Nah, we're over .500 and you'll have to play on the road, the things BOS can't really overcome this season.

No it's the playoffs so it's totally different now. The hoop is now 11 ft and FT line 16 ft away. Game is completely different

No reason to even entertain imbeciles that venture over here from the Boston board.

Yikes, some of the comments on the Celtics board. My favorite was, “Kyrie cancels out Giannis and there is no way the bucks can match the Celtics depth after that.”

Wow! Both teams have deep benches but the bucks you could argue are deeper when fully healthy.

And there is not one player in the league that can “cancel out” Giannis, especially not Kyrie. Kyrie is great but if Giannis is the best or even in the top 3 best players in the league, where is Kyrie, maybe just cracking the top 10? Just off the top of my head I’d take
Giannis, KD, Steph, Durant, Lebron, Harden, Kawai, Embiid, Paul George, before I even start thinking about Kyrie. Even then you could still take guys like Westbrook, Lillard, Jokic, over him and not be out of bounds.

Ill probably get banned from the Celtics board once during the series. But I’ll save the trash talk for when it’s necessary.

Giannis so far this postseason is 6th in points, 3rd in rebounds, 9th in blocks and 66th in minutes per game.

Obviously a very different Bucks team this year compared to last year's team. No scrubs playing and an actual coach on the bench is a huge difference. Celts are very different too with Hayward and Kyrie. This is just a confident Bucks team right now. Even when the Pistons managed to keep it close for a half, it just seemed inevitable for the Bucks to destroy them. I also think Smart is a huge loss for the Celtics - that guy just has a knack for making a key play in the clutch. I'm pretty confident Horford is going to shoot better than Thon from 3. I'm a big fan of Stevens, but even if he can manage to contain Giannis, that will come at a huge cost, and the Bucks have too many other weapons.

Bucks in 5.

Hey, they got Kyrie and Hayward back. They missed them last year.

Here's a list of guys who played at least 6MPG in the playoffs for the Bucks during the last 7 game series:

Jabari Parker
Tony Snell
Thon Maker
Matthew Dellavedova
John Henson
Tyler Zeller
Jason Terry

I mean.... damn.

Kyle... is a helluva player, but in a battle of titans where he's the leader, can he lead like Giannis can? Kyle doesn't have a Lebron anymore. Horford's maybe the smartest big in the game - offensively and defensively, but physically he's nowhere near Giannis. Boston is going to have to really slow down the tempo of the game if they're going to have a chance, imo. In a fast-paced game, I can't see Horford keeping up with Giannis. And Bledsoe is on maybe the mission of his life. I would not be surprised if he out-plays... Kyle.

I love the irony in many of the Celtics fans on their board getting upset with Bucks fans for being confident, obnoxious or arrogant. Look in a mirror.

Boston sports fans are the most entitled (and luckiest) sports fans on the planet. They should just shut the f*** up forever.

What’s the record for highest scoring margin in a sweep of a second round series?

You guys care way too much about what another fan base thinks or feels.

I think it was around 100. Dwight's Magic over the Hawks team that beat us in 7.
