He doesn't have good odds with Giannis, Bledsoe and Midds not passing him the ball. We will just have to be enamored with his clutch 3 point defense.


For someone who does not get the ball, he sure seems to be shooting alot, especially coming back from an injury :D



Giannis must have been out for a while. ;)

What's hilarious is that Boston will be without their 2 best players and even if Kyrie was out there they still wouldn't be a terrible match up for us on Paper.

Yet, I feel like I will be shocked if we win more than 1 game in this series.

Yeah, I don't know too many people who would pick Prunty's 10 man rotations and YMCA pick-up game style offense over Brad Stevens.

Oh man, this could be so bad that it might end up being good.

The main advantage of the Giannis/Bled/Mids/Brog/Henson/Snell lineups was never meant to be their offense but their defense, and we all know how that went.


That Celtics lineup without Kyrie has a 105 off rating per nba stats.

Giannis/Midds/Brog/Bled - 112 off rating.

Hm.
You are right, I didn't realise that.

We have been beating Pops the last few times we have played the spurs. Would Stevens be all that better?

The Caltics though are not 40 year olds, they can push the ball

Good Luck guys... Celtics don't have stars, they got a better coach, but this is your best shot.

GOOD LUCK !

That's how it's been whenever the team has had a few days off. You look at the talent on paper and think we should win. Then 39 seconds into the game you realize there's no chemistry, no effective game plan. Just a bunch of me first basketball.

It will be interesting for sure. The "optimist" in me says maybe they were all just tuning themselves for this series and weren't really worried about winning. Maybe they looked at the seeding and figured that this position gives them the best chance to get to ECF since we definitely aren't beating Toronto or Cleveland in the second round. If that's the case they sure left a lot up to chance relying on Miami and Washington to split on game 82. Typing it all out now that sounds like some absurd 4D chess kind of stuff and I'm back to thinking Celtics in 5.

then 5 minutes later delly enters the game and they go on an 11-2 run over the next 10 minutes and are back into the game

Yep.I think the current Celtics is the best matchup the Bucks could get.After hearing the LoB podcast i am turning into a believer.Just scared i will be disappointed again.

Oh and Bucks in 6!

28 hours out and I'm still going Bucks in six. Talent always beats coaching in the early rounds of the playoffs until such time that talent runs up against talent in the later rounds.

Individually we are talented. Because of coaching we are not a talented team, however.

Where is this talent that you guys speak of? We have one All Star when most playoff teams have two or more. 40% of our starting lineup consists of Tony Snell and John Henson who don't even qualify as quality bench players. Statistically, we have the worst bench out of any playoff team.

The Bucks have one player and then hope that Middleton or Bledsoe are hot. This is not a talented roster.

Bledsoe>Rozier
Middleton>Brown
Snell<Tatum
Giannis>Morris
Henson<Horford

Brogdon>Larkin
Jabari>Moose
Zeller<Baynes

Who cares about a bench in the playoffs? Playoffs are an 8 man rotation. The Bucks have a better 8 with these Boston injuries.
