PLAYOFFS, 2nd RND, GM #1 – Celtics @ Bucks – 1:00PM, Sun, 04-28-19

[K For Three]

Were invitations for trolls sent out or something?

[Celtics_History_Lesson]

Celtics need to dedicate this series to Russell Ziskey.

When Russell Ziskey went to Wisconsin, the locals did terrible things to him, unprovoked things. Russell Ziskey, the Celtics will avenge you.


Russell Ziskey





One of the most immature teams in the league, except for old and effective game of Middleton, baseball smarts of Connaughton, and Brook although Lopez can snap at times. Nothing wrong with Bonzie.


They brought him in for "veteran play"?



Eric The Clown, The Greek Fork, disgraceful behavior on the court. Bledsoe makes Rasheed Wallace look like a meditating monk, while The Greek Fork could be the most protected by the NBA player east of San Francisco but he complains all the time, threatens the refs, blocks refs from walking, and constantly flouts the rules.

MVP candidate? He can finish on breaks, and score inside against short players, wow, so great. 25.6% from long range, something to remember, and waive a Celtic who runs like a fool to stop his outside shot and then either fouls him or watches The Greek Fork travel by to score on a drive.

Will the NBA send two refs to help the Bucks or three? The Celtics, which means the less-intelligent players which don't need to be named like Morris and Rozier, better not fall for the Fork Protection scam and gift them points via techs.

Three or four steps, and although he hates the Greek National Team the commentators will call that a "Euro-Step", to score the basket, blind refs. Even more annoying, always catches the ball in a bad spot in the paint, but slides the pivot foot and then can score. If a golfer at The Masters was kicking the ball out of the rough someone would see it, but the Fork is slipping and sliding in the paint and everyone says it is a great play.

Career-high turnover rate this season, but the Greek Fork would have set records if a ref had called some of his hundreds of walking and dribbling and stepping violations.

Horford 100% of the time against The Greek Fork. If the coach starts sending out short players to defend, fire the coach. Never leave Middleton, he is the real basketball star there.

A fake number 1 seed. A big regular season record because they plays Bulls and Cavs.

C'mon, it's Czechoslovakia. We zip in, we pick 'em up, we zip right out again. We're not going to Moscow. It's Czechoslovakia. It's like going into Wisconsin.

The Bucks are usually like their local cheese.

Steal one in Bucks home court.
I don't think the Bucks can win in Boston.
C's in 6.

Yeah, they won their last game in Boston by 13, but sure. You guys are hilarious with the overconfidence. This is not the 17-18 Sixers team.

Oh well, you're free to think what you like. It will have no bearing on the outcome.

It’s cute that you’re trying to bring up a regular season game when we didn’t have Horford & Baynes (the 2 guys that can stop Giannis). We weren’t playing that well & Hayward was struggling at the time. Smells like you’re a bit worried considering you went to the length of commenting on our board.

[reload141]

I see Milwaukee winning in this and 6 , maybe 5. Boston would have been a 5 seed if Victor oladipo stays healthy all year.

Eh, we'd still be facing Milwaukee in the 2nd round though? No way Indy beats us even with Dipo.

Just like you're free to believe the Bucks have the ability to win this series.

You guys keep coming at us with the whole "OH BUT WE HAD JASON KIDD COACHING US LAST YEAR, AND OUR BENCH IS REVAMPED"

Yeah, we didn't have Kyrie or Hayward and we still painted the court in Bucks blood.

GTFOH

Playoff Al!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's funny we don't hear about average Al anymore. Or how he gets paid too much.

A bunch of talk radio morons thought Enes Kanter was better because he rebounds better.

Al is a terrific basketball player. Very high-level player who is not a 10 at any skill, but is an eight at almost everything that matters in basketball.

He can defend, pass, block shots, switch, shoot the 3, post up. He also sets screens and doesn't need the ball to be effective. Just an absolutely splendid basketball player.

There's a reason that his teams always go deep in the playoffs from the Hawks to the Celtics. If we get on CP3s playoff record as a negative, Al's has to be positive.

I don't think so you were behind at half-time in three out of the four games.

Well we don't know now do we? In that alternate reality where Dipo plays maybe Turner does an ankle injury 1 minute in? or Bogdanovic pulls a hamstring?

Facts are facts, we swept them and Bucks swept Pistons.

This is going to be a great matchup.

Do games end at halftime now? Pretty sure there are two whole quarters to go after that.

Looking forward to seeing an exciting 7 game series full of action!

[robdog_5]

I dont remember anyone being this confident on this board since the Sixers fans last year in the playoffs. How did that go?

Also we have more road wins this year in playoffs already compared to last year. I'm liking having Kyrie and Hayward being the closers in those situations and our young guys continuing to learn. Gonna be a fun series. I dont see the Celtics ever blowing out the Bucks but I do think the bucks will blow out the Cs at least once. It wont matter though because all the games are only worth 1. Think it will go 7. I like our closers

[BRUNiNHO91]

Had my eyes set on this match up for months now.

This to me screams Boston x Orlando ECF in 2010..it's got that same type of 'Boston had a trash regular season, Orlando will smash and they can't guard Howard' vibe..

Celts in 6.

We just going to sit here and pretend that Boston didn't start Semi Ojeleye at C and had 4 SF's playing in that game with no Horford, Baynes or Morris? Lol

yeah but if Victor oladipo does not get hurt at midseason you guys are a 5 seed & Indiana likely beats you. I'm not really a fan of one particular team in the NBA but I'm just not impressed with you guys this year. Sorry.

I just got to say one thing. Terry Rozier has been a gem this postseason. You were right, he is battle tested. I been ragging on Terry and Jaylen all year and now I am loving those two.

The thing is though, when Terry steps it up this team just runs smoother. My goodness did he have some rough times in the regular season. It was down right WTF worthy. He NEEDS to continue doing what he has been doing this postseason and if he does he will be an X factor since he feels teams like the Bucks and Sixers are his enemy.

The apology at the end of the post is just a dead giveaway that this dude is Canadian, and is likely a Raptor fan. Nice of you to chime in on a Celtic forum, in a gamethread against the Bucks.

I just think our guys aren't at all intimidated by this Bucks team, and that might give us some competitive edge. Sure, they added Brook and a more celebrated coach, but this is essentially the same team that lost to a team missing two of it's best players. And I hope our guys take pride in that and rub it in their faces every game. Rozier is just a guy who steps it up in big situations. I have unwavering confidence in his unwavering confidence lol.

[ThirtyFour]

I really do not have a favorite team I just love the NBA. I live in a town that doesn't have NBA basketball but watch all the games that I can and I don't see you guys having any trouble with the Boston Celtics in the next round. they were behind in three out of the four games against Indiana at HT, and if Victor oladipo plays I think it goes 7 with Indiana possibly winning. I see they sure are cocky on the Boston board most of them are picking Boston in six. No way!!!

From the Bucks board.

“No way!!!”
