The Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks have both played without key players in their first round series in the Eastern Conference playoffs. 

But TNT analyst Charles Barkley thinks the Heat are at a bigger disadvantage without Tyler Herro than the Bucks are with Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined. 

The Bucks defeated the Heat Wednesday without the service of their two-time MVP. 

“In this series, if Miami had Herro and the Bucks didn't have Giannis, they could win. They can't win without Herro but Milwaukee can beat them without Giannis. 

As weird as it sounds, Barkley may have a point. The Bucks are a deeper than the Heat, making them more equipped to deal with losing a key player. This isn't saying Herro is comparable to Antetokounmpo. It just says the loss of Herro is more impactful because of the Heat's roster.
