with in this series,” Bucks coach Scott Skiles said flatly after the Hawks’ 102-92 victory at Philips Arena.

With standout center Andrew Bogut out for the season because of injury, the Bucks don’t have the bodies to deal with Hawks center Al Horford and forward Josh Smith in the post. Those two dominated scoring inside and created outside shots for teammates as the Hawks dazed the Bucks from the start.

I'm really hoping the Bucks make this a 7 game series.
