Welcome to Opposition Intel!

After a vital (and dramatic) win over the Miami Heat in their last game out, the Milwaukee Bucks head into another important game tonight.

Buoyed by the late game heroics of Khris Middleton, Zaza Pachulia and Jerryd Bayless, the Bucks should at the very least be walking a little taller as they arrive at the Bradley Center for tonight’s game, having snapped their six game losing streak when they needed it most.

That doesn’t mean it’s going to get any easier for them though, as tonight’s opponent is the hungry Indiana Pacers, a team with playoff aspirations of their own.

Ahead of the action, we decided to get an insight into the Indiana Pacers’ season so far, how the Bucks are seen around the league, and the game’s key matchups.

To do just that, I spoke to C. Cooper (@C2_Cooper) who writes about the Pacers over at SB Nation’s excellent Indy Cornrows.

Let’s take a look at how the conversation went!
