[EC First Round] (2)Boston vs. (7)Milwaukee

Having Delly and Brogdon back give the Bucks a chance if they come together. But you have to pick the Celts to win the series because they will defend and the Bucks sometimes have serious trouble scoring.

IMO, Greek Freak is still one year away from being able to will his team to victory in a series like this. Maybe he proves me wrong.

 

@Harrisment stopped you from getting all the playoff threads lol

Theres always next year junior

 

Giannis will win one game, but that's it

 

Milwaukee is too much of a hot mess, right now. Being completely destroyed by Philly doesn't inspire confidence, going into the playoffs.

 

Sneaky bad-matchup for the Celts. Bucks just beat them at the beginning of April and will have the best player on the court in each game. Without Kyrie, how good is Boston?

I say Boston in 6, but would not be surprised if Milwaukee win some this.

 

I think the Celtics and the system prevail in 7. Horford and that system Defense is my reasoning. They won’t keep giannis out of the paint entirely but I think they can really force him into a lot of short-mid range shots. Milwaukee just doesn’t have defense. It’s really gonna make life that much easier for the young guys in Boston and horford up front.

 

I'm going with the Bucks in 7 because I don't know what to think of both teams. The Bucks shouldn't be as bad as they are...but then they are...and the Celtics have so many injuries. I think in the end, it'll come down to a 7 game series and when it is a toss up like that I just go with the best player bringing home the win.

 

Bucks win this series.

 

Tatum and brown, with Rozier taking irving place will all have to set it up a notch. Hartford gonna have to rebound and push defensive momentum for them to compete. Off the bench , Marcus will have to score at will, along with Monroe stepping it up like Hartford for them to win. I can see the series going to 7 if Celtics can do this. They have the home court.

 

Who should the Bucks hire for HC in the offseason?

 

Giannis is so overrated

 

my god ante cant buy a bucket!

 

For people that think "Coaches mean nothing in the NBA" here, just look at this series.

Just look at the Bucks. People are always downplaying the value of good coaching in Basketball, especially the NBA. This series may be a good example of how big a difference coaching can make.

As for the Bucks, I imagine right now with their roster I think they would be many coaches first option? If I'm Budenholzer I run there.

 

Said no one ever lol. Guy is good. He just needs a LeBron like team around him. Filed with 3 n d guys. So basically the rockets team

 

Pretty sure the Bucks owner just scratched Prunty's name off the interview list. They keep playing this bad and they might have a new interim coach for their home games

 

Am I trippin, or I hear McHale as one of the commentators?

 

I'm not so sure. I think the Nuggets -if they don't screw around and fire Malone- would be the top coaching destination. I'd go there if I'm Bud but I don't think his contract expires after next year and he hasn't done much to warrant getting fired.

 

The Hawks are letting Bud interview with other teams, well, they've allowed him to interview with the Suns.

I think the Bucks would be the top coaching spot just because they already have a superstar player there, but I guess Jokic definitely has the potential to be a star player himself.

 

Tatum and brown are athletic .

Boston has a **** ton of talent and assets . It will be interesting to see what direction they go .
