I'll take the Celtics in this one. Brad Stevens is a smart coach who will find a way to neutralize Giannis and the Bucks playoff inexperience will show.
I’m rooting for Milwaukee’s demise, but I don’t like Boston either I think Milwaukee takes this in 6...Boston didn’t impress me at all against Indiana
Celtics in 6. Bucks are much improved but Celtics have confidence from last year when they beat the Bucks without Irving and Hayward.
I know Boston has played terrible this season, but for whatever reason I'm feeling they will take this series in 6.
I think Milwaukee will take this only because they have home court. They're a better team than Boston, but Boston's home court advantage is something else.
Celtics are experienced and Kyrie is a better playoff performer than Giannis at this point in their careers. Horford can take him away and then what? Boston in 6 and then the media can begin the Giannis doesn’t have any help is he going to go to the Lakers articles.
hateful schedule. How are we supposed over here to get sober and digest the Easter lamb in time for this game? It's only like one time in the whole season a game is in such a perfect time for Europeans and it happened to be when everyone is drunk our of their mind.
Celtics in 6. They have the most talent between the two teams' playoffs rotation and they are healthier. Brogdon missing games is huge. The Bucks will need major contribution from 2 of Hill, Snell, Brown and Connaughton. Mirotic is not at full strength either. Can't win 4 games playing Ilyasova and Brown 30 minutes.
This is a really tough one and that's why predictions are all over the map. Boston has been an under-performing enigma all year, while the Bucks have been an over-performing defensive powerhouse all year. If I ever have to pick in such a situation, I usually go with the better defensive team and the team that's developed better habits. Bucks in six.
It always amazes me how well Horford plays against bigger players. Horford is Embiid's Kryptonite and today he is playing Giannis well early. I wonder what Giannis' plan B is if he can't bully his way to the rim all the time. EDIT: Plan B is let the refs call every foul under the sun.
