I would have preferred the Celtics winning in 6 but given the circumstances I'll take it! :lol:

They have guys that have stepped up without him though. Pat Connaughton is balling.

Nothing more infuriating when your team is clearly going to lose some key game and the morons in the crowd are dancing and singing. Who the **** let them in?

They bought their way in, and I don't know why they bother TBH, they can't possibly be actual team fans and be so happy in that moment. Probably flipped a coin last minute between the game and the movies or something.

Yeah it’s pretty pathetic.

You just know those old crowds back in the day didn’t have so many morons like that.

This series has taken so many unexpected turns to the point where I just don’t know who to pick in game 7. Normally, I would just lean towards the home team, but Milwaukee has taken two of the three games in Boston. But just when I think Boston is out, they come right back, with huge wins in games 4 and 6 on the road to avoid a 3-1 deficit and elimination simultaneously. We had two nail biting games that came down to the wire. We’ve had quite a few memorable moments in this series, filled with heroic performances from players such as Jrue and Horford.

I’m really impressed by what both teams have done. Boston has been able to recover from defeat each time and take the following game, coming up huge in the games that could have potentially decided the series had they gone differently, and two of those wins occurred while missing key players. But the bucks are doing this without Middleton. Whether or not you think he’s their second best player or Jrue is, he’s without question their second best SCORER and that’s something you really need against a tough defensive team like Boston. I didn’t have the bucks going past game 5 without him, but here we are going into game 7. Even if Boston closes this out, I will be eating crow for this one. Boston did far better than I could have possibly expected.

Game 7s are usually low scoring and ugly. It will come down to composure and execution down the stretch.

I still can't believe we survived a 45-20 game from Giannis. The defense basically locked everyone else up, and JAYSON MOTHERF*CKING TATUM brought us back home for Game 7. Unreal.

Anyone's game now. This feels like the real Finals.

What a game by the 2 stars

Giannis is hitting timely 3's and making FTs now. It's scary

yeah if the Celtics drafted Giannis instead of Olynyk

Props to Tatum. Giannis was going to find a way to take the series by himself but Tatum got those bunch of shots in a row and snuffed it out.

It looks like Celtics in seven.

Should be fun!

Nah. It'll be close.

I'm even tempted to take the Bucks outright in game 7.

That's my leaning but I'm a huge Giannis fan and Tatum has proven worthy. He'll need another gem though.

I like this post because you can point to it later if either team gets blown out and pretend to have predicted it happening. :lol:

Game 7 will be tough and whoever wins this series will have their hands full with Miami.

Tatum's jersey is going to be hanging in the rafters of the garden some day. What a special player.

Because they kept letting him take 4 steps every drive to the rim.

It will come down to charging vs blocking calls.

Who will win the series?
