let's win this series! Taking a game or two in Milwaukee would be incredible.

As an FYI, I’m guessing a few insecure Bucks fans will post here talking about how this will be a sweep/gentlemen’s sweep. Dont take the bait.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's instructional video which shows how he keeps his pivot foot in one spot without sliding it or lifting it while trying to score when catching the ball deep in the paint under the basket.

Gotta keep Drummond and Griffin off the boards. Win the rebound battle and space them out with Horford/Tatum and we move on to take on Orlando/Brooklyn.

You cant let Brad Stevens have 5 days off to prepare for you.

Celtics win and steal home court right off the bat.

Celtics absolutely need to steal one of these first 2 games. You have 2 shots at this before every game becomes must win games. Pressure will be on the bucks to start so we need some classic performances from several key guys to send a message.

Turnovers concern me immensely. Bucks have a ton of length and taking care of the ball hasn't been a strength, as of late. Detail!

Looks like no Smart likely for most of the series but it is the time of year that Scary Terry creeps into Drew Bledsoe’s brain...so we got that going for us. Even without Smart I don’t hate the way we match up here... need Horford to do his thing and some wing D from Brown and Tatum. I like our Bench guys to be productive as long as the chuck brothers (Terry and Morris) can keep a handle on the hero ball.

Interesting to see what Semi’s role will be... could see a surprise start? Or more likely some spot minutes to mix it up.

I hope Middleton misses at least one shot.

No Smart, no Brogdon to start this series. First one back gives his team a big edge I'd say.

We cannot afford Middleton to go full KD again this year. If he does, we are done. If not, I see a Game 7 and I like our chances with Kyrie, Big Al and Hayward on our side when the ball weighs a ton.

Sixers fans did the exact same thing last year, look at how that ended up for them LOL

Hahaha, you made it Celtics @ TBD... If it's DET it will be DET @ Celtics. We all know that DET probably doesn't win a game, you can easily put Celtics @ Bucks. I don't think it's disrespect towards the Pistons either.

True, Middleton averaged 25 on .640 from the field...

We need to keep him under .500 from the field for the series.

Danny Ainge challenged Rozier when he was on radio talking about Smart injury. It was subtle but Terry responded to the challenge.
